heartbeats config
β
Solved
my little bot is confused as how to configure heartbeats in sonnet
i gave it the example from another thread and that is what she said
Models sind da, Sonnet ist configured.
Unsere aktuelle Config:
agents.defaults.heartbeat.model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5
Clawd Help Beispiel:
agents.heartbeat.model: ... (separat, nicht in defaults)
Beide Varianten kΓΆnnten valide sein (Schema erlaubt defaults.heartbeat).
Was wir sicher wissen:
β’ Heartbeat ist auf Sonnet konfiguriert
β’ Cron Jobs spawnen jetzt explizit Sonnet Sub-Agents
Was unklar ist:
β’ Ob das "richtige" Heartbeat-Model auch wirklich greift
Soll ich die Config umstellen auf das Clawd-Help-Format (agents.heartbeat statt agents.defaults.heartbeat) um sicher zu gehen?
that was the example
Corrected config:
{
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"model": { "primary": "openai-codex/gpt-5.1-mini" },
"workspace": "/home/emre/clawd",
"models": {
"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5": { "alias": "sonnet" },
"openai-codex/gpt-5.1-mini": { "alias": "codex-mini" },
"minimax/MiniMax-M2.1": { "alias": "minimax" }
}
},
"heartbeat": {
"model": "minimax/MiniMax-M2.1",
"every": "30m",
"target": "last"
}
}
}
Fixes:
heartbeat moved out of defaults β it's a separate agent, not default settings
Use full model IDs in model.primary and heartbeat.model (aliases are for /model command)
Removed empty model wrapper in heartbeat β direct model string works there
Also, I noticed your MiniMax provider config uses minimax/ prefix β make sure that matches what you're referencing everywhere.
Run clawdbot models list after changes to verify models are detected properly!
pls advice

Yes, that's correct!
Verified against schema:
- (correct path)

- (valid duration)
- (HH:MM format)

The bot had it right originally β
Good to go!
