What it does

Alive Project is an agent skill from alivecontext/alive. Regenerate now.json projections for all walnuts (mechanical, no approval needed)

Its SKILL.md is about 300 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-project”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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 Project loads about 299 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 54 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~299

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.

Project Regeneration

Mechanical: regenerate _kernel/now.json for all walnuts. No approval needed -- this is computation from existing sources.

Process

bash
# Find world root
WORLD="${ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT:-$HOME/world}"

# Run projection for all walnuts
python3 "$WORLD/.alive/scripts/project.py" --all

# Regenerate world index
python3 "$WORLD/.alive/scripts/generate-index.py"

Output

Report only if errors occurred. Otherwise silent ([SILENT]).

[SILENT]
Projections regenerated for [N] walnuts. No errors.

If errors:

Projection errors:
  [walnut]: [error message]
  [walnut]: [error message]

[N] walnuts projected successfully, [M] errors.

Autonomy

This cron is fully autonomous. It reads existing source files (log.md, bundle manifests, tasks.json) and computes now.json. No decisions, no writes to human-authored files.
