Today's Agent Skill: Daily Priority Planner
What It Does
Most small business owners start the day with a chaotic list of tasks and no clear order of attack — which means urgent fires crowd out the important work that actually grows the business. This skill transforms your raw daily task list into a structured, time-blocked plan that puts your highest-leverage work first.
How It Works
The agent takes your raw list of tasks, meetings, and deadlines, estimates time required for each, then outputs a prioritized daily schedule using an urgency-and-importance matrix combined with time-blocking. It flags anything that overloads the day so you can delegate or defer before things derail.
How to Deploy It
Drop the SKILL.md into your agent's skills folder. Each morning, paste or dictate your task list and the agent returns a ready-to-follow plan in seconds. Works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and Windsurf. For automated daily delivery, wire it to a calendar webhook to pull today's meetings automatically.

## Description
Convert a raw list of tasks, meetings, and deadlines into a time-blocked, priority-ordered daily schedule using an urgency and importance matrix.
## Trigger
User shares a list of tasks and asks for a daily plan, schedule, or priority order for the day.
## Input
- tasks: Array of task descriptions (e.g., "Call vendor about shipping delay", "Review Q2 profit report", "Reply to three customer emails")
- deadlines: Optional list of hard deadlines tied to specific tasks
- available_hours: Start and end time of the workday (default: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM)
- meetings: Optional list of already-scheduled meetings with their times
## Steps
1. Classify each task as Priority A (Urgent + Important), B (Important, not urgent), C (Urgent, not important), or D (Neither — delegate or defer).
2. Estimate time for each task: default 30 minutes for simple tasks, 90 minutes for complex analysis or writing tasks.
3. Block off scheduled meetings first. Place Priority A tasks in the first available focused block of the morning.
4. Group Priority B tasks into 60–90 minute focused work blocks.
5. Batch Priority C tasks (quick admin, short replies) into one 30-minute block after lunch.
