Continuous autonomous operation mode. Keeps campaigns running 24/7 by chaining Claude Code sessions via RemoteTrigger. Each session picks up from the campaign's continuation state, works until context runs low or the phase completes, then schedules the next session. Auto-stops on campaign completion or budget exhaustion. The thing that makes Citadel run overnight.
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
# /daemon -- Continuous Autonomous Operation Architecture, daemon.json field reference, and rationale: docs/DAEMON.md. ## Orientation **Use when:** running campaigns overnight or unattended -- chains sessions automatically until a ceiling or budget is hit. **Don't use when:** a single autonomous session is enough (use /archon); you want manual control between cycles (use /loop). ## Default execution path (READ FIRST) **`/daemon start` does NOT call `RemoteTrigger` by default.** The local runner is the default. Only pass `--remote` to use Anthropic's routine system, and only after explicit user confirmation. **Why:** `RemoteTrigger` counts against the account-wide **15 routine runs / 24h** cap. A single overnight run can exhaust the quota and pause every other routine on the account (including unrelated ones). See [docs/ROUTINE-QUOTA.md](../../docs/ROUTINE-QUOTA.md). ### Default flow — `/daemon start` (no `--remote` flag) 1. Do Steps 1, 2, and 4 below (validate, check existing, write `daemon.json`). 2. **Skip Step 3** — do NOT create any `RemoteTrigger`. Leave `chainTriggerId` and `watchdogTriggerId` as `null` in the state file. …

How to install
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/daemon@sha256:1d5e05d3f3b29a13The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.7e0f5b7, 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.
