Automated overnight task planning and execution engine for EverClaw.

  • Works in 3 steps: Cron Job (Every Night at 9:30 PM CST) → Action List Generation → Human Review (Before 10 PM)
  • Planning overnight autonomous work
  • SKILL.md covers How It Works, Night Shift Execution, Cron Job Setup and Output Format, plus 4 more sections

What it does

Night Shift is an agent skill from profbernardoj/everclaw-community-branches. Automated overnight task planning and execution engine for EverClaw. Generates prioritized action lists at 9:30 PM CST for the 10 PM–6 AM window, requires human approval before execution, enforces safety boundaries on allowed task types, and updates Mission Control dashboard at shift end. Use when planning overnight autonomous work, configuring night shift cron jobs, reviewing morning progress reports, or setting task approval policies.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Planning and Scheduled and recurring tasks. The repository describes itself as: Decentralized AI inference for OpenClaw agents. Powered by Morpheus AI. Stake MOR, access Kimi K2.5 + 10 models, never run out of inference. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning overnight autonomous work
  • Configuring night shift cron jobs
  • Reviewing morning progress reports
  • Setting task approval policies

Example prompts

  • “/night-shift”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Cron Job (Every Night at 9:30 PM CST)
  2. Action List Generation
  3. Human Review (Before 10 PM)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0b30b36. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Night Shift loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 434 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Night Shift Skill

Purpose: Generate actionable overnight tasks based on the day's projects and objectives.


How It Works

1. Cron Job (Every Night at 9:30 PM CST)
  • Triggers the night shift planning process
  • Reviews the day's context (projects, objectives, conversations)
  • Generates a prioritized list of actions for the 10 PM - 6 AM window
2. Action List Generation

The night shift action list should include:

  • Tasks that can be completed autonomously
  • Research tasks
  • Content creation
  • Code/documentation work
  • Prep for the next day
3. Human Review (Before 10 PM)
  • List is presented to the user for approval
  • User can approve, modify, or reject tasks
  • Only approved tasks are executed during night shift

Night Shift Execution

Time Window: 10:00 PM - 6:00 AM CST
Task Types Approved for Night Shift:
  1. Research — Web searches, documentation review, competitive analysis
  2. Content Creation — Writing drafts, marketing copy, documentation
  3. Code Tasks — Non-breaking changes, refactoring, documentation
  4. Prep Work — Scheduling cron jobs, preparing agendas, organizing files
  5. Monitoring — Watching for PR reviews, checking discussion responses
Task Types NOT Approved for Night Shift:
  1. Breaking Changes — Any code that could break production
  2. External Communications — Sending emails, tweets, DMs
  3. Financial Transactions — Any money-moving actions
  4. Deletions — Deleting files, branches, or data
  5. Security-Sensitive — Key rotations, permission changes

Cron Job Setup

bash
# Night Shift Planning Cron
# Runs every night at 9:30 PM CST
# Generates action list for the user to review before 10 PM

Setup Instructions

To enable Night Shift:

  1. Create the cron job:
bash
# Add to crontab
30 21 * * * /path/to/night-shift-planner.sh
  1. Or use OpenClaw's cron system:
bash
openclaw cron add --name "Night Shift Planning" --schedule "30 21 * * *" --message "Generate night shift action plan"

Example Use Cases

Example 1: Marketing Campaign Prep

Day shift: Discuss viral narratives for EverClaw flavors Night shift: Write social media thread templates for each flavor

Show full SKILL.md (173 more words)Show less
Example 2: Code Documentation

Day shift: Review Docker PR for EverClaw Night shift: Write comprehensive README updates

Example 3: Research Tasks

Day shift: Discuss EverClaw accelerator concept Night shift: Research existing accelerators, compile comparison table


End of Night Shift: Mission Control Update

At 6:00 AM CST, before ending the night shift:

  1. Run the Mission Control dashboard data generator:

    bash
    cd ~/.openclaw/workspace && node mission-control/generate-data.mjs
  2. This updates mission-control/dashboard-data.json and embeds data into index.html

  3. The dashboard includes:

    • Completed tasks from memory files
    • Updated goal progress
    • Activity feed with night shift actions
  4. The user can review the dashboard at file://~/.openclaw/workspace/mission-control/index.html

This gives the user a rich UI view of overnight progress in addition to the Signal summary.


Notes

  • Night shift is optional — the user must approve before execution
  • Tasks that require external communication are never automated
  • All night shift actions are logged and reported in the morning
  • If the user doesn't respond by 10 PM, night shift is cancelled by default
  • Mission Control dashboard is updated at end of night shift (6 AM)
