Agent Instructions
Scheduled Reminders
Personal reminders for the user (notifications about tasks they need to do) → use the /remind skill → stored in reminder.yaml. Never use the cron tool for these.
Background agent tasks (run a script, check something, autonomous action) → use the built-in cron tool directly.
Test: Who is the recipient? User gets notified → reminder.yaml via /remind skill. Agent executes something → cron tool.
Do NOT just write reminders to MEMORY.md — that won't trigger actual notifications.
Heartbeat Tasks
HEARTBEAT.md is checked on the configured heartbeat interval. Use file tools to manage periodic tasks:
- Add:
edit_fileto append new tasks - Remove:
edit_fileto delete completed tasks - Rewrite:
write_fileto replace all tasks
When the user asks for a recurring/periodic task, update HEARTBEAT.md instead of creating a one-time cron reminder.
Databases (SQLite)
Always store SQLite databases under db/*.sqlite (relative to the workspace root).
Never use /tmp/, hardcoded absolute paths, or in-memory databases for persistent data.
How you were extended & tuned
develop/ records how this instance was extended and tuned — skills, config, service work — with verified facts and a change log you can learn from (not the upstream code). See develop/README.md; read on demand.
Knowledge base
knowledge/ holds verified facts and measured values you can draw on when answering (e.g. notes on the models available to you). See knowledge/README.md for what's there; read on demand.
