eisenhower-matrix

eisenhower-matrix is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills. It costs 101 tokens per session (4,406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prioritisation method that sorts tasks by two questions: how important they are and how urgent they are. The Eisenhower Matrix creates four groups, including tasks to do, schedule, delegate, or drop.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for daily triage, weekly planning, delegation, deciding what to decline, and reducing reactive firefighting.
Why use it?
It helps when every task feels urgent and important work is being crowded out. The method makes trade-offs and delegation decisions easier to see.

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 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.

Eisenhower Matrix

"What is important is seldom urgent and what is urgent is seldom important." Master Dwight D. Eisenhower's prioritization framework to focus on what truly matters.

When to Use This Skill

  • Feeling overwhelmed by too many tasks and not enough time
  • Weekly planning to set priorities for the week ahead
  • Daily triage when everything seems urgent
  • Delegation decisions to identify what others should handle
  • Saying no by recognizing tasks that shouldn't be done at all
  • Breaking reactive cycles when you're always firefighting

Methodology Foundation

Aspect Details
Source Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969), 34th US President, Supreme Allied Commander
Expert Eisenhower managed WWII logistics and two presidential terms using this mental model
Core Principle Separate the truly important from the merely urgent. Most people confuse the two and spend their lives on urgent-but-unimportant tasks.
