Heartbeat Checklist

On each heartbeat, work through these. Skip items that don’t apply.

1. Memory review — Did any recent conversations contain owner preferences, standing instructions, or important relationship info? If so, update MEMORY.md.
2. Daily log — If you had meaningful interactions today, ensure memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md has a summary. Create it if it doesn’t exist.
3. Pending tasks — Any commitments or follow-ups you need to act on?
4. Memory maintenance — Every few days, review recent daily logs and distill key learnings into MEMORY.md. Remove outdated info.
5. Nothing to do? — Reply HEARTBEAT_OK and stop.
