# 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
