# Overnight Development
## Overview
This skill automates software development overnight by leveraging Git hooks to enforce test-driven development (TDD). It ensures that all code changes are fully tested and meet specified quality standards before being committed.
## Prerequisites
- Access to project files in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/
- Required tools and dependencies installed
- Understanding of skill functionality
- Permissions for file operations
## Instructions
1. Identify skill activation trigger and context
2. Gather required inputs and parameters
3. Execute skill workflow systematically
4. Validate outputs meet requirements
5. Handle errors and edge cases appropriately
6. Provide clear results and next steps
## Output
- Primary deliverables based on skill purpose
- Status indicators and success metrics
- Generated files or configurations
- Reports and summaries as applicable
- Recommendations for follow-up actions
## Error Handling
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
## Resources
- Official documentation for related tools
- Best practices guides
- Example use cases and templates
