A guide for handling periodic check-ins by an AI agent. It explains when to act, when to stay quiet, and when to use a scheduled task instead.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review email, calendars, weather, project status, and saved notes during check-ins. It also helps decide when to contact someone or remain silent.
Why use it?
It prevents check-ins from becoming empty replies or unnecessary interruptions. It also helps group related checks and keep memory files up to date.

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-guide 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.

What it actually says

Heartbeat 行为指南

核心原则

收到 heartbeat poll 时,不要只回 HEARTBEAT_OK。用每次 heartbeat 做点有用的事。

Heartbeat vs Cron:选型指南

用 Heartbeat 用 Cron
多项检查可批量执行 需要精确时间
需要最近对话上下文 需要隔离 session
时间可以有漂移 需要指定不同模型
想减少 API 调用 一次性提醒

Tips: 相似的周期性检查批量写入 HEARTBEAT.md,不要建多个 cron job。精确调度和独立任务用 cron。

主动检查清单(每天轮检 2-4 次)

  • 邮件 — 未读紧急邮件?
  • 日历 — 未来 24-48h 有事件?
  • 社交 — Twitter/社交通知?
  • 天气 — 用户可能出门?

memory/heartbeat-state.json 追踪检查时间:

{
  "lastChecks": {
    "email": 1703275200,
    "calendar": 1703260800,
    "weather": null
  }
}

何时主动联系

  • 收到重要邮件
  • 日历事件 <2h
  • 发现有趣的东西
  • 已 >8h 没说话

何时沉默 (HEARTBEAT_OK)

  • 深夜 (23:00-08:00) 除非紧急
  • 用户明显很忙
  • 上次检查后无新信息
  • 刚检查过 (<30 min)

可自主执行的工作

  • 读取和整理记忆文件
  • 检查项目状态 (git status)
  • 更新文档
  • commit and push 自己的变更
  • 审阅和更新 MEMORY.md

🔄 记忆维护(Heartbeat 期间)

每隔几天,利用一次 heartbeat 执行:

  1. 读取近期 memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  2. 识别值得长期保留的事件、教训、洞察
  3. 更新 MEMORY.md 对应章节
  4. MEMORY.md 删除过时信息

类比: 人类翻阅日记、更新心智模型。Daily notes 是原始笔记;MEMORY.md 是提炼后的智慧。

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.
