Stop babysitting agents. Give them shared understanding.
The Nightmanager Loop clarifies intent, turns it into local specs and vertical TODOs, then delegates one ready slice for AFK implementation. You come back to validated work and, when possible, a PR for human review.
The Nightmanager Loop
grill-me → to-prd → to-issues → /nightmanager
Use grill-me to interrogate a feature, bug, or plan until hidden requirements, risks, and trade-offs are surfaced.
Use to-prd to turn the clarified conversation into a concrete local spec with goals, acceptance criteria, tests, and risks.
Use to-issues to break the spec into small, vertical local TODOs that are safe for one focused implementation pass.
Run /nightmanager to select one ready TODO, delegate through subagents, validate the change, and prepare reviewable output.
Subagents inside the loop
Focused execution roles preserve main-session context after the spec is clear
Maps the codebase for a ready slice so implementation starts from shared context instead of guesswork.
Analyzes ambiguity, risks, and trade-offs when the slice needs deeper reasoning before code changes.
Makes the smallest viable change for one ready TODO and reports concrete verification evidence.
Coordinates finder, oracle, and worker with handoff artifacts so each step stays auditable.
Reviewable AFK implementation
Nightmanager works from local specs and ready TODOs: one slice at a time, with validation and handoff evidence. Humans review PRs, and Nightmanager does not merge or deploy automatically.
