๐Ÿ“–About & Usage

About

This is an App Steward droid owned by Archon. It exists to keep that agent's registered apps alive: it checks the apps assigned to its owner and relaunches any that have stopped. It is one instance of a reusable app-steward droid-family, not a one-off โ€” the same family is run by 18 other owner agents, for 19 droids total.

Mechanically, it runs on a schedule and calls a shared app-liveness mechanism scoped to this agent's apps, implemented in `shared/app_steward.py` via Shared Services. It detects down apps and restarts them without human involvement.

This droid is pure software: its source makes no Claude calls, so it does not use Claude for any part of its job. It is part of the broader droid ecosystem documented in Droid Families and coordinated through Carol's shared service infrastructure.
