Start dekko's background daemon before a session that will run many bare `dekko` CLI commands via Bash (not the MCP tools) against a large or medium repo. Trigger when you're about to run several dekko CLI invocations in a row on the same repo — a long refactor loop, a batch of query/search/outline calls, or a hook/script context — and want to avoid each one reparsing map.json from scratch.

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

# Warming up repeated `dekko` CLI calls with the daemon

`dekko daemon start` spawns a small per-repo background process that
keeps a warm, in-memory map index across CLI invocations, instead of
each one reloading and re-indexing `map.json` from disk. It only
matters for the **bare CLI path** (commands run via Bash) — if you're
calling the MCP tools (`mcp__dekko__*`) instead, skip this: the MCP
server already keeps its own warm per-process cache
(`Context.index_cache`) independently, by design, so nothing here
applies there.

## When to start it

```sh
dekko daemon start        # spawns it, returns immediately
```

Worth doing at the start of a Bash-CLI-heavy stretch of work — a
refactor loop running `query`/`affected`/`workset` repeatedly, a batch
of `outline`/`search` calls while orienting in a large repo, or
scripted/hook invocations. Skip it for a one-off `dekko map` or a
single query; the daemon adds spin-up overhead that isn't worth it for
one call. On a small repo (fast reload already), it's rarely worth
the trouble either way.

Read-only subcommands route through it transparently once running
(`query`, `search`, `workset`, `diff`, `affected`, `outline`,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aahlijia/dekko/dekko-daemon@sha256:05117d9412b64d70

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260922.4966520, 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.
