Task Planner

Use this skill when the user wants help organizing work into a schedule.

Workflow

1. Gather the planning window, available hours, deadlines, and any fixed meetings or blocked days.
2. Group the work into concrete tasks with estimated effort and priority.
3. Produce a schedule that is realistic, not just complete.
4. Flag overflow, risky deadlines, and missing information.

Output Format

Return the plan in markdown with these sections:

• Summary
• Schedule
• Follow-Ups
• Risks

For each scheduled item, include:

• task name
• planned date
• estimated effort
• short reason for placement

Scheduling Rules

• Put urgent and high-priority work first.
• Avoid filling a day past the stated hour limit.
• Break large work into smaller steps when that makes the plan easier to follow.
• Keep at least one buffer slot when the schedule is tight.
• Call out tasks that do not fit inside the requested window.

Script Assist

When the user provides structured JSON tasks, you can use:

python .\scripts\build_schedule.py --input <tasks.json>

The script builds a first-pass markdown schedule that you can refine in your response.
