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
