What it does
Nighttime Mode is an agent skill from grandamenium/cortextos. Autonomous overnight orchestration mode. Active outside day hours. Dispatch and monitor deep work across agents while user sleeps. Internal building only — no external actions.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Focus and ADHD support. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Focus and ADHD support
Example prompts
- “/nighttime-mode”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f93838. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Nighttime Mode loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Nighttime Mode
Orchestrate deep work across agents while the user sleeps. Dispatch tasks, monitor progress, prepare morning briefing.
Hard Guardrails — NEVER Cross
- No external communications — No emails, messages, posts, or DMs sent to anyone outside the system
- No purchases or transactions — No buying, no transfers, no commitments
- No permanent deletes — All actions must be reversible
- No production deploys — Prepare PRs, don't merge; build assets, don't publish
- No commitments on user's behalf — No promises, deadlines, or agreements
- No approval creation at night — Queue approval requests for morning; do not create them at night
When in doubt: Document it, present in morning review.
What TO Do Overnight
| Category | Examples | Assign to |
|---|---|---|
| Research | Market analysis, competitor research, trend analysis | research agents |
| Building | Code on feature branches, scripts, tools | dev agents |
| Content drafts | Scripts, outlines, social copy (drafts only) | content agents |
| Analysis | Data processing, metrics review, document processing | analyst agents |
| Organization | File organization, task grooming, template creation | any appropriate agent |
| Self-improvement | Skill development, workflow optimization | orchestrator |
Quick Start Loop
1. CHECK: cortextos bus list-tasks --status in_progress
→ Any overnight tasks dispatched?
2. IF tasks are running:
a. Check agent heartbeats: cortextos bus read-all-heartbeats
b. Check inbox for completion reports: cortextos bus check-inbox
c. Process completions, dispatch next tasks if queue has more
d. GOTO step 1
3. IF no tasks pending:
a. Begin preparing morning briefing data
b. Update heartbeat: cortextos bus update-heartbeat "preparing morning briefing"Overnight Orchestration Protocol
Step 1: Check approved queue
cortextos bus list-tasks --status in_progress
cortextos bus read-all-heartbeatsStep 2: Monitor agent progress
# Check heartbeats regularly (every ~1h)
cortextos bus read-all-heartbeats
# Check inbox for completion reports
cortextos bus check-inboxStep 3: Process completions
When an agent reports task completion:
# 1. Complete the task in cortextOS
cortextos bus complete-task "$TASK_ID" --result "<what was produced>"
# 2. Log the event
cortextos bus log-event task task_completed info --meta '{"task_id":"'$TASK_ID'","agent":"<completing_agent>"}'
# 3. Write to memory
TODAY=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d)
echo "COMPLETED: $TASK_ID - <description> (by <agent>)" >> "memory/$TODAY.md"
# 4. Dispatch next task if queue has more
cortextos bus list-tasks --status pendingStep 4: Handle blockers
When an agent reports a blocker:
# 1. Log the blocker
TODAY=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d)
echo "BLOCKED: $TASK_ID - <reason> (agent: <name>)" >> "memory/$TODAY.md"
# 2. Try to unblock if possible (provide info, reassign)
cortextos bus send-message <agent> normal '<unblocking info or reassignment>'
# 3. If cannot unblock, queue for morning review
echo "MORNING REVIEW NEEDED: Blocker - $TASK_ID - <reason>" >> "memory/$TODAY.md"Heartbeat During Nighttime
Update regularly to show overnight activity:
cortextos bus update-heartbeat "nighttime mode - X/Y tasks complete, monitoring agents"Before Morning: Prepare Briefing Data
Before the morning review cron fires, ensure this data is ready in today's memory:
- What was completed (by which agent, key deliverables with file paths)
- What needs user review or decision
- Blockers discovered that need morning attention
- Recommended priorities for today
TODAY=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d)
cat >> "memory/$TODAY.md" << MEMEOF
## Overnight Summary - $(date -u +%H:%M:%S)
### Completed
- [task] by [agent] -- [deliverable at path/]
- [task] by [agent] -- [deliverable at path/]
### Blocked (needs morning attention)
- [task] -- [reason]
### Needs User Review
- [item needing decision]
### Agent Status at Morning
[list each agent: status, last heartbeat]
MEMEOF
cortextos bus update-heartbeat "morning briefing data ready - overnight complete"Event Logging
# Starting nighttime mode
cortextos bus log-event action nighttime_mode_start info --meta '{"agent":"'$CTX_AGENT_NAME'"}'
# Task completions
cortextos bus log-event task task_completed info --meta '{"task_id":"<id>","agent":"<completing_agent>"}'
# Morning ready
cortextos bus log-event action morning_briefing_ready info --meta '{"tasks_completed":"X","tasks_blocked":"Y"}'Philosophy
Lower risk, higher autonomy. No external actions — internal building only.
The night is for making the user's next day easier. Dispatch, monitor, and coordinate — never act externally without them. The orchestrator's job overnight is to keep agents productive and prepare a clear morning briefing.
This is the single source of truth for nighttime mode.
