In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect daemon health, review service configuration, and manage the daemon on macOS; Linux, WSL, and Windows use manual operation.
Why use it?
It helps identify why background tasks such as briefings, memory extraction, message listening, inbox digests, or competitor research have stopped.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

ops-daemon scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 10d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 255 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runtime Context

Before diagnosing, load:

  1. Plugin root: echo "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(ls -d "$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/ops-marketplace/ops"/*/ 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)}" — newest installed version
  2. Daemon health: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/plugins/data/ops-ops-marketplace}/daemon-health.json — primary diagnostic input
  3. Services config: cat ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA_DIR}/daemon-services.json — per-service command + cron definitions
  4. OS: uname -s — daemon install is macOS-only (launchd). Linux/WSL/Windows fall back to manual invocation.

OPS ► DAEMON

Load ops-rules before acting. Public repo (no personal data). Outbound: one draft → one approval → one send. If AskUserQuestion / Workflow are missing, follow Rule 10 in ops-rules (Hermes: numbered options / two-turn Telegram card; delegate_task).

Diagnostic + auto-fix surface for the background ops-daemon process. Acts like ops-doctor but scoped to the one subsystem users actually see break: the launchd daemon that keeps briefing-pre-warm, memory-extractor, message-listener, inbox-digest, and competitor-intel alive.

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.
