HeartBeat 2.0 is a Hermes Agent plugin that lets an agent commit to checking back later and actually do it, in the same conversation and on the same model, rather than through a separate cron job or subagent. Users or the agent itself create two kinds of scheduled items, armed with a slash command or the agent's own tool call: wakes, a one-time or recurring follow-up that fires as a turn in the originating chat, and watchers, deterministic checks on a file, process, URL, or read-only command that only produce a chat message when the watched state actually changes. The design responds point by point to a documented list of failures in earlier heartbeat implementations popularized by OpenClaw. Schedules and claims are stored in SQLite on wall-clock time, so missed fires after a restart or sleep collapse into one instead of replaying; each fire is a durable compare-and-set claim, preventing duplicate deliveries or injection into a chat that is already busy; watchers decide without spending a model call, and a no-op governor backs off and then pauses a watcher that keeps finding nothing after repeated empty checks; there is no destination parameter, so a wake can only return to the chat that armed it. Quiet hours, daily caps on model turns and messages, an unmute-on-reply mute, and configurable intervals and lifetimes are all plugin settings the user controls; the agent may only narrow its own wakes or switch them off, never widen a setting. The project includes a 34-scenario deterministic benchmark suite comparing HeartBeat 2.0 against a naive heartbeat-1.0 emulator built from documented failure reports, reporting zero duplicate deliveries, zero missed required fires, and far fewer model turns spent on no-op ticks. It is aimed at Hermes users who want reliable, low-noise scheduled reminders and background monitoring inside their existing chat.
