Description
Adds scheduled heartbeat monitoring to Claude Code. Runs a customizable HEARTBEAT.md checklist on a timer via launchd/cron, logs results, and optionally forwards alerts to Telegram via C3Poh. Ships with three security presets (sane/paranoid/chaos) and enforces notify-only mode by default. Zero external dependencies beyond Python and Claude CLI.
Validate Claims
Install via pip, run tinman init to create a HEARTBEAT.md, then tinman run --once to see Claude analyze your project and report what needs attention.
Specific Task(s)
After installation, ask Claude to check for uncommitted git changes older than 24 hours and report disk space usage.
Specific Prompt(s)
Run tinman run --once after setting up your HEARTBEAT.md. The output shows Claude's analysis of whatever checks you defined.
Additional Comments
Inspired by OpenClaw's heartbeat feature. Pairs with C3Poh for mobile notifications. Part of my Claude Code toolkit that includes heartbeat-templates and agent-blueprints.
