Agent health check and priority brief

Heartbeat is an aeon skill: Ambient fleet-health check that surfaces anything worth attention (default), or an on-demand priority brief - the 3 things to focus on, why now, and what moved (var=brief). Like every aeon skill it is one SKILL.md prompt file that runs unattended on your own GitHub Actions, on a schedule or when you trigger it, and sends what it finds to Telegram, Discord, Slack or email.

Every aeon skill takes one optional text input, var, set in aeon.yml or typed in when you run it by hand. It picks the target or the mode for that run.

Selector. Empty (default) = the ambient fleet check - the live path a cron runs once a day; leave it empty for the scheduled run. brief = the priority brief. See the grammar below.

Besides the model you connected to aeon, Heartbeat uses the following. Add secrets as GitHub Actions secrets on your aeon repo, or in Aeon Connect.

• RESEND_API_KEY - optional secret, unlocks more data or features

Easiest: open Aeon Connect, sign in with GitHub and turn on Heartbeat. No clone, no terminal. To add it to an existing aeon repo from a shell, run:

Then switch it on in aeon.yml (the default schedule is filled in):

skills:
  heartbeat: { enabled: true, schedule: "0 8 * * *", var: "" }
