What it does

Overnight Development is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Automates software development overnight using git hooks to enforce test-driven Use when appropriate context detected. Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose.

Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `references/errors.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Test-driven development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Appropriate context detected
  • With relevant phrases based on skill purpose

Example prompts

  • “Use the overnight-development skill to automate software development overnight using git hooks to enforce test-driven Use when appropriate context…”
  • “/overnight-development”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(general:*), Bash(util:*)

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify skill activation trigger and context
  2. Gather required inputs and parameters
  3. Execute skill workflow systematically
  4. Validate outputs meet requirements
  5. Handle errors and edge cases appropriately
  6. Provide clear results and next steps

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(general:*)
    • Bash(util:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Overnight Development loads about 436 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 151 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~436
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.8k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
