Understand every part of the shift

Install Nightshift, write durable work, configure boundaries, recover sessions, and troubleshoot from authoritative product behavior.

Start your first Nightshift

Set up Nightshift, write one bounded task, run it attended, and review the local receipt.

Install the Nightshift plugin for Codex or Claude Code and open the project you want it to change.

Understand the durable contract, one-item loop, gates, decisions, recovery, and morning handoff.

Define complete, verifiable engineering outcomes that survive long agent runs and handoffs.

Choose verification gates and opt-in mechanical rules for an unattended engineering shift.

See how Nightshift revives a dead coding-agent session without losing the approved work contract.

Choose the right Nightshift command for setup, execution, status, quality work, diagnosis, stopping, and archiving.

Set deadlines, stalls, command rules, path protections, identity expectations, and question-tool behavior.

Understand Nightshift support across Codex, Claude Code, macOS, Linux, native Windows, WSL, and remote environments.

Keep Nightshift’s host, project, state, and watchman on the same side of a remote environment boundary.

Diagnose setup, gates, state, process leases, watchman behavior, and stop conditions without making the situation worse.

Verify permissions, gates, stop behavior, recovery, Git identity, and review expectations before leaving a shift unattended.
