eisenhower

eisenhower is a command for Claude Code from neurofoo/agent-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (748 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-sorting method that ranks work by two questions: is it urgent, and is it important? It places tasks into four groups: do now, schedule, delegate, or remove.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize tasks for a role, project, or time period. It helps decide what to handle immediately, plan for later, hand to someone else, or stop doing.
Why use it?
It separates genuine priorities from work that only feels pressing. This makes a long task list easier to act on.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

eisenhower scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Eisenhower Matrix Prioritization

Categorize tasks by urgency and importance to clarify what to do, schedule, delegate, or eliminate.

Instructions

Take the list of tasks provided and sort them into the four quadrants. Be honest about what's truly important (moves you toward goals) versus just urgent (feels pressing but may not matter).

Output Format

Context What role/area are we prioritizing for? What's the time horizon?
