Crypto Signals Team — 24/7 Operations Router

This plugin runs continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on OpenClaw or Hermes Agent. The signals cycle runs every 30 minutes. The watchdog runs every 5 minutes. A weekly performance summary publishes every Monday at 09:00 UTC.

Watchdog runs independently every 5 minutes:

scripts/watchdog.sh
├── Check heartbeat age (threshold: HEARTBEAT_TIMEOUT_MINUTES=35)
├── Check error log spike (alert if ≥3 errors in 5min window)
├── Check Telegram bot connectivity
├── Check x402scan reachability
└── Check today's spend vs DAILY_SPEND_CAP_USDC
    └── Auto-pause + alert if cap reached

Runtime Support

OpenClaw

Plugin is linked to ~/.openclaw/plugins/crypto-signals-plugin. Scheduling is done via system cron:

*/30 * * * *  ~/.gemini/config/plugins/crypto-signals-plugin/scripts/run-cycle.sh
*/5  * * * *  ~/.gemini/config/plugins/crypto-signals-plugin/scripts/watchdog.sh
0 9  * * 1    ~/.gemini/config/plugins/crypto-signals-plugin/scripts/run-cycle.sh weekly-summary

Hermes Agent

Plugin is linked to ~/.hermes/skills/crypto-signals-plugin. Scheduling is done via Hermes built-in scheduler:

hermes schedule add --name crypto-signals-cycle  --cron "*/30 * * * *" --skill crypto-signals-plugin/crypto-signals-router
hermes schedule add --name crypto-signals-watchdog --cron "*/5 * * * *" --skill crypto-signals-plugin/watchdog
hermes schedule add --name crypto-signals-weekly   --cron "0 9 * * 1"  --skill crypto-signals-plugin/channel-captain

Persistent Linux Service (optional, either runtime)

# Install systemd timer for watchdog (more reliable than cron)
sudo cp ~/.gemini/config/plugins/crypto-signals-plugin/config/crypto-signals-watchdog.{service,timer} /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl enable --now crypto-signals-watchdog.timer
