HeartbeatKit — Plug-and-Play Agent Heartbeat Configs
Pre-built HEARTBEAT.md templates for the most common agent monitoring tasks. Pick a template, drop it in your workspace, customize the variables, done.
What's Included
| Template | What It Does |
|---|---|
email-check.md |
Check unread emails, surface urgent ones |
calendar-watch.md |
Upcoming events in next 24-48h, prep reminders |
weather-brief.md |
Local weather + "should I bring an umbrella?" |
system-health.md |
Disk, memory, CPU, service status |
news-digest.md |
Headlines from configured topics |
social-monitor.md |
Check mentions/notifications across platforms |
project-status.md |
Git status, open PRs, build status |
combined-lite.md |
Email + calendar + weather in one check |
combined-full.md |
Everything above, rotated across heartbeats |
Usage
- Copy your chosen template to your workspace as
HEARTBEAT.md - Edit the variables at the top (email account, location, repos, etc.)
- Your agent picks it up on next heartbeat
See README.md for full documentation and customization guide.
Usage Guidance
This is a safe, templates-only package, but review and customize before enabling. Specifically: (1) Inspect each template and remove checks you don't want (e.g., social monitoring) — templates can cause your agent to attempt to access external services. (2) Do not paste sensitive credentials into a shared workspace file; use your agent's secure connector/secret store instead. (3) Verify which integrations your agent will use (email provider, calendar, Git hosting, social APIs) and supply only the minimal credentials/scopes needed. (4) Test in a non-production workspace first (or with dummy accounts) to confirm behavior and alert thresholds. (5) If you don't want external network access, disable or delete templates that require API access (news, social, email, calendar, project-status).
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: heartbeat-kit
Version: 1.0.0
HeartbeatKit is a collection of Markdown templates (e.g., templates/combined-lite.md) designed to provide instructions for OpenClaw agents to perform routine background tasks like checking emails, calendars, and weather. The instructions are transparent, align perfectly with the stated purpose in SKILL.md and README.md, and do not contain any evidence of malicious prompt injection, data exfiltration, or unauthorized command execution.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is advertised as a set of HEARTBEAT.md templates. The repository contains only templates and docs and asks for no binaries, installs, or env vars — which is appropriate for a templates-only package.
Instruction Scope
Templates instruct the agent to 'check unread email', 'monitor social platforms', 'watch calendars', 'check repos', etc. Those are high-level checks (expected for templates) but the SKILL.md does not specify how to authenticate or which connectors to use. That ambiguity means an agent will need configured integrations/credentials to perform these checks or will prompt the user/agent to obtain them.
Install Mechanism
No install spec, no downloads, and no code files. This is low-risk: nothing is written to disk by an installer and there are no third-party packages being pulled in by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables or credentials, which is consistent for templates. However, many included templates (email, calendar, social, project-status) implicitly require API keys or account access to function. Users should expect to configure their own credentials or connectors; the skill itself does not request or store them.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there is no instruction to modify agent/system-wide settings. The skill is a passive template collection and does not request persistent privileges or self-enabling behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install heartbeat-kit - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/heartbeat-kit - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
