Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00024 | $0.01351 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00675 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00270 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00135 |
Grade A, and why
the-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 8d 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.
How it starts

The Eisenhower Matrix
Overview
Categorize tasks into 4 quadrants by two axes — urgency (must be done now?) and importance (contributes to goals?). Each quadrant dictates a default action.
URGENT NOT URGENT
┌──────────────┬──────────────────┐
IMPORTANT │ Q1: DO │ Q2: SCHEDULE │
│ (Crisis) │ (Growth) │
├──────────────┼──────────────────┤
NOT │ Q3: DELEGATE│ Q4: ELIMINATE │
IMPORTANT │ (Interrupt) │ (Time wasters) │
└──────────────┴──────────────────┘
Quadrant Definitions
| Quadrant | Label | Action | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | Urgent + Important | Do now | Deadline crisis, medical emergency, broken prod |
| Q2 | Not Urgent + Important | Schedule | Strategy, learning, relationship building, prevention |
| Q3 | Urgent + Not Important | Delegate | Most meetings, most emails, interruptions |
| Q4 | Not Urgent + Not Important | Eliminate | Mindless browsing, trivial tasks, busy work |
How to Apply
Step 1 — Collect
List all tasks, obligations, and items competing for your attention.
Step 2 — Classify
For each item ask:
- Urgent? Does this require immediate action? Will delay cause measurable harm?
- Important? Does this advance your key goals, mission, or long-term outcomes?
Step 3 — Act by quadrant
- Q1: Do immediately. Minimize by investing in Q2 (prevention).
- Q2: Block time on your calendar. Protect this time aggressively — this is where leverage lives.
- Q3: Hand off. If you can't delegate, batch and timebox.
- Q4: Cut ruthlessly. Track Q4 time to reveal patterns.
Step 4 — Review
Revisit weekly. A healthy matrix has most time in Q2, minimal Q1 (fires), and shrinking Q3/Q4.
Key Insight
Most people live in Q1 and Q3 — reactive, urgent-driven. High performers live in Q2 — proactive, prevention-focused. Q2 investment reduces Q1 over time.
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.

the-eisenhower-matrix is a skill published in the GitHub repository tupe12334/instinct (1 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,351 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
alive:system-cleanup
The world feels messy. Stale tasks, orphan folders, v2 remnants, unsaved sessions — entropy is accumulating and needs to be addressed before it compounds. Scans across all walnuts, then surfaces issues one at a time.
alive:world
The human doesn't know what to work on, or wants to see everything at once. They need the big picture — what's active, what's stale, what needs attention. Renders a live world view grouped by ALIVE domain, then routes to open, tidy, find, history, or map.
alive:bundle
Create, share, and graduate bundles — the unit of focused work within a walnut. Manages the full bundle lifecycle from creation through sharing to graduation.
alive:settings
The human wants to adjust how the system behaves — not what it contains, but how it feels. Voice, rhythm, preferences, walnut-level config, full permissions toggleable, named squirrel config, action logging toggle. The system adapting to them. Routes to preferences.yaml or walnut config.yaml depending on scope. For…

Configure token budget limits, auto-compact settings, and view current budget status (model-aware — Claude 5 lineup, Opus 5 default fallback, full 1M context at standard price).
