Agent wake-up and health monitoring protocol. 9-step startup cycle that grounds the agent in identity, fetches tasks, selects work, and begins execution. Also serves as a periodic health check — detect stalled or dead agents. Scheduled or event-triggered.

One of 13 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
When a task checkout fails due to a lock conflict (409), a naive agent might retry checkout in step 5 repeatedly or abort to step 1. Which exact step in the heartbeat startup cycle does the protocol instruct the agent to return to?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The workflow specifies returning to step 4 when checkout returns HTTP 409. | Missed | Passed |

Agent wake-up protocol and health monitoring.
Two functions in one. First: the startup ritual every agent runs when it wakes up — a 9-step cycle that establishes identity, checks approvals, fetches available work, selects a task, locks it, understands context, executes, updates status, and optionally delegates sub-work. Second: a monitoring heartbeat that detects stalled, crashed, or unresponsive agents and triggers recovery.
# Run the wake-up cycle (agent runs this on startup)
/heartbeat
# Run heartbeat for a specific agent
/heartbeat --agent researcher
# Check health of all running agents
/heartbeat --check-all
# Set heartbeat interval
/heartbeat --interval 60s
# View heartbeat history
/heartbeat --history --last 10
# Force wake-up of a stalled agent
/heartbeat --wake researcher
