SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Many long-running agent-driven campaigns stall between sessions or require manual restarts, wasting time and risking inconsistent state; daemon automates session chaining so campaigns progress unattended while enforcing cost and safety gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Continuous Session Chaining: Schedules one-shot chain triggers and a recurring watchdog to restart sessions automatically after cooldowns or when a chain dies.
  • Budget and Lock Gates: Enforces budget caps, prevents overlapping sessions with lock checks, and stops or pauses on campaign completion, failure, or level-up approvals.
  • Telemetry-aware Cost Tracking: Reads per-session telemetry for accurate spend accounting and falls back to configurable per-session estimates.
  • Use Case: Run a multi-day research or improvement campaign overnight where Archon handles the work and the daemon guarantees safe, budgeted continuity and automated recovery.

Quick Start

Start the daemon for the active campaign by running /daemon start --budget 50 --interval 30m to begin continuous, budget-capped campaign execution.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate continuous autonomous campaign execution across multiple agent sessions?

Automate continuous autonomous campaign execution by chaining agent sessions and scheduling a recurring watchdog to restart sessions automatically after cooldowns or when a chain dies.

How does session chaining handle recovery from dead chains in long-running agent campaigns?

Session chaining handles recovery from dead chains by applying a recurring watchdog that detects stalled sessions and triggers restarts automatically, ensuring unattended progress across many sessions.

Can I enforce budget caps and prevent overlapping sessions during unattended campaign runs?

You can enforce budget caps and prevent overlapping sessions using built-in lock and budget gates that stop or pause campaigns on completion, failure, or level-up approvals.

How does cost tracking work for multi-day autonomous campaigns?

Cost tracking for autonomous campaigns reads per-session telemetry for accurate spend accounting and falls back to configurable per-session estimates when telemetry is unavailable.

What's the best way to start a budget-capped continuous campaign with automated recovery?

Start a budget-capped continuous campaign with automated recovery by running the daemon start command with your specified budget and interval, beginning continuous execution immediately.

Do I need RemoteTrigger setup to run campaigns continuously and autonomously?

Running campaigns continuously requires RemoteTrigger creation and deletion, stateful daemon.json management, session-cost telemetry integration, and session-start hook bootstrapping for unattended operation.
