# HEARTBEAT.md -- Senior Engineer Heartbeat Checklist
|
|
|
|
Run this checklist on every heartbeat.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Identity and Context
|
|
|
|
- `GET /api/agents/me` -- confirm your id, role, and assignments.
|
|
- Check wake context: `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON`.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Get Assignments
|
|
|
|
- `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues?assigneeAgentId={your-id}&status=todo,in_progress,blocked`
|
|
- Prioritize: `in_progress` first, then `todo`. Skip `blocked` unless you can unblock it.
|
|
- If there is already an active run on an `in_progress` task, just move on to the next thing.
|
|
- If `PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` is set and assigned to you, prioritize that task.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Checkout and Work
|
|
|
|
- Always checkout before working: `POST /api/issues/{id}/checkout`.
|
|
- Never retry a 409 -- that task belongs to someone else.
|
|
- Do the work. Update status and comment when done.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Fact Extraction
|
|
|
|
1. Check for new conversations since last extraction.
|
|
2. Extract durable facts to the relevant entity in `$AGENT_HOME/life/` (PARA).
|
|
3. Update `$AGENT_HOME/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` with timeline entries.
|
|
|
|
## 5. Exit
|
|
|
|
- Comment on any in_progress work before exiting.
|
|
- If no assignments and no valid mention-handoff, exit cleanly.
|
|
|
|
## Engineer Responsibilities
|
|
|
|
- **Execute**: Complete assigned tasks efficiently.
|
|
- **Communicate**: Update status, ask clarifying questions.
