How does the skill ensure code quality?

It uses Git hooks to block any commits that fail your test suite, forcing Claude to iterate on the code until all tests pass and quality standards are met.

What testing frameworks are supported?

The skill is framework-agnostic and can be configured for any environment, including popular tools like Jest for JavaScript and Pytest for Python.

Do I need to configure Git hooks manually?

No, the skill includes an `/overnight-setup` command that automatically installs and configures the necessary pre-commit and commit-msg hooks for you.

How can I monitor Claude's progress during an overnight session?

The skill generates a `.overnight-dev-log.txt` file and includes a progress-tracker script to view exactly what Claude has built and fixed in real-time.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates software development cycles using Git hooks and Test-Driven Development (TDD) to build, refactor, and fix code autonomously.

About

The Overnight Development skill transforms Claude into an autonomous engineering partner capable of handling long-running tasks while you are away. By leveraging a strict Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow enforced through Git hooks, this skill ensures that all new features, bug fixes, or refactoring efforts meet your project's quality standards before being committed. It manages the entire development lifecycle—from writing failing tests to iterative debugging—providing you with a clean commit history and production-ready code by the time you start your next workday.

Key Features

Generates standardized, conventional commit messages for all changes
Supports multi-language environments including Node.js (Jest) and Python (Pytest)
Automates the debugging cycle by analyzing test failures and applying fixes
3 GitHub stars
Enforces strict TDD workflows using automated pre-commit Git hooks
Provides real-time progress tracking and activity logging for long sessions

Use Cases

Autonomous bug fixing by reproducing issues through tests and iterating until resolved
Developing new features or API endpoints with high test coverage during downtime
Refactoring architectural layers or database patterns without risking regressions
