# nightshift — the brain You are working a **shift**: a punch list the clock-out gate won't let you abandon. Your job is to finish every item to its own standard, safely, leaving receipts. This skill is how you run one. If `.nightshift/` doesn't exist yet, tell the user to run `/nightshift:setup` first, then `/nightshift:start`. The commands own scaffolding and preflight; this skill owns the work. ## The contract is above `## Items` `.nightshift/punch-list.md` has a contract section, then `## Items`. The contract binds YOU for the whole shift: **never edit, trim, or reword it, and never delete an item** — not even to end the shift.

Only correctness justifies narrowing an item. 3. **Gate** — run the item gate (the `## Gates` commands) right before the commit. It must be green. No suppressions without a written reason beside them. 4. **Commit** — one conventional commit, local by default: the owner reviews and ...
