It helps decide what an agent should work on and whether to review the proposed work before running it.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hunt scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 234 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Compose a shift for the host-opened project: settle the work, the ending, and the hours, then either show it for approval or cut it and start.

Resolve the installed plugin root to an absolute $NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} on Claude Code, $PLUGIN_ROOT on Codex when set, otherwise the absolute path this skill was attached from (skills/hunt/SKILL.md). Run every command below through "$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/runtime/ns" — native Windows: & "$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT\runtime\windows\ns.ps1" in the PowerShell tool, same verbs — which resolves the host and the workspace; ns help lists the verbs, and ns bind prints the six resolved facts (TASK_ROOT, NIGHTSHIFT_WORKSPACE, NS, NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT, HOST, SOURCE); $NS below is that NS. Never a bare relative path: the working directory persists between calls.

Read $NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/nightshift/references/compose/execution-modes.md before composing: it carries the state map, who selects work, when the clock starts, direct-mode authority, the tooling policy, and how several entries become one shift. If $NS/ does not exist yet, tell the owner to run Setup, then return.

0. Read the sentence first

The owner's sentence is binding intent. There is no keyword list.

A time budget, an actionable objective, and clear direct-execution intent — regardless of wording — are a complete prompt: compose it and run it. Examples of a complete prompt: "use the next 20 hours adding features and enhancing existing ones"; "8 hours clear lint and test debt"; "make checkout less ugly, run it".

  • Complete → Automatic, run directly. Do not offer catalog cards. Do not ask who selects, when to start, or "same as last time." Write the shift policy from existing tools, no new elevation, and remembered verification, unless the sentence already granted a policy or allowance.
  • Incomplete → Ask only a field that is still missing, then continue.
  • The owner asked to pick from the menu, or named Guided → section 1.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
