SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It reduces downtime when you are away by driving an end-to-end autonomous coding session that can scan the project, confirm scope, and produce a structured handoff summary when you return.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Kickoff interview before you leave: gathers primary goal, availability window, off-limits scope, budget cap (when applicable), side-project bar, and confirms a layered plan (Primary, Backlog, Stretch).
  • Autonomous execution with strict safety rules: runs work without any user prompts during the autonomous phase, avoids remote pushes, prevents destructive git operations, honors off-limits paths, and enforces budget caps.
  • Session logging and resumable continuations: writes an ALL-NIGHTER session log with TL;DR, decisions, findings, cost ledger, and review checklist; schedules safety-net wake-ups and continues across invocations.

Quick Start

Invoke the skill explicitly with /all-nighter and answer the kickoff prompts to start an overnight autonomous coding session with an agreed plan and guardrails.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an autonomous coding session to run while I am away?▼

You set up an autonomous coding session by completing an interactive kickoff interview to define your primary goal, availability window, off-limits scope, and budget caps before the non-interactive execution phase begins safely.

What are the safety guardrails for running developer productivity automation overnight?▼

Developer productivity automation safety guardrails include preventing remote pushes, blocking destructive git operations, avoiding user prompts, enforcing budget caps, and restricting access to off-limits paths during execution.

Can I burn down backlog items during an autonomous coding session?▼

Yes, you can burn down backlog items during an autonomous coding session by confirming a layered plan during kickoff that includes Primary, Backlog, and Stretch goals alongside your main implementation objective.

How does session logging work for unattended git workflow automation?▼

Session logging for unattended git workflow automation writes a structured log containing a TL;DR, decisions, findings, cost ledger, and review checklist to provide an arrival handoff summary when you return.

Does autonomous coding work with local commits without pushing to remote repositories?▼

Yes, autonomous coding enforces atomic local commits and explicitly prohibits remote pushes to ensure all repository-wide work remains safely local and reversible during your absence.

What happens if a scheduled continuation wake-up fails during overnight automation?▼

Scheduled continuation wake-ups trigger session resumption across invocations by utilizing structured logs, maintaining strict safety constraints without requiring user prompts throughout the autonomous execution phase.
