How does Overnight Dev ensure code quality?

It uses pre-commit Git hooks to block all commits until the specified test suite passes, ensuring no broken or untested code enters the version history.

What happens if Claude gets stuck in a loop?

The skill logs all attempts and failures in a tracking file (.overnight-dev-log.txt), allowing the developer to review Claude's reasoning and debug the session the next morning.

Does it work with any programming language?

Yes, it is language-agnostic. You can configure it for any language by specifying the appropriate test and lint commands in the integration settings.

Can I use it for existing bug fixing?

Absolutely. By providing a failing test case that reproduces the bug, Claude will iterate autonomously until the fix is found and all tests return green.

Is it safe to run on production branches?

While it enforces tests, it is best practice to run this on feature or refactor branches, allowing you to review the autonomous changes before merging into production.

Security & Testing

Automates autonomous software development cycles using Git hooks to strictly enforce test-driven development (TDD).

About

The Overnight Dev skill enables Claude to work autonomously on complex coding tasks like building new features, refactoring legacy code, or fixing persistent bugs while the developer is away. By leveraging Git hooks to block commits until all tests pass, it ensures a rigorous TDD workflow that results in production-ready, high-quality code. This skill is ideal for teams needing to accelerate development cycles without sacrificing code integrity, providing a detailed log of activity and successful commits for review the next morning.

Key Features

Automated Git hook integration to enforce passing tests
Session progress tracking with detailed activity logs
3 GitHub stars
Autonomous TDD workflow for features and refactoring
Intelligent debugging based on real-time test failure feedback
Support for multiple testing frameworks like Jest and Pytest

Use Cases

Fixing persistent bugs by automatically iterating on code until edge cases pass
Developing complex features with high test coverage requirements overnight
Performing large-scale code refactoring with regression safety
