## 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

```json
[
  {"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:

• "Add a task" / "add a task" → create
• "What should I do today" / "what should I do today" → priority
• "Done" / "done" / "mark complete" → complete
• "Show projects" / "show projects" → projects
• "Task overview" → 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
