alive-morning

alive-morning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alivecontext/alive. It costs 24 tokens per session (414 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A morning summary for a personal knowledge system organised into sections called walnuts. It reads their current states and reports priorities, waiting work, inbox items, saved items, unsaved sessions, and relevant people reminders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate a daily briefing with urgent tasks, active work, overdue areas, inbox and stash counts, unsaved sessions, and reminders about close contacts.
Why use it?
It puts the day's important follow-ups in one short briefing instead of requiring a manual scan of every section. It highlights inactive or overdue areas while skipping healthy ones.

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

alive-morning 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Morning Briefing

Read all active walnuts. Surface what matters. Deliver to Telegram.

Process

  1. Find world root (check ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT, ~/world, iCloud path)
  2. Read _kernel/now.json for every non-archive walnut
  3. Calculate health signals (active/quiet/waiting) from rhythm + updated date
  4. Check .alive/stash.json for unrouted items
  5. Check 03_Inbox/ for unrouted files
  6. Check .alive/_squirrels/ for unsaved sessions

Output Format

Morning -- [date]

PRIORITY
[walnut]: [top urgent task]
[walnut]: [top urgent task]

ACTIVE
[walnut] [phase] [top urgent or active task]
[walnut] [phase] [top urgent or active task]

NEEDS ATTENTION
[walnut] waiting [N] days past [rhythm]
[walnut] [N] urgent tasks

INBOX: [N] unrouted files
STASH: [N] pending items
UNSAVED: [N] sessions

Reply with a walnut name to get details.

Rules

  • Keep output under 500 words -- this is a briefing, not a report
  • Only surface walnuts that need attention (active with urgents, or past rhythm)
  • Skip healthy walnuts with no action items
  • People nudges only for close contacts (inner circle) past 2 weeks
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
