schedule

schedule is a skill for Claude Code from orwa-mahmoud/nightshift. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,340 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A scheduling helper for Nightshift, a system that organises coding work into shifts. It checks that work is queued and prints a launchd or cron configuration, which starts a command at a set time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a Nightshift project for work that should begin at a fixed time on macOS or systems using cron.
Why use it?
It catches setup problems before a scheduled run, but does not register the schedule itself. The owner receives the configuration and the one command needed to install 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 B, and why

schedule scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Get the host-opened project ready to start on a clock, then hand the owner the config. Work through these in order; each one is a check the owner would otherwise discover at 4am.

Resolve the installed plugin root to an absolute $NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} on Claude Code, $PLUGIN_ROOT on Codex when set, otherwise the absolute path this skill was attached from (skills/schedule/SKILL.md). Run every command below through "$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.

1. Is there a site at all?

No $NS/ — stop and point at Setup (/nightshift:setup on Claude Code, or ask Nightshift to set up on Codex). Nothing below is meaningful without it.

Read $NS/work-mode. Artifact mode is a persistent folder, not a Git repository; the scheduled agent still starts in that work target. A malformed mode or a scratch work target is a refuse — fix it with Setup before installing a job. In artifact mode, refuse to print or install a job when $NS/receipts exists but is not a usable directory. If $NS/work-mode is missing and Setup would propose artifact, refuse to print or install a job; a scheduled start will refuse to arm. If the work target cannot be resolved, refuse to print or install a job; a scheduled start will refuse to arm.

2. Is there work queued?

A scheduled start works the punch list it finds and promotes nothing — parked work orders and drafting-table entries stay exactly where they are. So an empty ## Items means the scheduled run does nothing at all, and this is the moment to fix that, not 4am.

Count the open - [ ] in $NS/punch-list.md:

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.

schedule is a skill published in the GitHub repository orwa-mahmoud/nightshift (56 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,340 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
