nightshift | 🌙 Night Shift | Night Shift golem |

});When to Notify
DO notify:
- Task complete (commit, PR, feature done)
- Waiting for input (blocked, need decision)
- CLAUDE_COUNTER hits 0 (still working)
- Errors or failures
DON'T notify:
- Routine progress (reading files)
- Every small step
- Questions (use AskUserQuestion instead)
Tips
- Title: 2-4 words max
- Body: 1 sentence max
- Escaping: The
notifyCLI handles special chars automatically - High priority: Only use for urgent issues needing immediate attention
Changelog entries are derived from eval runs and skill version updates. Full cascading changelog (Phase 4D) coming soon.
