+# Stop
 
-Resolve the installed plugin root to an absolute `$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT` — `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}`
-on Claude Code, `$PLUGIN_ROOT` on Codex when set, otherwise the absolute path this skill was
-attached from (`skills/stop/SKILL.md`). Run every command below through
-`"$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/runtime/ns"` — native Windows: `& "$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT\runtime\windows\ns.ps1"`
-in the PowerShell tool, same verbs — which resolves the host and the workspace; `ns help` lists the
-verbs, and `ns bind` prints the six resolved facts (`TASK_ROOT`, `NIGHTSHIFT_WORKSPACE`, `NS`,
-`NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT`, `HOST`, `SOURCE`); `$NS` below is that `NS`. Never a bare relative path: the working
-directory persists between calls. Each `$NS/...` path below is where the current layout keeps that file;
-`ns path <key>` prints where this workspace keeps it, and `ns path --list` names every key.
-
-Run the trusted helper. Do not write `$NS/STOP` by hand, do not delete `$NS/run/.shift-armed`, and do
-not kill `$NS/run/.watchman` yourself — the helper performs the safe teardown:
-
-```bash
-"$NIGHTSHIFT_PLUGIN_ROOT/runtime/ns" stop-shift
-```
-
-The helper writes `$NS/STOP` with a reason and UTC timestamp, appends `stopped by owner` to
-`$NS/run/shift-log.md`, and kills only a verified live Nightshift watchman. It does not remove
-`$NS/run/.shift-armed`. It drops `$NS/run/.shift-session` so the same conversation is not a second
-agent on the next Start. Open boxes stay open as the record. Hardhat stays until clock-out writes
-`$NS/run/.ended`. Reset is the manual escape. The deadline, punch list, rules, parking lot, work
-orders, receipts, archives, research, opportunities, and shift history stay on disk. Do not wait
-for a later Stop event to write the marker — the helper writes it now.
-
-Report the helper's `open-items` count and that the deadline was preserved. A second Stop is safe.
-
-Resume later with Start (`/nightshift:start` on Claude Code, or ask Nightshift to start on Codex).
-Start clears the pause markers and begins a new ownership lease. A future preserved deadline
-remains the deadline. An expired preserved deadline is not silently renewed: write a new UNIX epoch
-to `$NS/run/deadline`, or run Reset then Start.
-
-This works from the bound conversation, from a helper conversation, and when a failed clock-out left a recovery nonce that still fences the recorded conversation.
-
-**Panic form (does not disarm immediately):** from any POSIX terminal,
-`touch "$NS/STOP"`. In native Windows PowerShell, run
-`New-Item -ItemType File -Force "$NS\STOP"`. That marker is honored at the next Stop event or
-watchman wake. Prefer the helper when the model is stuck — it does not wait for that event.
+Read the [workflow](../nightshift/references/workflow.md). Stop further implementation in this
+conversation immediately. When state belongs to these skills and passes the mutation checks,
+create STOP and record mode paused, current item, remaining work, and exact next action; write a
+closing receipt from available evidence. With no state access, return a continuation note for
+the owner to save. This is a request respected by these skills, not an operating-system kill or
+an enforced stop for other conversations. Do not signal unrelated processes or touch full-plugin
+markers. Leave incomplete boxes open and existing work intact.
