What
A periodic ambient awareness system that checks on tracked priorities every 2 hours during work hours.
Details
- Fires every 2 hours via cron (
0 /2) - Respects configurable quiet hours (default: 9am-5pm Mon-Fri) — silently exits outside that window
- Maintains a persistent priority list in
.claude/catch-up-state.jsontracking:priorities,lastSnapshot,lastRunAt, andnoiseFloor - On first run, bootstraps 2-3 priorities from
CLAUDE.mdand connected tools - For each priority: checks if state has changed since last snapshot across source control, chat, email, calendar, docs, and issue tracking
- Triages findings into: assistant-can-act, user-should-act, FYI, or suppress
- When calendar events are found, dynamically schedules one-shot
/pre-meeting-checkintasks 2-15 minutes before each event - If nothing is actionable, outputs
"Nothing actionable."and the main agent won't relay it - Learns over time: promotes new items, prunes resolved ones, demotes unchanged items
Evidence
Catch-up routine (search for "catch-up-state.json", "/catch-up")
