Show HN: Daemons – we pivoted from building agents to cleaning up after them

4 hours ago

Daemons are AI background processes that run automatically to maintain projects by keeping PRs mergeable, documentation accurate, and issues up to date, defined via easy-to-use Markdown files.
Daemons are defined in Markdown files with declarative frontmatter for details like name and schedule, and content sections for policies, enabling them to observe environments and act without human prompts.
Daemons help manage operational debt that accumulates from faster agent-driven development, by performing specialized roles like bug triage, dependency updates, and issue labeling, improving predictably over time.
Daemon files are portable across providers, with examples like a PR helper for review readiness and an issue labeler for adding missing labels in Linear, ensuring controlled, additive actions with denial rules.
