priority-planner

A planning skill that helps managers choose the most important actions for the day or week. It combines calendar events, tasks, team context, goals, and other signals, then proposes priorities for the manager to review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a day or week, decide what to focus on when overwhelmed, or fold new tasks and information into existing priorities.
Why use it?
It reduces overload by separating urgent work from important work and by connecting daily choices to broader goals.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

priority-planner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Priority Planner

Principle: "You are responsible." The skill proposes, the manager decides. This is not a task manager. It's a thinking partner for prioritisation.

Aggregates signals from multiple sources to surface the manager's highest-leverage actions.

When to Use

  • Start of day: "what should I focus on today?"
  • Start of week: "plan my week"
  • When overwhelmed: "help me prioritise"
  • After a triage: "fold these into my priorities"

Instructions

If any MCP connector is unavailable, follow the connector unavailability protocol in references/operating-principles.md.

1. Determine Scope

Ask or infer whether this is a daily or weekly plan:

  • Daily: focus on today's calendar, current triage, immediate needs
  • Weekly: broader view including upcoming deadlines, OKRs, team development

2. Load Goals

Before gathering signals, load the manager's goals. These are the lens through which everything gets prioritised.

From manager-context/manager-goals.md:

  • The manager's own OKRs and goals
  • Their manager's key priorities
  • Upcoming personal milestones and deadlines

From Notion/Drive (if goals location is known):

  • Pull the latest version of OKRs in case they've been updated since setup

If no goals are found:

⚠️ I don't have your goals on file. Without them I can prioritise by urgency, but not by impact alignment.
Run /setup or tell me your current OKRs so I can connect your priorities to what matters most.

3. Gather Signals

Pull from multiple sources:

Calendar (today or this week):

  • Meetings scheduled and their topics
  • Free blocks (potential focus time)
  • Deadlines tied to calendar events

Triage results (if /triage-messages was recently run):

  • Any 🔴 "Needs Decision" items still unresolved
  • 🟡 Team needs awaiting attention
  • Customer items flagged

Manager Context (from manager-context/):

  • Team members' current projects and any known blockers
  • Development conversations due
  • 1:1s this week and prep status
  • Triage rules (VIPs, hot channels) from triage-rules.md

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
