AC heartbeat-cron

Create and refine HEARTBEAT.md files for murmur — a CLI daemon that runs scheduled Claude prompts on a cron or interval schedule. Use this skill when the user wants to set up a recurring automated action (e.g., "monitor my GitHub issues", "check Hacker News for AI articles", "watch my endpoints", "send me a daily digest"). Guides the user through an interview, drafts the heartbeat prompt, tests it, and registers it with murmur's scheduler. Triggers: heartbeat, murmur, recurring task, scheduled action, cron, monitor, watch, automate, periodic check, scheduled prompt.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 58/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 65Failures and branches. 3 branches
    • 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
    • 85Steps. 52 steps, 3 vague phrases
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2468 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

    External checks

    ClawHub: suspicious
    The skill is honestly aimed at creating scheduled automation, but it can set up recurring agents with broad permissions and includes unsafe examples that need careful review before use.
