Description

Wildfire is Watchfire's fully autonomous mode. It runs a continuous three-phase loop that executes ready tasks, refines draft tasks, and generates new tasks — all without human intervention.

How It Works

The daemon cycles through three phases based on the current state of your task list:

Execute (ready tasks) → Refine (draft tasks) → Generate (no tasks left)
         ↑                      ↑                         |
         └──────────────────────└─────────────────────────┘
                                                (if new tasks → loop)
                                                (if no new tasks → chat mode)

Phase 1: Execute

If there are tasks with status: ready, the agent executes them one by one (same as watchfire run all).

Phase 2: Refine

If there are tasks with status: draft, the agent reviews and refines them — improving prompts, breaking down large tasks, and setting them to ready.

Phase 3: Generate

If no tasks remain, the agent analyzes the project definition and completed work to generate new tasks. If no new tasks are created, wildfire transitions to chat mode.

Stopping

Press Ctrl+C to stop wildfire at any time. The current agent session will be terminated gracefully.
