Remote permission relay for unattended runs: risk-classify each tool call, auto-allow reads, send risky calls to your phone via Telegram or Discord for a tap, hard-deny destructive ones. Use when the user wants to approve from phone, remote YOLO, or run overnight with a safety leash.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# $ccc-nightwatch — remote permission relay

**CC Commander** · $ccc-nightwatch · approve or deny an unattended session's risky tool calls from your phone, with destructive calls blocked outright.

A permission hook intercepts tool calls during an unattended run (`$ccc-night-mode`, a `/loop`), scores each against the risk matrix, and either auto-allows it, asks you on Telegram or Discord, or hard-blocks it. Your tap routes back into the session and Claude continues. Full design (hook placement, diagram, examples, limits): [references/relay-design.md](references/relay-design.md).

## When to use / when not to

- Use for long unattended runs where some writes need a human yes but nobody is at the terminal.
- Do not use for short interactive sessions (under about 30 minutes) or single-file fixes; watch the terminal instead.
- Do not use for ideation work; Nightwatch is for execution.
- For outbound status (what shipped) rather than inbound approvals, use `$ccc-broadcast`.

## Risk matrix

| Risk | Examples | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 Auto-allow | Read, Glob, Grep, LS, `cat`, `git status`, `git log` | Proceed silently; logged |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add kevinzai/commander/ccc-nightwatch@sha256:bf2b95449decd183

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.fbe187d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
