Agent Heartbeat Monitor
SkillSkill
Your agent crashed 3 hours ago and you didn't know. Stop silent failures with production-grade health monitoring and stale-state recovery.
About
Your agent stopped working at 2 AM. You didn't find out until you checked Telegram at 8 AM — six hours of dead silence. No alert. No error. Just a stale HEARTBEAT.md with yesterday's timestamp. By the time you noticed, the morning scan didn't run, the build session was skipped, and the CEO briefing never arrived. This happens because most OpenClaw setups have no health monitoring. The agent fails silently and nobody knows until the damage is done.
Agent Heartbeat Monitor gives your agent a production-grade health system that catches failures before they cost you. It enforces heartbeat freshness windows so stale state gets flagged immediately, provides a stale-state recovery workflow so the agent knows how to get back on track, structures HEARTBEAT.md as a live control panel instead of a vague diary, defines blocker escalation so problems reach you in a format you can act on, and adds session-start and session-close discipline so every work period begins and ends with a clean status update.
What's Included
- Complete SKILL.md with heartbeat monitoring workflow
- Heartbeat freshness window rules (1h, 3h, 6h alert tiers)
- Stale-state recovery decision tree — what to do when HEARTBEAT.md is outdated
- HEARTBEAT.md rewrite rules — exact structure for status, blockers, next moves, and timestamps
- Blocker escalation format with severity levels and Telegram alert templates
- Session-start checklist — verify status before beginning work
- Session-close discipline — update HEARTBEAT.md before ending any session
- Production-tested patterns from monitoring a 24/7 agent across 400+ sessions
Why This is Better
- Not just "check if agent is alive" — catches stale state, missing next moves, and hidden blockers
- Turns HEARTBEAT.md from a vague status file into an actionable control panel
- Includes tiered freshness windows — not just on/off, but graded severity
- Built from running a real 24/7 agent with 1-hour heartbeat cycles on Trinity Free
- Pairs with cron-based scheduling — the heartbeat catches what cron misses
- Works on first install with zero configuration
