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