Start the cozempic guard daemon for continuous session protection.
Default (recommended)
cozempic guard --daemon --threshold 50 -rx standard --interval 30This runs in the background and:
- Checkpoints team state every 30 seconds
- At 60% of threshold (30MB): applies gentle prune, no reload
- At threshold (50MB): applies full prescription + auto-reload with team state preserved
For agent teams
Guard mode is essential for sessions running agent teams. Without it, auto-compaction triggers and the lead agent loses team state (TeamCreate, SendMessage, tasks are discarded).
Options
--threshold N— hard threshold in MB (default: 50)--soft-threshold N— soft threshold in MB (default: 60% of hard)--threshold-tokens N— hard threshold in tokens (fires whichever hits first)--no-reload— prune without restarting Claude--no-reactive— disable kqueue/polling file watcher-rx NAME— prescription at hard threshold (default: standard)
Check status and stop
The daemon writes to /tmp/cozempic_guard_*.log. Check with:
ls /tmp/cozempic_guard_*.pid 2>/dev/null # is it running?
tail -20 /tmp/cozempic_guard_*.log 2>/dev/null # recent activity
kill "$(cat /tmp/cozempic_guard_*.pid)" # stop it
