plan-today

Build today's plan from your priorities, active work, and your stated planning preferences.

What this does

• Reads your priorities, work, and recent signals.
• Honors your planning preferences (plan style, priority count, time blocks, frog definition).
• Proposes focused work blocks and one explicit non-priority.
• Names one "frog", the task you'd avoid otherwise.

What this doesn't do

• It does not write a daily note, that is /today. Use /today when you want to save the plan and close it out at the end of the day.
• It does not read your calendar or email unless a plugin has captured signals.
• It does not second-guess your priorities. If they are wrong, invoke ["interview"] first through the current host-managed candidate_invocation.

How to use it

Try saying:

• "plan my day"
• "what should I work on today?"
• "build me today's plan"

Agent steps

Read

1. prompt.md in this skill directory if present, compiled by ["interview"] through the current host-managed candidate_invocation. Launch its executable with its argv_prefix plus the shown arguments, without a shell; stop if the object is absent. Prefer the prompt over reading individual context files.
2. Invoke ["brief","--compact"] to receive the bounded identity, priorities, work, and recent-memory projection. If the work is project-scoped, append "--project","<slug-or-id>".
3. If prompt.md is missing, use the identity, priorities, and active-work sections from that projection as the fallback context.

Process

• Identify active priorities and deadlines.
• Honor the planning preferences from prompt.md (plan style, priority count, time blocks, frog definition).
• Separate urgent obligations from compounding work.
• Propose the number of focused work blocks the preferences request (default 1-3).
• Name one explicit non-priority to avoid.

Output

Return a short plan with:

• today's focus
• the work blocks
• any dependency or missing context
