It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management and 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 Email management
- Tasks that involve Scheduled and recurring tasks
Example prompts
- “/alive-morning”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Find world root (check ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT, ~/world, iCloud path)
- Read _kernel/now.json for every non-archive walnut
- Calculate health signals (active/quiet/waiting) from rhythm + updated date
- Check .alive/stash.json for unrouted items
- Check 03_Inbox/ for unrouted files
- Check .alive/_squirrels/ for unsaved sessions
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 Morning loads about 370 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 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.
