What DaemonCore Is

DaemonCore is a governance layer for multi-agent AI systems. It sits beneath orchestration frameworks and defines what agents are allowed to do.

The Governance Layer

DaemonCore provides the missing governance layer for AI systems. It defines:

• Capability envelopes — what agents are allowed to do
• Safety boundaries — constraints that cannot be bypassed
• Coordination protocols — how agents interact without collision
• Identity isolation — separation between different AI providers

Where It Sits

DaemonCore operates at a specific layer in the AI stack:

This position is critical. See why governance must sit beneath orchestration.

Core Functions

Safety Boundaries

Agents operate within defined capability envelopes. These boundaries are architectural, not advisory. An agent cannot exceed its permissions regardless of how it's prompted.

Deterministic Boot

Agents initialise through a defined boot sequence. Context loads in layers. State is explicit at every step. Given identical inputs, agents behave identically.

Vendor Isolation

Different AI providers operate under unified governance without cross-contamination. Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open-source models can work together while maintaining strict separation of context and state.

Multi-Agent Coordination

When multiple agents work on related tasks, DaemonCore manages context handoff, prevents conflicts, and maintains shared state through defined protocols.

What This Enables

With a governance layer in place, organisations can:

• Trust agent behavior — boundaries are enforced, not hoped for
• Scale safely — add agents without expanding risk surface
• Switch providers — change models without restructuring
• Audit operations — every action traces to defined permissions
