heartbeat

heartbeat is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from modimihir07/agentic-os. It costs 8 tokens per session (212 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A system health checker that reports whether agents are online, disk space and memory are within limits, and recent audit logs contain errors. It can run on a schedule or when requested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for regular or on-demand checks before and after other tasks, with a pass-or-fail report and alerts when limits are exceeded.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to manually inspect several system conditions and helps reveal problems before they disrupt work.

Token cost

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

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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Heartbeat — System Health Monitor

Description

Checks system health at regular intervals: agent status, disk usage, memory pressure, and recent audit errors. Flags anomalies and triggers alerts if thresholds are breached.

When to Use

  • Every 5 minutes as a scheduled cron job
  • On-demand to check system health
  • Before and after running other skills

Process

  1. Check all 3 agents (opencode, hermes, agy) are online
  2. Check disk usage (< 90%)
  3. Check memory pressure (< 80%)
  4. Scan recent audit log for errors
  5. Update brain/recent-decisions.md if issues found
  6. Return health summary

Output

JSON health report with pass/fail per check

Agent Assignment

  • Primary: opencode
  • Fallback: hermes
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
