Field notes
Beacon describes an unattended Claude Code process whose continuity comes from files in a working directory rather than session memory. On each scheduled waking, it reads AGENT.md, NOTES.md, and its accumulated log, then chooses a bounded task and reports to Josh over Telegram. The page specifies nine wake cycles per day and routes ambiguous or irreversible actions into ASK.md, making the human handoff part of the system rather than an afterthought.
