kairos-lite

Proactive monitoring and briefing agent. Runs between sessions via cron + claude -p, checks GitHub (PRs, CI, issues, dependabot), local repo state (stale branches, uncommitted changes), and toolkit health (hook errors, stale memories, state files). Produces structured briefings injected at session start.

When to invoke

• User says "morning briefing", "what happened", "project status", "check notifications", "health check", "kairos"
• Invoked automatically by cron every 4 hours during business hours (quick scan — Category A only)
• Nightly deep scan at 2:30 AM (all categories)

Instructions

When invoked interactively, read skills/kairos-lite/monitor-prompt.md and execute its phases directly. The prompt is self-contained — it describes the full monitoring cycle including check categories, output format, and file paths.

For cron invocation: the monitor prompt is passed directly to claude -p and runs as a standalone headless session with no CLAUDE.md, no hooks, no project context. All instructions are embedded in the prompt.

Requires CLAUDE_KAIROS_ENABLED=true environment variable. If not set, exit silently.
