Verify that Nightshift's required system dependencies (qsv, flock, jq) are installed and on PATH. Use when the user invokes /nightshift:doctor.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
Based on SOC occupation classification
Add a task definition to an existing Nightshift shift, registering it in manager.md and adding a status column to table.csv. Use when the user invokes /nightshift:add-task.
Archive a Nightshift shift by moving its directory to .nightshift/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-<name>/. Use when the user invokes /nightshift:archive.
Create a new Nightshift shift — a structured unit of batch agent work — with manager.md and an empty table.csv. Use when the user invokes /nightshift:create.
Execute one Nightshift task on one item, self-validate, retry on failure, and emit a structured result. Invoked by manager via `claude -p` subprocess; runs in a fresh top-level Claude Code session and inherits all user-configured MCPs.
Start or resume execution of a Nightshift shift by forking into the manager subagent. Use when the user invokes /nightshift:start.
Run a single Nightshift task on a single table item for testing — without modifying table.csv or manager.md. Spawns a claude -p subprocess of /nightshift:do-task with --read-only. Use when the user invokes /nightshift:test-task.

Check whether Nightshift's required system dependencies are installed.
Run the dependency probes:
{
printf 'qsv: '
if command -v qsv >/dev/null 2>&1; then qsv --version 2>/dev/null | head -1; else echo MISSING; fi
printf 'flock: '
if command -v flock >/dev/null 2>&1; then flock --version 2>/dev/null | head -1; else echo MISSING; fi
printf 'jq: '
if command -v jq >/dev/null 2>&1; then jq --version 2>/dev/null; else echo MISSING; fi
}
For each dependency, report status using the pre-flight output above:
/nightshift:create <shift-name> to start a shift."qsv missing → brew install qsv (or download from https://github.com/dathere/qsv/releases for non-Homebrew platforms)flock missing → brew install flock (or use the version bundled with util-linux on Linux)jq missing → brew install jq (or see https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)/nightshift:doctor."
