This skill builds a persistent gateway for an AI coding agent on a Mac. It bridges background workflows (Inngest, cron, pipelines) into your agent's session and optionally routes responses to external channels (Telegram, WebSocket).
GATEWAYROLE=central is required for the always-on session. Without it, the session runs as a satellite and misses heartbeats, system alerts, and any events not targeted at it specifically. Set it when launching:
serveHost is mandatory when Inngest runs in Docker and the worker runs on the host. The SDK advertises localhost:3100 as its callback URL, but Docker can't reach the host's loopback. Set it in your Hono serve handler:
Set up a persistent AI agent gateway on macOS with Redis event bridge, heartbeat monitoring, and multi-session routing. Interactive Q&A to match your intent — from minimal (Redis + extension) to full (embedded daemon + Telegram + watchdog). Use when: 'set up a gateway', 'I want my agent always on', 'event bridge', 'heartbeat monitoring', 'agent notifications', or any request to make an AI agent persistent and reachable.
