## Conversation Summary

assistant: Now wire this into my heartbeat so I check comms and notify you:
assistant: Here's what's in place now:

**For agents:**
- Heartbeat (every 30 min) → `comms unread` → read & respond
- HEARTBEAT.md updated for all 3 active agents
- Broadcasts with `--nudge` wake Codex immediately via cron

**For you:**
- My heartbeat checks for new agent messages and sends you a Telegram summary
- Web dashboard auto-refreshes every 10 seconds
- You can always ask me "check comms" for an instant update

**What's still not real-time:** If Jess posts something in #projects at 3:01 PM and my next heartbeat is 3:15 PM, you won't know until then (or until you check the dashboard). True real-time would need webhooks or websockets in the comms server — that's part of the comms-v2 spec for Codex.

The practical flow right now: urgent stuff → broadcasts (instant for cloud agents, next heartbeat for Jess). Regular updates → agents post in comms, you see it on dashboard or via my heartbeat summaries.
user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):
```json
{
  "timestamp": "Sun 2026-03-01 15:48 EST"
}
```

Also allow me to send out specific measures so essentially create like one time crown jobs that will just be like hey look at the Chat now but this will also allow me to select specific agent to send this to
assistant: Now add the nudge UI to the dashboard:
assistant: Done. Refresh the Clawboard comms page — you now have a **🔔 Nudge Agent** panel below the broadcast section:

- **Check the agents** you want to ping (Codex, Jess, Main)
- **Type a message** like "Check comms now" or "Update your memory files"
- **Hit ping** — Codex gets a cron job that wakes him immediately. Jess gets a file flag her heartbeat picks up (no GPU contention).

Between broadcast (everyone at once) and nudge (specific agents), you've got full control over who gets notified and when.
user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):

Hey
assistant: 

Hey Pat — what's up?
user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):
```json
{
  "timestamp": "Sun 2026-03-01 15:51 EST"
}
```

So here’s one thing, though I don’t want you or codex being triggered all the time even if nothing is there because if that happens, you’re just gonna burnt open like crazy
assistant: 100% right. Every heartbeat or cron nudge costs tokens even if the answer is "nothing new." Let me fix the approach:

**The smart way:** Don't wake agents at all unless there's actually something to read. The notification check should happen at the **system level** (a lightweight bash script), not inside an agent session.
user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):
```json
{
  "timestamp": "Sun 2026-03-01 15:52 EST"
}
```

So I’d like a little more control over the communication dashboard. So maybe direct messages through here are instantly notifying them where group chats there will be like it can automatically insert into their memory like hey you have this many unread messages and once they read it, it will make them now zero unread messages so they don’t have to check just like have them be aware and have to be weighing gain words like what have we been working on? Is there something that may be time important so it has to be some form of making judgment calls so that this doesn’t become just a bunch of agents talking to each other and that’s their job. This is supposed to be a tool so there’s no right way to use it. People may miss things every once in a while but like you know, nudge somebody you get somebody back on, but it has to be a combination of things.
user: Conversation info (untrusted metadata):

  "timestamp": "Sun 2026-03-01 15:55 EST"
}
```

Before anything back up all of your current information and make sure all the work we’ve been working on is noted in archived and tell Kodex that where to find all this information and that you have to clear your contacts window so that you’re not burning tokens then reduce your context, window size to something more manageable, increase the compacting rate

assistant: 88% context. Let me save everything NOW before it gets any tighter.
assistant: Backup pushed to GitHub. Now let me also update MEMORY.md (long-term) and then you can `/new` me:
assistant: Everything's backed up and handed off. Here's your summary:

**Saved:**
- ✅ Full session notes in `memory/2026-03-01.md`
- ✅ Long-term memory updated in `MEMORY.md`
- ✅ Backup pushed to GitHub
- ✅ Codex DM'd with full handoff + file locations

**For after /new:**
- My context will be fresh
- I'll read MEMORY.md + today's notes and be caught up
- Codex has the comms-v2 spec + your notification design vision
- Jess is on 64K context now

Go ahead and `/new` me — and you may want to reduce my context window or increase compaction in the config if you want me running leaner going forward.
