What it does

Alive Mine is an agent skill from alivecontext/alive. Nightly scan of session transcripts -- extract decisions, tasks, people, insights

Its SKILL.md is about 360 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-mine”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Find session transcripts from the last 24 hours
For each session entry
Group extractions by destination walnut
Write to .alive/stash.json with routing suggestions (don't route directly)

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 (its code samples are bash).
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 Mine loads about 356 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 115 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~356

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.

version: 1.0.0

Nightly Mine

Scan recent session transcripts for unmined context.

Process

Find session transcripts from the last 24 hours:

bash

find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/_squirrels" -name "*.yaml" -mtime -1 2>/dev/null

For each session entry:
- Read the YAML for transcript: path
- If transcript exists and hasn't been mined, read it
- Extract: decisions, tasks, people context, insights, quotes
Group extractions by destination walnut
Write to .alive/stash.json with routing suggestions (don't route directly)

Output

Mined [N] sessions, extracted [M] items:
  [N] decisions
  [N] tasks
  [N] people updates
  [N] insights
  [N] quotes

Items added to stash for routing via alive-stash-router.

If nothing found: [SILENT]

Rules

Extract, don't route. Items go to stash for human approval.
Mark sessions as mined (touch a .mined flag file alongside the YAML)
Skip sessions that are already mined
Skip sessions shorter than 5 turns (likely trivial)
Be conservative -- only extract clear decisions and explicit tasks, not inferences
