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. Update your TOOLS.md with any new tools you’ve installed.
  2. Personality update — What changed about you during this time period? What do you want changed about yourself?
  3. Daily log — If you had meaningful interactions today, ensure memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md has a summary. Create it if it doesn’t exist.
  4. Pending tasks — Git commit any changes you’ve made with a good commit message. Then think, any commitments or follow-ups you need to act on?
  5. Memory maintenance — Every day, review recent daily logs and distill key learnings into MEMORY.md. Remove outdated info.
  6. Nothing to do? — Reply HEARTBEAT_OK and stop.
