Individual skill

daemon

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.

# /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).
