name	generate-daily-tasks
description	Generate an ordered list of daily study tasks tailored to the learner's current week focus, recent performance, and available time.

generate-daily-tasks

When to Use

Invoke this skill each time a learner runs /jp-today. It reads the learner's profile and current week plan to produce a concrete, time-bounded task list for today.

Inputs

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
user_profile	object	yes	Full user record from storage/users.json
current_week	object	yes	Current week object from the study plan (output of build-study-plan)
recent_progress	object	yes	User's progress record from storage/progress.json
available_minutes	integer	yes	Time the learner has today (defaults to user_profile.daily_minutes)

Outputs

An ordered array of task objects:

Field	Type	Description
task_id	string	Unique ID for today's session: {type}_{content_ref}_{YYYYMMDD}
type	string	Task type: "vocab", "grammar", "listening", "shadowing", "speaking"
content_ref	string	ID of the item in data/*.json to use
estimated_minutes	integer	Time allocation for this task
priority	string	"core" (must do) or "bonus" (if time allows)

Logic

Time Budget Allocation

Time is distributed proportionally to the week's focus_area:

• vocab+listening week: 40% vocab, 35% listening, 15% grammar, 10% speaking
• grammar+shadowing week: 30% grammar, 30% shadowing, 20% vocab, 20% speaking
• speaking+review week: 40% speaking, 20% shadowing, 20% vocab, 20% review

Round to nearest 5-minute block. Any remainder becomes bonus time.

Task Ordering

Tasks are ordered to optimize learning flow:

1. Warm-up: short vocab review (5 min max)
2. Core skill: primary focus of the week (longest block)
3. Secondary skill: second priority
4. Cool-down: speaking or self-reflection (5–10 min)

Carry-Forward

If yesterday's daily_state.carry_forward_recommendation exists, prepend a short review task targeting those weak points before the warm-up.

Item Selection

• Vocab: delegate to select-vocab-items with recent_mistakes from progress
• Grammar: delegate to select-grammar-items with current week focus
• Listening: delegate to generate-listening-drill matching topic and level
• Shadowing: delegate to generate-shadowing-drill from the same listening item
• Speaking: delegate to generate-speaking-prompt matching topic

Example

Input:

{
  "user_profile": { "level": "N5", "daily_minutes": 30, "focus_topics": ["travel"] },
  "current_week": { "week_index": 3, "focus_area": "vocab+listening", "target_vocab_count": 7 },
  "recent_progress": { "recurring_mistakes": [{"pattern": "は vs が"}] },
  "available_minutes": 30
}

Output:

[
  { "task_id": "vocab_003_20260413", "type": "vocab", "content_ref": "vocab_003", "estimated_minutes": 10, "priority": "core" },
  { "task_id": "listen_001_20260413", "type": "listening", "content_ref": "listen_001", "estimated_minutes": 15, "priority": "core" },
  { "task_id": "speak_001_20260413", "type": "speaking", "content_ref": "speak_001", "estimated_minutes": 5, "priority": "bonus" }
