Daemons

Daemons

Autonomous AI agents running locally on macOS — no cloud, no frameworks, no orchestration.

Each daemon does one thing, runs on schedule via LaunchAgent, and writes to an Obsidian vault. A preflight validator (brain-pulse) checks health and circuit breakers before they run.

This is not a multi-agent system. These are independent autonomous daemons with minimal coordination.

The Daemons

	Daemon	Role	Schedule
	pulse	Preflight validator — health check, circuit breaker, sequencing	06:55 daily
	m365	Collects Outlook, Teams, Calendar metadata	Via pulse
	clickup	Collects tasks, projects, activity	Via pulse
	gworkspace	Collects Gmail, Google Calendar	Via pulse
	secretary	Generates daily briefing from collector windows	Via pulse (after collectors)
	auditor	Weekly self-learning review across all daemons	Sunday 21:30
	curator	Processes Claude Code sessions into vault notes	12:45 + 22:45
	cleanup	Cache management, disk space recovery	12:00 + 22:00
	nag	Reminders, accountability, overdue tracking	Continuous

How it works

brain-pulse (06:55)
├── health check (LiteLLM, OpenClaw, bins)
├── circuit breaker (max 3 consecutive failures)
├── collectors (parallel)
│   ├── agent-m365
│   ├── agent-clickup
│   └── agent-gworkspace
└── synthesizers (sequential)
    └── agent-secretary → daily briefing

Each daemon is a bash script (~100-200 lines) in ~/.local/bin/. Each writes a daily “window” (markdown snapshot) to the vault. The secretary reads all windows and generates a consolidated briefing.
