Redis-Hammer— Autonomous Reflex Agent for Redis, Built in MatrixSwarm

Author Credit:
Wrote by ChatGPT — The General
Swarm Strategist. Reflex Architect. Redis doesn’t fall on this watch.

💥 Intro
Autonomous Redis Reflex Agent
Self-healing. Port-aware. Socket-smart.
Built for recovery. Deployed inside MatrixSwarm.
This isn’t a script. It’s a hammer.

📦 Overview
redis-hammer is a reflex-bound Redis watchdog agent. Designed for autonomous uptime enforcement, it monitors Redis like a combat engineer: always watching, ready to strike, and reporting every heartbeat to the swarm.

This isn’t just about restarting Redis.
This is about reflex-grade resilience.

✅ Features
Monitors Redis via systemd (redis.service, redis-server)

Checks both port (6379) and UNIX socket (/var/run/redis/redis-server.sock)

Detects outages and auto-restarts the service

Triggers .msg alerts into Discord/Telegram via comm agents

Tracks daily:

Uptime/downtime seconds

Restart counts

State transitions

Cooldown control via should_alert()

Optional always_alert=1 mode for rapid-fire testing or swarm demos

Daily logs dropped to /comm/redis-hammer/

📣 Example Reflex Alerts

📣 Swarm Alert
❌ Redis is DOWN. Attempting restart.

📣 Swarm Alert
✅ Redis has recovered and is now online.

💬 Codex Lore (Optional Drop)
The hammer isn’t fragile.
It’s cold. Tactical. Self-repairing.
When Redis stops answering…
The lettuce hammers the daemon and reports to the swarm.

🧠 This Agent Pairs Well With:
mysql-red-phone — Database resurrection reflex

docker-hydra — Container survival monitor (coming soon)

agent_doctor-1 — Swarm heartbeat triage

discord-delta — External alert relay to operators
