SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Keeps an eye on your agent's health by surfacing notable issues, stalled tasks, and quality degradations before they become problems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Monitors skill health by reading memory/cron-state.json and related logs to detect failures and delays.
  • Flags failed, stuck, or degraded skills and aggregates health signals for a quick executive summary.
  • Generates and updates a public status page to communicate fleet health and next steps to operators.
  • Useful for operators who need proactive alerts and automated governance over autonomous agents.

Quick Start

Run the heartbeat to surface failed or stuck skills and refresh the status page.

Frequently Asked Questions about Heartbeat

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor autonomous agent health and detect stalled tasks?▼

Monitor agent health by reading memory state files and related logs to detect failures, stalls, and quality degradation. The heartbeat mechanism surfaces these issues proactively before they escalate into larger operational problems.

What is a cron state file and how does it track agent performance?▼

A cron state file records scheduled task execution data. Reading cron-state.json correlates run data across enabled skills to identify delays, failures, and heartbeat reliability issues for automated status reporting.

How do I set up a public status page for automated agent monitoring?▼

Generate and update a public status page by aggregating health signals from memory stores and cron-state logs. This communicates fleet health, flags degraded skills, and outlines next steps for operators.

Do I need access to the Aeon memory store to run heartbeat checks?▼

Yes, accessing the Aeon memory store, cron-state.json, and the heartbeat workflow is required. This access correlates run data across enabled skills to accurately surface failures and generate health alerts.

Can I use this monitoring approach across all enabled agent skills?▼

Yes, health monitoring applies across all enabled skills. It reads shared memory state and logs to surface failures, stalls, and degradation uniformly, supporting automated governance over autonomous agents.

Why are my scheduled agent tasks failing or degrading over time?▼

Scheduled tasks fail or degrade due to execution errors or resource limits. Reading cron-state logs and correlating run data surfaces these reliability issues, flagging failed or stuck skills for operator intervention.
