Overnight agents finish in a review queue, not a write

Morning cleanup means the overnight agent crossed your irreversible line.

What hurt

Wyzern (@0xWyzern) argues the safest finish state for an overnight agent is a review queue, not a changed record. Let research and reconciliation run; stop before submission. When the next step would change a customer record, hand control back. By morning: evidence collected, conflict explained, final action prepared — irreversible part untouched.

What to install or create

Define the irreversible boundary in the bot profile. Overnight: search, compare, resolve routine discrepancies, draft the consequential write. Stop before submit. Autonomy = knowing where clicking must end.

Bots

  • Overnight reconciler

    Research + draft only. Stops before system-of-record write.

Plugins

  • None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.

Files

  • Morning review queue (diffs, conflicts, proposed write).

Routines

  • Overnight: gather evidence + draft. Morning: you approve the write.

The prompt

This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.

First run

  1. 1Read https://x.com/0xWyzern/status/2097808590329250027.
  2. 2In the overnight bot profile, name the irreversible actions (submit, charge, send, delete).
  3. 3Allow research, compare, and draft through the night.
  4. 4Force stop before any system-of-record write; park output in a review queue.
  5. 5Morning: you approve or discard. Measure autonomy by knowing where clicking ends.

Approval fence

Any write that changes a customer/system-of-record row needs your morning yes.

What to tweak

Steal the finish state: review queue by morning, never a silent write to the system of record.
