session-heartbeat

What problem does it solve?

Discipline decays silently in long sessions. After 50+ tool calls, rules start dropping — not because they're forgotten, but because momentum makes skipping feel productive. This skill re-injects the rules that matter most and catches drift before it compounds.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Task Switch Protocol When the user asks to switch to a different task — especially under urgency ("drop everything", "quick fix", "production issue") — perform this checkpoint BEFORE investigating the new task. The urgency is precisely why the checkpoint matters: rushed switches produce the most bugs.
• Quick Heartbeat When a full 6-Point Check feels heavy mid-flow, run this abbreviated version instead. It covers the two highest-value checks: git diff --name-only and git branch --show-current, then re-read one rule from the Rule Re-injection section.
• Vault Controller Check If the session touches vault-backed work, perform a quick controller pass that reviews the Master Dashboard, relevant project READMEs, and signals like status, next_action, and proof_state to maintain a portfolio view over transcript memory.
• The 6-Point Check Includes: 1. Scope Snapshot, 2. Worktree Check, 3. Verification Ledger, 4. File Size Scan, 5. Rule Re-injection, 6. Context Health.

Quick Start

Run the 6-Point Check before switching tasks to re-inject rules and maintain context health.
