let-me-knowNotify the user before starting any long-running task and keep them updated. Use when a task will take noticeable time (>2-3 minutes). Send a start message, schedule a 5‑minute heartbeat update, and send a completion message immediately when done.
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install fogyoy/let-me-knowEnsure the user is informed before long-running tasks start, gets periodic updates on a configurable interval (default 5 minutes), and receives an immediate completion/failure notice. Heartbeat messages must reflect real-time progress, not a repeated template.
Use this skill whenever a task will take noticeable time (>2–3 minutes) or involves long-running installs/builds/tests.
1) Pre-flight message (before starting):
2) Start a heartbeat (configurable interval, with pre-check)
everyMs=300000). If the user specifies a different interval, use it.sleep → 读取进度 → message send 发一次动态进度。cron add 创建心跳 job 时,payload.deliver=false(避免“收到/启动”之类消息被转发给用户)。message send 主动推送进度。-state.json ),供清理使用。cron list,若已存在同名心跳 job,先 remove(去重)。进度:<最新步骤/阶段>(<关键指标>)。下一步:。完成/失败会立刻通知你。 失败: 发生错误(简述原因)。已停止心跳提醒。 3) Run the task
4) Completion message (immediately after finish)
5) Stop heartbeat(必须做到)
cron remove 。Prefer outbound normal chat messages:
message send with the correct target format.user:.commands.restart: true) and retry.Start message:
即将开始:安装依赖并运行测试(预计 5–10 分钟)。完成或失败都会立刻通知你;期间我每 5 分钟发一次进度心跳,你也可以修改心跳时间间隔。Heartbeat (every 5 min, example):
进度:已完成安装依赖(1/2),测试运行中(已用时 4 分钟)。下一步:汇总测试结果。完成/失败会立刻通知你。Completion:
完成:安装成功,测试通过。Generated Mar 1, 2026
Developers use this skill to notify users before running long builds, dependency installations, or automated tests that exceed 2-3 minutes. It provides real-time progress updates, such as completion percentages or test stages, ensuring stakeholders are informed without manual checks. This reduces uncertainty and improves collaboration in agile or CI/CD environments.
Data engineers employ this skill for ETL jobs, data migrations, or large-scale analytics tasks that take noticeable time. Heartbeat messages update users on progress metrics like rows processed or stages completed, while immediate failure notifications allow quick intervention. This enhances operational transparency in data-driven industries like finance or healthcare.
IT administrators use it for long-running system updates, backups, or server deployments that require user awareness. Pre-flight messages set expectations, and configurable heartbeats provide status on steps like patch application or file transfers. This minimizes downtime surprises and supports compliance in regulated sectors like government or education.
Creative professionals apply this skill for tasks like video rendering, batch image processing, or AI model training that exceed a few minutes. Updates include progress indicators such as frames rendered or files completed, with immediate completion alerts. This streamlines workflows in media production, marketing, or entertainment industries.
Support teams integrate this skill for automated ticket resolution processes or data retrieval tasks that take longer than typical interactions. Heartbeats inform users of current steps, like querying databases or generating reports, while failure notices prompt manual follow-up. This improves customer experience in e-commerce or service-based businesses.
Offer this skill as part of a premium AI agent platform, charging monthly fees based on usage tiers or number of heartbeats sent. Revenue comes from enterprises needing reliable notification systems for automated workflows, with upsells for advanced customization or integration support. This model ensures recurring income and scalability.
Provide bespoke integration of this skill into existing business systems, such as CRM or project management tools, for a one-time fee or hourly rate. Revenue is generated by tailoring heartbeat intervals, message formats, and failure handling to specific client needs in industries like logistics or manufacturing. This adds value through personalized automation solutions.
Deploy a free version with basic heartbeat functionality and default intervals, then monetize advanced features like dynamic progress metrics, multi-channel notifications, or priority support. Revenue streams from upgrades to premium plans, targeting small businesses or individual developers who scale their usage. This model drives adoption and conversion.
💬 Integration Tip
Ensure the underlying task supports progress tracking via state files or logs for dynamic heartbeat content, and test cron removal fallbacks to prevent endless notifications in case of failures.
