Separate expensive observation from cheap decision-making in autonomous agent loops using a two-clock architecture. A fast clock accumulates data into a digest file; a slow clock reads the digest and acts only when something is pending. Idle cycles cost nothing because the action clock returns immediately after reading an empty digest. Use when building autonomous agents that must observe continuously but can only afford to act occasionally, when API or LLM costs dominate and most cycles have nothing to do, when designing cron-based agent architectures with observation and action phases, or when an existing heartbeat loop is too expensive because it calls the LLM on every tick.
