Automate walnut rhythm health checks by comparing last update timestamps from _kernel/now.json against configured cadence values in _kernel/key.md, generating a health report with categories like active, quiet, and waiting.

A walnut rhythm health check compares last update timestamps to configured cadence values to flag overdue walnuts. It reads rhythm values from _kernel/key.md and updated times from _kernel/now.json to output a categorized health report.

Schedule walnut health monitoring using the cron-based schedule defined in the skill metadata. Configure the cron, run the job, and overdue walnuts will be flagged on the next automated cycle.

Walnut rhythm monitoring skips archives and inbox walnuts, and it excludes people walnuts entirely. It only checks non-archive walnuts to guide attention toward active maintenance workflows.

Active, quiet, and waiting are health signals in the walnut health report that categorize walnuts based on their rhythm status. These categories guide attention toward overdue items that need maintenance.

Yes, walnut health checks support a cron-based schedule defined in the skill metadata with no external dependencies required. Configure the schedule and run the job to flag overdue walnuts automatically.
