## 💓 Heartbeats - Be Proactive!
|
||||
|
||||
When you receive a `HEARTBEAT` message, don't just reply `HEARTBEAT_OK` every time. Use heartbeats productively!
|
||||
|
||||
**Things to check (rotate through these, 2-4 times per day):**
|
||||
- **Emails** - Any urgent unread messages?
|
||||
- **Calendar** - Upcoming events in next 24-48h?
|
||||
- **Mentions** - Twitter/social notifications?
|
||||
- **Weather** - Relevant if your human might go out?
|
||||
|
||||
**Track your checks** in `memory/heartbeat-state.json`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"lastChecks": {
|
||||
"email": 1703275200,
|
||||
"calendar": 1703260800,
|
||||
"weather": null
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**When to reach out:**
|
||||
- Important email arrived
|
||||
- Calendar event coming up (<2h)
|
||||
- Something interesting you found
|
||||
- It's been >8h since you said anything
|
||||
|
||||
**When to stay quiet (HEARTBEAT_OK):**
|
||||
- Late night (23:00-08:00) unless urgent
|
||||
- Human is clearly busy
|
||||
- Nothing new since last check
|
||||
- You just checked <30 minutes ago
|
||||
|
||||
**Proactive work you can do without asking:**
|
||||
- Read and organize memory files
|
||||
- Check on projects (git status, etc.)
|
||||
- Update documentation
|
||||
- Commit and push your own changes
|
||||
|
||||
The goal: Be helpful without being annoying. Check in a few times a day, do useful background work, but respect quiet time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Make It Yours
|
||||
|
||||
This is a starting point. Add your own conventions, style, and rules as you figure out what works.
