## Periodic Tasks

### 1. Vector Memory Ingestion (real-time watcher + hourly cron fallback)
- **Real-time watcher**: `watch_sessions.py` uses inotify to detect session file changes
  - Check if running: `bash ~/.openclaw/skills/m2-memory/scripts/start_watcher.sh status`
  - If NOT running, restart it: `bash ~/.openclaw/skills/m2-memory/scripts/start_watcher.sh start`
  - Watcher state: `memory/watcher-state.json`
  - Log: `memory/watch-sessions.log`
- **Hourly cron fallback**: `memory-ingest-sessions` catches anything the watcher misses
  - If cron missed, run manually: `python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/m2-memory/scripts/ingest_sessions.py -v`
- Batch state: `memory/ingest-state.json`

*Add your own periodic tasks below as your role develops.*

## Email Monitoring (hourly)
Check `memory/heartbeat-state.json` → `lastEmailCheck`. If >1h ago:
```bash
# POP nasr@machinemachine.ai inbox (keep lean)
# Credentials: memory/credentials-email.md
# Read → Summarize → Archive/Delete
# Flag emails with: urgent, important, action required, deadline
# Alert Nasr if anything needs attention
```
Update `lastEmailCheck: <unix_ts>` after checking.

## Intent Extraction (every 12h)
Check `memory/heartbeat-state.json` → `lastIntentExtraction`. If >12h ago:
```bash
bash /home/developer/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/extract-intent.sh nasr
```
Update `lastIntentExtraction: <unix_ts>` after running.
