Family-floor first
Protected time wins over any meeting, deadline, or opportunity. Your floor isn't a perk. It's the foundation under everything else.
family-floorA 1-person business OS for working parents building on the side. Family-floor first. Free-first. Revenue-mapped. A business coach baked into your AI, MIT licensed.
Most AI tools assume you want to do more, faster. NightShiftOS assumes you want to do the right things, at the right cost, on a floor that protects your evenings and weekends.
You're building a consultancy, a product, an audience, or a course alongside a full-time job.
You have a partner, kids, or both. Evenings and weekends are not negotiable.
You can't afford to lose hours to admin, tool-shopping, or scaling before you have something to scale.
You want an AI that asks the question first, not one that hands you a generic plan.
The OS asks who you are and what you protect. Then it customizes itself.
Forty-two skills, eight categories, six principles. One coherent posture across sales, marketing, brand, product, ops, and finance.
Not best-practices borrowed from a coaching book. Six rules that compound across a year of side-business work.
Protected time wins over any meeting, deadline, or opportunity. Your floor isn't a perk. It's the foundation under everything else.
family-floorEvery paid recommendation requires a documented free attempt. Sheets and free tiers come first. You climb the ladder only when the rung below actually breaks.
free-first-checkerEvery task tagged. Direct revenue, leverage, admin, or distraction. If $$$ + $$ slips under sixty percent, the coach flags it.
revenue-mapperExpansion checked against your stated comfort, not default ambition. Your day job is your runway, not your constraint. The OS respects that.
risk-gaugeQuestions before answers. Five to seven open questions, one at a time. You decide. The OS holds you to your own bar.
business-coachFree → $20/mo → $50/mo → custom. Each rung has a test. You climb when you've earned the climb, not before.
boring-stackOne for Day 1. One for every week. One for after a corpus of writing exists. One for end of every day. The other 39 skills get pulled in as you need them.
Day 1
Rewrites your CLAUDE.md from your assessment answers. Populates voice rules, locks in your protected time, activates the subset of skills that match your stage. The OS makes itself yours in five minutes.
/customize-from-assessment
Every week
Pulls last week's revenue mix, drift on your floor, what shipped, what slipped. Names the move for next week before you spin up Monday. The recurring ritual that keeps the business honest.
/weekly-brief
After a corpus exists
Extracts your voice patterns from 3-5 chunks of real writing. Sentence rhythm, signature openers, vocabulary tells, banned-phrase candidates. Higher fidelity than self-report. Voice rules survive AI drift.
/capture-voice
Every day, end of day
Scans the last 24h of work. Extracts corrections you made, surfaces friction, names patterns. Updates memory, proposes diffs to CLAUDE.md and skills. The OS gets smarter than it was yesterday.
/self-improve
Take the assessment, clone the plugin, run one slash command. Day 1 closes with /weekly-brief shaping your first week.
Twelve sections, about twelve minutes. Runs entirely in your browser. The output stays on your device.
# Open in any browser open nightshift.jaredlangley.cc
One git clone into Claude Code's plugin directory. Open in any working folder and it auto-loads.
git clone https://github.com/jaredlangleycc/ nightshift-os \ ~/.claude/plugins/nightshift-os
Paste your assessment-output.md. The OS rewrites CLAUDE.md, generates your voice rules, and activates the skills that fit your stage.
/customize-from-assessment # → profile card · voice rules · skills
Each skill is a small, opinionated workflow. The assessment activates the subset that fits your stage and deactivates the rest, so your context stays lean.
Run the build script against your assessment and you get a single NIGHTSHIFT-RULES.md. Paste it into any AI tool with a system-prompt slot. Voice, family-floor, principles, archetype, all in one file.
./scripts/build-universal-rules.sh \ path/to/assessment-output.md # → NIGHTSHIFT-RULES.md
You're not building a business to lose your kids, your partner, your health, or yourself. NightShiftOS treats your protected time as the floor under everything else. Every skill defaults to free tools. Every recommendation gets revenue-tagged. Every expansion gets risk-checked against the comfort you stated. Your AI talks like you, respects your protected time, and asks questions before answering.
