attention-firewall
attention-firewall (CLI: fw) is an open-source, local-first tool that helps
one knowledge worker measure and protect their bandwidth. It is inspired by
Cal Newport's Slow Productivity and implements his pull-based, two-column
project management style: a hard-capped Active column of slots for the
things you are actually working on, and a Holding column for everything
else that has been asked of you. Work is pulled into an active slot when one
opens. It is never pushed in by whoever asked loudest. The tool exists for the
people who get invited onto every project and need an honest number to answer
"when can you take this?" with a date instead of a yes.
Install
uv tool install attention-firewall
fw --version
Contributing
The project uses uv for everything. Never pip.
uv sync --locked
uv run pre-commit install
Every commit runs ruff, pytest (with a 70% coverage floor), and detect-secrets
through pre-commit. CI runs the same hooks. See AGENTS.md for the full rules
of engagement.
