What it does
Alive Health is an agent skill from alivecontext/alive. Flag walnuts past their rhythm -- health check for the world
Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks. The repository describes itself as: Personal Context Manager for Claude Code. Your life in walnuts. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Scheduled and recurring tasks
Example prompts
- “/alive-health”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read _kernel/key.md frontmatter for rhythm
- Read _kernel/now.json for updated: timestamp
- Calculate days since last update
- Compare against rhythm
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fc74320. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Alive Health loads about 336 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Health Check
Flag walnuts that are past their rhythm.
Process
For each non-archive walnut:
- Read
_kernel/key.mdfrontmatter forrhythm: - Read
_kernel/now.jsonforupdated:timestamp - Calculate days since last update
- Compare against rhythm:
- daily: 1 day
- weekly: 7 days
- biweekly: 14 days
- monthly: 30 days
Health Signals
- active -- within rhythm (skip)
- quiet -- 1-2x past rhythm (note)
- waiting -- 2x+ past rhythm (flag)
Output
If all walnuts are healthy: [SILENT]
If issues found:
Health Check -- [date]
WAITING (past 2x rhythm):
[walnut] -- [N] days (rhythm: weekly) -- last: [date]
[walnut] -- [N] days (rhythm: daily) -- last: [date]
QUIET (past rhythm):
[walnut] -- [N] days (rhythm: weekly)
[N] walnuts healthy, [M] need attention.Rules
- Only flag waiting (2x+) and quiet (1x-2x)
- Skip archive, skip inbox
- Skip people walnuts (they get nudges from alive-people instead)
- Keep brief -- this is a notification, not a report
