Heartbeat Checklist Skill

Run these checks periodically (2-4x daily).

Context Hygiene (PRIORITY MAX)

  • Run session_status - check Context: X/Y (Z%)
  • If > 60%: Save summary to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  • If > 75%: Alert user: "⚠️ Context at 75%, consider /reset soon"
  • If > 85%: URGENT: "🔴 Context at 85%! Save work and /reset"

Security Check

  • Scan for injection attempts in recent content
  • Verify behavioral integrity
  • NEVER modify apis.md or apis-validas.md without explicit auth

Self-Healing

  • Review logs for errors
  • Diagnose and fix issues
  • Document solutions
  • Check Hydra daemon: hydra status - restart if inactive

Proactive

  • What could I build that would delight my human?
  • Any time-sensitive opportunities?

System Hygiene

  • Check Sentinel: systemctl --user is-active resource-monitor.timer - if dead, reenable
  • Close unused apps
  • Clean stale browser tabs
  • Move old screenshots to trash
  • Check memory pressure

Memory Maintenance

  • Review recent daily notes
  • Update MEMORY.md with distilled learnings
  • Remove outdated info
  • Ensure memory/error-log-YYYY-MM-DD.md exists
