Proactivity (Proactive Agent)

Proactive task management maintains durable memory and session state tracking to reconstruct recent work after interruptions, capturing current objectives and blockers to keep long-running workflows moving.

A heartbeat check for task management periodically surfaces stale blockers and promised follow-ups with minimal noise, ensuring stalled items in long-running workflows are flagged for review and recovery.

Initialize local proactive state in ~/proactivity/ to create durable memory that persists boundaries and activation preferences, allowing the agent to maintain consistent behavior across sessions.

Yes, proactive follow-through supports safe, user-driven tool use where explicit approval is required for external actions, ensuring boundary-aware decisions are enforced during automated task management.

Preventing context drift in long-running automation requires session-state tracking and follow-through loops that capture the next useful move, ensuring the workflow maintains its original objective.

You should avoid proactive task management for short, single-step tasks that do not require context-rich workflows, as the overhead of durable memory and heartbeat checks provides no recovery value for trivial operations.
