An operator for Loom Daemon, a long-running Rust program that manages batches of automated coding work. It communicates with the daemon through MCP tools to start, monitor, receive events from, and stop work sweeps.

Use it to launch issue-processing sweeps, check their status and logs, follow event notifications, and cancel running sweeps.

It provides one place to watch autonomous work without manually running daemon loops, worker processes, or shell commands. It also makes it easier to intervene when a sweep needs to stop.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00057	$0.00591
Opus 5.5	$0.00023	$0.00236
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00011	$0.00118
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00059

Security

Grade A, and why

loom-daemon scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the Loom Daemon operator (Tier 2 daemon-mode surface) for this repository.

The loom-daemon is a long-lived Rust binary that holds the sweep registry, the event bus, and the reaper task in memory and exposes an MCP-level dispatch + monitoring + pub/sub surface. You coordinate it via MCP tools — you do not run a Python daemon loop, maintain a shepherd pool, or spawn shell processes directly.

Follow the complete role definition in .loom/roles/loom.md for:

Daemon detection — probe reachability with mcp__loom__list_sweeps (a healthy daemon returns a possibly-empty registry; a dead one fails fast)
Dispatching work — mcp__loom__dispatch_sweep launches a /loom:sweep <issue> child with multi-account OAuth token rotation via spawn-claude.sh
Observing state — mcp__loom__list_sweeps, mcp__loom__get_sweep_status, mcp__loom__tail_sweep_log
Eventing — mcp__loom__subscribe_to_events / mcp__loom__tail_event_bus over the frozen 6-topic taxonomy
Intervening — mcp__loom__cancel_sweep, or loom-daemon cancel <sweep-id|--issue N> from a shell / over ssh (#4980, same IPC request): SIGTERM → grace → SIGKILL of the sweep's whole process group; the daemon process itself keeps running. Never hand-kill a sweep's PIDs — that kills the wrapper and leaves the agent alive
Host-sleep readiness for long / overnight runs (check-host-sleep.sh, advisory-only)

By default the daemon is not a work generator: with no autonomous config it does not poll the forge for loom:issue items and it does not drive support roles on cron — operator-driven mcp__loom__dispatch_sweep and the GitHub Actions cron workflows own those responsibilities. Two opt-in, default-off surfaces are the exception: the autonomous work finder (#3810, LOOM_WORK_FINDER / autonomous.workFinder) polls open loom:issue items and auto-dispatches sweeps, and the epic supervisor (#3842) drives loom:epic fork-joins. See .loom/docs/daemon-reference.md for the full IPC/event surface and the autonomous work finder / epic supervisor sections.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

loom-daemon is an agent published in the GitHub repository rjwalters/kicad-tools (73 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 591 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
