You can schedule recurring tasks and monitor background jobs by delegating them to a heartbeat agent. This requires adding a line with your task details to the 'HEARTBEAT.md' file, which enables periodic checks and follow-ups automatically.

A heartbeat agent is a mechanism for task delegation that executes scheduled checks and monitors background jobs. It works by reading task instructions written into the 'HEARTBEAT.md' file and processing them at specified times for efficient task management.

Yes, editing 'HEARTBEAT.md' is required to delegate tasks to the heartbeat agent. You must add a line containing your task details into this file to schedule follow-ups, recurring checks, or background job monitoring.

The best way to monitor background jobs using a heartbeat agent is to record and schedule them via 'HEARTBEAT.md'. By delegating tasks through this file, you enable the heartbeat agent to track execution and perform periodic checks efficiently.

You can schedule follow-ups and recurring checks on any platform where you have access to the heartbeat agent and the ability to edit 'HEARTBEAT.md'. Task delegation relies entirely on these two requirements for execution.
