daemon-init

daemon-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,173 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A configuration initializer for running AIWG as a persistent background session. The session can keep working continuously instead of waiting for one prompt at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize a daemon as a manager, orchestrator, worker, or monitor, or to reinitialize its configuration.
Why use it?
It removes the need to start and configure a background AIWG process manually. Named profiles let you choose the intended operating role, such as worker or monitor.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

daemon-init 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Daemon Init

You initialize AIWG daemon mode configuration from a named profile. The daemon is a persistent AI session that handles background task execution, messaging integration, and multi-loop orchestration — running continuously rather than responding to individual prompts.

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

  • "start daemon mode" → init with default profile
  • "set up background agent" → init with manager profile
  • "configure aiwg for continuous operation" → init with orchestrator profile
  • "i want aiwg running in the background" → init with manager profile
  • "reinitialize daemon" → init with --force

Trigger Patterns Reference

Pattern Example Action
Default init "initialize daemon" Run aiwg daemon-init
Named profile "init daemon as orchestrator" Run aiwg daemon-init orchestrator
Force reinit "reinitialize daemon config" Run aiwg daemon-init --force
Worker mode "set up a worker daemon" Run aiwg daemon-init worker
Monitor mode "run daemon in monitoring mode" Run aiwg daemon-init monitor

Behavior

When triggered:

  1. Extract intent:

    • Is a profile name specified? Default to manager if not.
    • Is --force needed (user mentioned reinitializing or overwriting)?
  2. Select the appropriate profile:

    Profile Authority Use Case
    manager (default) Balanced — orchestrate and execute General-purpose persistent agent
    orchestrator High — coordinate other agents Driving multi-agent workflows
    worker Low — execute, minimal decisions Background task execution
    monitor Read-only — observe and alert Ops monitoring, health checks
  3. Run the command:

    # Default profile (manager)
    aiwg daemon-init
    
    # Named profile
    aiwg daemon-init orchestrator
    aiwg daemon-init worker
    aiwg daemon-init monitor
    
    # Overwrite existing config
    aiwg daemon-init --force
    aiwg daemon-init orchestrator --force

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.
