Get The Hermes Night-Shift Prompt Pack

Everyone sells the dream of "AI that works while you sleep" — most of those overnight demos either fake the result or fall apart around 2am. This is the honest version: 11 copy-paste prompts that turn Claude Code into Hermes, an overnight agent that finishes real work by sunrise, plus the exact setup that makes it safe to leave running and the three places it still breaks. Inside: the two ways to actually run it overnight (Routines — cloud, scheduled, stays on your normal subscription; vs claude -p + cron — local and custom, but on the metered credit pool after the June 15 2026 billing change, while interactive Claude Code stays unaffected); the harness (Prompt 1 The Mission Brief that scopes it and lives in CLAUDE.md so it survives context compaction; Prompt 2 The Guardrails — a deny/allow settings file plus a PreToolUse hook; Prompt 3 The Self-Check — re-read, run the test, quote the proof, or mark it BLOCKED not done); the seven jobs that actually work overnight (inbox triage that drafts but never sends, the codebase janitor for low-risk hygiene, the PR reviewer that never merges, the ranked morning digest, the competitor scan that says "no change" instead of padding, content drafts tagged [VERIFY], and "Tomorrow's First Move" that hands you a decision not a pile of output); and Prompt 11 The Standup Report — DONE with evidence, BLOCKED with the question, SKIPPED with why. Plus the three breaks (cost, trust, scope drift) and the fix for each. The whole game: scope it tight, cap it hard, make it prove its work — and stay the engineer who reads the morning report.
