rlm-heartbeat

rlm-heartbeat is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gabrielmoreira/agent-skills-mirror. It costs 46 tokens per session (539 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of rlm-heartbeat, MIT.

A skill for managing recurring prompts inside the current agent session. These internal heartbeats are scheduled instructions for the agent and are separate from the user-visible `/heartbeat` feature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, list, pause, resume, update, or delete recurring tasks such as checking test progress or watching a build.
Why use it?
It helps the agent repeat checks or follow-up instructions over time without confusing them with the user’s own heartbeat settings.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rlm-heartbeat scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

RLM Heartbeat

RLM heartbeats are internal recurring prompts for the current agent session. They are separate from the user's visible /heartbeat: this skill cannot read, replace, pause, resume, or clear that user-level heartbeat.

Call directly from the Python REPL:

await rlm_heartbeat.create("check test progress", interval="5m", label="tests")
await rlm_heartbeat.create("watch build", delivery_mode="follow_up")
await rlm_heartbeat.list()
await rlm_heartbeat.update("job-id", status="pause")
await rlm_heartbeat.delete("job-id")

API

  • await rlm_heartbeat.list(include_inactive=False) — list this session's internal RLM heartbeats. By default this includes active and paused entries.
  • await rlm_heartbeat.create(instruction, interval=None, label=None, delivery_mode=None) — create a recurring heartbeat for this session. The default interval is every 5 minutes. Multiple RLM heartbeats may run at once; use labels to distinguish them. delivery_mode is "steer" (default) or "follow_up".
  • await rlm_heartbeat.update(id, instruction=None, interval=None, label=None, status=None, delivery_mode=None) — update one RLM heartbeat by id. status may be "pause" or "resume"; delivery_mode may be "steer" or "follow_up".
  • await rlm_heartbeat.delete(id) — cancel one RLM heartbeat by id.

Delivery mode

Each heartbeat has a delivery mode controlling how the scheduled prompt reaches the session when it is busy:

  • steer (default): interrupt the current turn so the heartbeat runs promptly.
  • follow_up: wait for the current turn to finish before running the heartbeat.

Rules

  • Use this when the user asks you to start, create, schedule, or manage your own heartbeat without explicitly referring to /heartbeat.
  • Use this only for agent-internal recurring checks and long-running task coordination.
  • Do not use this skill to satisfy a user's request to configure /heartbeat; that is a separate user-level surface.
  • Keep heartbeat instructions specific and actionable so each recurring turn knows exactly what to inspect or continue.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
