-

-| `enabled` | boolean | No | true | Enable/disable watcher |

+## Automated Checking
 
-## Architecture
+The plugin responds to commands but doesn't auto-poll. Set up a cron job for automatic notifications:
 
-The plugin consists of three main components:
+```bash
+openclaw cron add --name "soundcloud-check" \
+  --every 6h \
+  --isolated \
+  --message "Run /soundcloud-cron and forward any updates to me on Telegram."
+```
 
-- **Plugin entry** ([openclaw-soundcloud-watcher/index.ts](openclaw-soundcloud-watcher/index.ts)) - Manages lifecycle, spawns watcher process
-- **Watcher** ([openclaw-soundcloud-watcher/soundcloud_watcher.ts](openclaw-soundcloud-watcher/soundcloud_watcher.ts)) - Pure TypeScript implementation of monitoring logic
-- **Manifest** ([openclaw-soundcloud-watcher/openclaw.plugin.json](openclaw-soundcloud-watcher/openclaw.plugin.json)) - Configuration schema and plugin metadata
+Uses `/soundcloud-cron` which:
+- Returns updates only (silent if nothing new)
+- Logs errors but doesn't spam on config issues
 
-### File Locations
+**Alternative:** Add to your `HEARTBEAT.md`:
+```markdown
+- [ ] Run /soundcloud-cron if not checked in last 6 hours
+```
 
-After installation:
+## File Locations
 
-- **Plugin code:** `~/.openclaw/extensions/soundcloud-watcher/`
-- **Config:** `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
-- **Credentials:** `~/.openclaw/secrets/soundcloud.env`
-- **Account data:** `~/.openclaw/data/soundcloud_tracking.json`
-- **Artist data:** `~/.openclaw/data/artists.json`
-- **Backoff state:** `~/.openclaw/soundcloud_backoff.json`
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `~/.openclaw/secrets/soundcloud.env` | Your API credentials |
+| `~/.openclaw/data/artists.json` | Tracked artists data |
+| `~/.openclaw/data/soundcloud_tracking.json` | Your account tracking data |
 
 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### Plugin not loading
-
-```bash
-openclaw plugins list
-openclaw gateway logs
-```
+### "Not configured" error
 
-Check that:
-- Plugin shows as `enabled: true` in list
-- Gateway logs don't show errors
+Check your credentials file exists and has correct format:
 
-Verify plugin directory exists:
 ```bash
-ls -la ~/.openclaw/extensions/soundcloud-watcher/
+cat ~/.openclaw/secrets/soundcloud.env
 ```
 
-### API rate limits
-
-If you hit rate limits:
-1. Increase `checkIntervalHours` in config (default: 6)
-2. Increase `dormantDays` to skip inactive artists sooner (default: 90)
-3. Check SoundCloud API status
-
-### No notifications
+Should contain:
+```
+SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_ID=...
+SOUNDCLOUD_CLIENT_SECRET=...
+MY_USERNAME=...
+```
 
-Check gateway session key in the plugin config (default is `agent:main:main`).
+### Plugin not loading
 
-Verify gateway is running:
 ```bash
-openclaw gateway status
+openclaw plugins list
 ```
 
-### Setup help
-
-Run `/soundcloud-setup` for detailed instructions with current config status.
+Should show `soundcloud-watcher` as `loaded`. If `disabled`:
 
-## Updating
-
-If installed via symlink (`-l`):
 ```bash
-cd /path/to/openclaw-soundcloud-watcher
-git pull
+openclaw plugins enable soundcloud-watcher
 openclaw gateway restart
 ```
 
-If installed from npm:
-```bash
-openclaw plugins install @akilles/soundcloud-watcher  # Gets latest
-openclaw gateway restart
-```
+### API rate limits
+
+The plugin handles rate limits automatically with exponential backoff. If issues persist, wait a few minutes and try again.

 ```bash
 openclaw plugins disable soundcloud-watcher
-openclaw plugins uninstall soundcloud-watcher
