Plan My Day

When to Activate

User wants to plan their day, asks "what should I focus on today", wants a daily briefing, or says "plan my day".

Overview

This skill orchestrates across multiple providers to build a complete picture of the user's day. It synthesizes calendar events, pending tasks, sprint issues, and pending reviews into one actionable plan.

Tools Used

Google Calendar: GOOGLECALENDAR_CUSTOM_GET_DAY_SUMMARY, GOOGLECALENDAR_CUSTOM_FETCH_EVENTS
Todoist: TODOIST_GET_ALL_TASKS
Linear: LINEAR_CUSTOM_GET_MY_TASKS, LINEAR_CUSTOM_GET_ACTIVE_SPRINT
GitHub: GITHUB_SEARCH_ISSUES_AND_PULL_REQUESTS

Step 1: Gather Calendar Context

Ask the calendar agent for today's schedule:

Tool: GOOGLECALENDAR_CUSTOM_GET_DAY_SUMMARY
→ Today's meetings, free slots, conflicts

Or manually:

GOOGLECALENDAR_CUSTOM_FETCH_EVENTS(
  time_min="today 00:00",
  time_max="today 23:59"
)

Extract:

Meeting count and total meeting hours
Free time blocks (available for deep work)
Any conflicts or back-to-back meetings

Phase 1: Context Gathering

Calendar: Call GOOGLECALENDAR_CUSTOM_GET_DAY_SUMMARY to get the user's schedule, next event, and busy hours for today.
Todos: Call TODOIST_GET_ALL_TASKS with filter="overdue | today" to get high-priority tasks.
Linear: Call LINEAR_CUSTOM_GET_MY_TASKS to see active issues assigned to the user.
GitHub: Call GITHUB_SEARCH_ISSUES_AND_PULL_REQUESTS with q="assignee:me state:open" if GitHub integration is active.

Step 2: Gather Task Context

Todoist/Todo tasks due today:

TODOIST_GET_ALL_TASKS(filter="today | overdue")

Linear issues assigned to me:

LINEAR_CUSTOM_GET_MY_TASKS → in-progress and upcoming issues

GitHub PRs needing review (if available):

Check for assigned PRs or review requests

Step 3: Identify Priorities

Score each item by urgency × importance:

Signal	Score
Overdue task/issue	Critical
Due today	High
Blocked by others waiting on me	High
Sprint deadline approaching	Medium
Scheduled meeting prep needed	Medium
Due this week	Normal
No deadline	Low

Step 4: Build the Daily Plan

Structure by time blocks:

Your Day — Monday, Feb 24

Schedule:
  09:00-09:30  Morning routine + review this plan
  09:30-10:00  Fix auth bug (GEN-142) — overdue, blocking team
  10:00-11:00  Sprint Planning (meeting)
  11:00-12:30  API redesign (GEN-201) — deep work block
  12:30-13:30  Lunch
  13:30-14:00  Review Sarah's PR (#345) — requested 2 days ago
  14:00-15:00  1:1 with Alex (meeting)
  15:00-16:30  Todoist: Prepare Q1 report (due today)
  16:30-17:00  Process inbox + respond to messages

Summary:
  Meetings: 2 (1.5 hours)
  Deep work: 3 hours available
  Tasks due: 4 (2 overdue, 2 today)
  Reviews pending: 1

Top 3 Priorities:
  1. Fix auth bug GEN-142 (overdue, urgent)
  2. Todoist: Q1 report (due today)
  3. Review PR #345 (blocking Sarah)

Tip: Your 11:00-12:30 block is your longest uninterrupted time.
   Use it for the API redesign which needs focused attention.

Step 5: Handle Gaps

If a provider isn't connected:

Skip gracefully: "I couldn't access your GitHub — connect it for PR review tracking"
Still provide value from available providers

If calendar is empty:

Suggest time blocking based on task priorities

Presentation Style

Always organize by time (morning → afternoon → evening)
Use text formatting for visual scanning
Bold the top 3 priorities
Include total meeting hours vs deep work hours
End with an actionable tip

Anti-Patterns

Just listing tasks without time-blocking
Ignoring meetings when suggesting focus blocks
Not flagging overdue items prominently
Creating a plan without considering available free time
Listing 20+ items (focus on top priorities, group the rest)
