Nonstop, two files that keep Claude Code working while you sleep

I use Claude Code for big tasks overnight maybe twice a week. About 70% of the time I come back to nothing. It stopped in the first few minutes because it had a question. Or hit a permission error on step 2 of 47 and just sat there. All night.

nonstop is my fix. Two files, no dependencies.

Before you walk away, /nonstop makes Claude do a pre-flight. It thinks through the whole task, asks every question it might have, and you approve or deny anything destructive (rm -rf, force pushes, posting PRs, calling paid APIs). All the "would block me at 3am" stuff gets resolved while you're still at the keyboard.

Then a stop hook keeps it from quitting. If it gets stuck: try to solve it, try to work around it, or mark it blocked and move on to the next thing. No spinning.

There are other tools for this (Ralph is a ~2k line bash orchestrator that wraps the CLI, taskmaster uses completion tokens). nonstop is deliberately minimal. Skill file + shell script. Felt like the right tradeoff for something I want to trust overnight.
