What it does

Alive Stash Router is an agent skill from alivecontext/alive. Present pending stash items grouped by destination walnut for approval

Its SKILL.md is about 400 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-stash-router”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read .alive/stash.json
  2. Group items by destination walnut
  3. Present for approval

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 Stash Router loads about 399 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 104 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~399

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.

Stash Router

Present unrouted stash items for approval.

Process

  1. Read .alive/stash.json:
bash
cat "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/stash.json" 2>/dev/null
  1. Group items by destination walnut
  2. Present for approval

Output

If no pending items: [SILENT]

If items found:

Stash: [N] unrouted items

[walnut-name]:
  1. [decision] "content preview..."
  2. [task] "content preview..."

[other-walnut]:
  3. [note] "content preview..."

[[person-name]]:
  4. [note] "content preview..."

No destination:
  5. [insight_candidate] "content preview..."

Reply with numbers to route. "all" to approve all. "drop 3,5" to remove items.

Routing

When approved:

  • decision -> prepend to walnut's _kernel/log.md
  • task -> python3 tasks.py add --walnut [path] --title "[content]"
  • note -> prepend to walnut's _kernel/log.md as a note entry
  • insight_candidate -> append to walnut's _kernel/insights.md (after confirmation)
  • People tagged items -> route to person walnut's log

After routing, remove items from .alive/stash.json.

Rules

  • Items ignored for 7+ days get flagged in morning briefing
  • Never auto-route. Always present and wait for approval.
  • Bulk clear: "clear all" removes everything without routing
