# HEARTBEAT.md - Periodic Checks

**CRITICAL RULE: Heartbeat tasks ALWAYS use Ollama. NEVER escalate to other models. If Ollama fails, task fails.**

## Tasks

### File Organization
- Check workspace for new files that need categorizing
- Review memory/ directory — any logs that should be consolidated into MEMORY.md?
- Verify git status — any uncommitted changes?

### System Health
- Check if budget-tracker.json needs updating
- Verify cron jobs are still enabled
- Check for error files or logs

## Alert Triggers
- Budget spent exceeds 75% ($15)
- Cron job failed
- Uncommitted important changes
- Memory files growing too large

## Otherwise
Reply HEARTBEAT_OK

**Model:** Ollama (llama3.2:latest) ONLY. No escalation.
