Quadrants Skill

Manage tasks on the Quadrants Eisenhower Matrix (quadrants.ch) from OpenClaw.

Requires env vars in the skill config or TOOLS.md:

QUADRANTS_API_URL — Base URL (default: https://quadrants.ch)
QUADRANTS_API_KEY — Service API key for authenticated access

Available Commands

Use the scripts/quadrants-cli.sh script for all operations:

# List projects
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh projects

# Get project tasks (with project ID)
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh tasks <projectId>

# Get priority tasks (top 5 across all projects)
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh priority

# Create a task
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh create <projectId> "<description>" <urgency> <importance>

# Bulk create tasks (JSON array)
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh bulk-create <projectId> '<json-tasks>'

# Complete a task
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh complete <taskId>

# Update a task
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh update <taskId> '{"urgency": 80, "importance": 90}'

# Delete a task
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh delete <taskId>

# Get project overview (summary with quadrant distribution)
bash skills/quadrants/scripts/quadrants-cli.sh overview <projectId>

Quadrant Reference

The Eisenhower Matrix has 4 quadrants based on urgency (0-100) and importance (0-100):

Quadrant	Urgency	Importance	Action
Q1: Do First	High (>50)	High (>50)	Urgent + Important → Do immediately
Q2: Schedule	Low (≤50)	High (>50)	Not Urgent + Important → Plan for later
Q3: Delegate	High (>50)	Low (≤50)	Urgent + Not Important → Delegate
Q4: Eliminate	Low (≤50)	Low (≤50)	Not Urgent + Not Important → Drop it

Task Format for Bulk Create

[
  {"description": "Fix login bug", "urgency": 90, "importance": 85},
  {"description": "Update docs", "urgency": 30, "importance": 70}
]

Integration with OpenClaw

Heartbeat Check

Add to HEARTBEAT.md to periodically check priority tasks:

Check Quadrants priority tasks and remind user of urgent items

Cron Reminder

Schedule daily task briefings via cron jobs.

Natural Language Mapping

When users say things like:

"加个任务" / "add a task" → create
"今天做什么" / "what should I do today" → priority
"完成了" / "done" / "mark complete" → complete
"看看项目" / "show projects" → projects
"任务概览" → overview

Infer urgency/importance from context when not specified:

Bug fixes, deadlines → high urgency
Strategy, planning → high importance, low urgency
Nice-to-have → low both
