Documentation

README

Excerpt

Create Heartbeat

Auth note: For any API calls use from dashboard.backend.sdk_client import evo — auto-handles URL + auth, no Bearer token needed in code.

Create a new heartbeat — a proactive agent that wakes on a schedule, runs the 9-step protocol, and decides whether to act.

When to use

Use heartbeats when:

The agent should check state and conditionally act (e.g., Atlas checks Linear for blockers)
You want no work when state is calm (vs routines which always run)
The same topic is picked from an inbox of tickets (heartbeats query tickets in step 3)

Don't use heartbeats for:

Deterministic scheduled jobs (use a routine)
One-off actions (use a skill or ticket)

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
