Proactive Loop

Proactive Loop

Start Sutando's autonomous loop. Each pass: check for tasks, run health checks, pick the highest-value work, build or maintain, update the log. Monitors voice tasks, context drops between passes.

Usage: /proactive-loop [interval]

ARGUMENTS: $ARGUMENTS

Parse arguments

If an interval is provided in ARGUMENTS (e.g. "5m", "10m", "30m"), use it. Otherwise default to 10m.

On activation

1. Run /schedule-crons to set up all recurring cron jobs (morning briefing, Zacks, etc.)
2. Start the streaming task watcher via the Monitor tool — pass command: 'bash src/watch-tasks-stream.sh', persistent: true, description: 'Streaming task watcher'. The script emits one TASK_FILE: <basename> line per new task file (initial sweep + each subsequent event). Read the named file via the Read tool when notifications arrive.

Start the loop

If CronList already shows a recurring job that drives this loop — either a main-loop entry from /schedule-crons (typically */5 * * * * → /proactive-loop) or a prior /loop invocation with the body below — skip this section and run the per-pass body directly. That cron is the canonical driver; adding another would compound on every fire — each /proactive-loop invocation would re-run /loop, scheduling another recurring job and growing the cron list unboundedly.

Otherwise, use /loop <interval> with this prompt:

Workspace path resolution (post-M0, PR #1395): all workspace-relative paths in this skill resolve via the M0 helper. Resolve once per pass and reuse the variable — don't re-spawn the python subprocess per read or write:

WORKSPACE="$(bash scripts/sutando-config.sh workspace)"
# ...all subsequent reads and writes use "$WORKSPACE/<path>" — quote it.
bash scripts/core-status.sh running "<what you are actually doing>"
cat "$WORKSPACE/build_log.md"

This resolves through bash scripts/sutando-config.sh workspace, which reads sutando.config.local.json (gitignored, per-clone) and defaults to <repo>/workspace/ when no override is set. $SUTANDO_WORKSPACE is no longer honored for workspace resolution as of v0.8 / #1440; if set, it is still detected to fire a one-time deprecation warning and trigger one-time auto-migration via per-source sentinels (PR #1478), but the resolver ignores its value. Never hardcode ~/.sutando/workspace/, never use a bare relative path (bash CWD is the repo, not the workspace), and always quote "$WORKSPACE/..." so spaces in the workspace path don't tokenize.

Build log: $WORKSPACE/build_log.md

Each pass, in order:
