An overnight Claude agent that reviews and merges PRs for $6 a day

Mr. Buzzoni@Mr_Buzzoni

I HAVEN'T OPENED CLAUDE AT MIDNIGHT SINCE I BUILT THIS FOLDER

I used to wake up and find out what broke overnight

-> now the receipts are already there. dated, graded, waiting on my review

what sits inside the folder that took that shift:

• the contract
> CONTRACT.md - the shift rules, committed
> contract.local.md - my overrides, gitignored

• the harness (.claude/loops/)
> settings.json - spend caps and timeouts. set once
> schedule.yml - 05:00, pr-hunter. cron fires it, not me
> rubrics/ - code.md reviews merges, writing.md checks voice, safety.md says what not to touch
> pr-hunter/ - plan.md runs wake, read, act, verify
> t.co/VUDfqGE1Fp does the work. t.co/3uqBEehPSh is the gate to merge
> tools.allow - what it may call, and nothing else

• the state
> receipts/ - one folder per shift. 17 shifts today
> 5,382 receipts kept. none of them edited
> trace.log - what happened, line by line
> checkpoint.json - resumes exactly where it stopped
> budget.json - $6.10 spent of a $40 day

• the edges
> t.co/agzjvw6VbF - the panic file. never used
> .mcp.json - the tools it's allowed near
> alerts.yml - who gets paged when a loop stops

2 loops. 3 rubrics. 8 months in service. 0 incidents

nothing here is clever. every file exists because a run went sideways once

I wrote the rule down instead of trying to remember it

$6 a day for a shift I used to work at 1am

the model doesn't wake. the folder does
