eisenhower-matrix

eisenhower-matrix is a skill for Claude Code from fatihguner/foreman. It costs 97 tokens per session (3,238 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-prioritisation guide based on the Eisenhower Matrix, which sorts work by urgency and importance. It creates four choices: do now, schedule, delegate, or remove.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify competing tasks, decide what deserves immediate attention, plan important non-urgent work, and identify work to hand off or drop.
Why use it?
It separates genuinely important work from noisy urgent requests, helping prevent a crowded task list from controlling the whole day.

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-matrix 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 4d 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.

Eisenhower Matrix

"What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important." Dwight D. Eisenhower -- Supreme Allied Commander, thirty-fourth President of the United States, and, by all accounts, a man who managed an extraordinary volume of consequential decisions with unusual composure -- reportedly used this distinction as the organizing principle of his workday. Whether he originated the insight or merely popularized it is debated, but its utility is not. The Eisenhower Matrix (later refined and popularized by Stephen Covey) remains the most widely used prioritization framework in business, and for good reason: it forces a binary distinction that most people instinctively resist. Urgency and importance are different dimensions, and confusing them is the single most common cause of strategic drift in entrepreneurial ventures.


The Framework

The 2x2 Matrix

The matrix classifies every task, decision, or demand on your time into one of four quadrants based on two independent dimensions: urgency (does it demand immediate attention?) and importance (does it contribute to your mission, goals, or values?).

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.
