Description
Design better OpenClaw HEARTBEAT.md files with adaptive cadence, safe checks, and cron handoffs for precise schedules.
Usage Guidance
Safe to install if you want help drafting HEARTBEAT.md behavior. Review anything it creates under ~/heartbeat/, avoid storing secrets there, and manually confirm any generated cron or heartbeat changes before enabling them.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: heartbeat
Version: 1.0.1
The Heartbeat skill is a design assistant for creating efficient OpenClaw heartbeat files, focusing on adaptive monitoring and cost-control strategies. It provides templates and guidance for setting up local memory in `~/heartbeat/` and emphasizes safety through prechecks and validation checklists (qa-checklist.md). No malicious behaviors, data exfiltration, or harmful instructions were identified across the skill's documentation or logic.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifacts consistently describe heartbeat planning, interval tuning, cooldowns, cost guards, and cron handoff guidance, all aligned with the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to heartbeat setup and validation; setup.md does direct persisting the selected mode to ~/heartbeat/memory.md, but the broader SKILL.md and memory template disclose that local memory is part of the workflow.
Install Mechanism
The package contains markdown files only, declares no required binaries, and shows no executable scripts or automatic install-time behavior.
Credentials
The requested environment access is limited to a skill-specific local ~/heartbeat/ workspace and heartbeat-related drafts/snapshots, which is proportionate for tuning recurring monitoring behavior.
Persistence & Privilege
Local persistence is purpose-aligned and low sensitivity, but setup.md could be clearer about asking before creating or updating ~/heartbeat/memory.md and explaining deletion or no-persistence options.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install heartbeat - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/heartbeat - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
