At a glance

Helps managers cut through noise and identify their highest-leverage actions for the day or week.

  • Works in 6 steps: Determine Scope → Load Goals → Gather Signals → …
  • Tasks that involve OKRs and executive reporting
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Instructions and Important Notes
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Priority Planner is an agent skill from techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit. Helps managers cut through noise and identify their highest-leverage actions for the day or week. Aggregates signals from calendar, triage, team context, and OKRs/goals. Presents a suggested focus list grouped by urgency, importance, and investment. The manager reviews and adjusts. Supports effective execution and prioritisation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/operating-principles.md` and `references/output-template.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering OKRs and executive reporting and Prioritization frameworks. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude Code skills and Codex skills for AI-first work. Audit, re-engineer, and bootstrap projects with AI-first design principles. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve OKRs and executive reporting
  • Tasks that involve Prioritization frameworks

Example prompts

  • “Use the priority-planner skill to help managers cut through noise and identify their highest-leverage actions for the day or week”
  • “/priority-planner”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine Scope
  2. Load Goals
  3. Gather Signals
  4. Categorise into Buckets
  5. Produce the Plan
  6. Present and Iterate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ee7841. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Priority Planner loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Helps managers cut through noise and identify their highest-leverage actions for the day or week. Aggregates signals from calendar, triage, team context, and OKRs/goals. Presents a suggested focus list grouped by urgency, importance, and investment. The manager reviews and adjusts. Supports effective execution and prioritisation.

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

Notion:

  • Search for OKRs, quarterly goals, team priorities docs
  • Any pages tagged with deadlines or milestones

Slack:

  • Threads where the manager promised to follow up
  • Open questions directed at the manager
Show full SKILL.md (256 more words)Show less
4. Categorise into Buckets

Group everything into three categories (inspired by Eisenhower):

🔴 Urgent: Time-Sensitive Decisions Things where someone is blocked or a deadline is imminent:

  • Decisions only the manager can make
  • Escalations that need resolution today
  • Deadlines within 24-48 hours
  • Framework: Execution

🟡 Important: High-Impact Work Things that move OKRs and team goals forward:

  • Strategic work (planning, decision-making, alignment)
  • Cross-functional alignment needed
  • Customer-related actions that affect account health
  • Framework: Delegation & Execution

🟢 Invest: Development & Strategic Thinking Things that compound over time but rarely feel urgent:

  • 1:1 preparation and development conversations
  • Team health check-ins
  • Hiring pipeline attention
  • Strategic thinking and planning
  • Framework: People Development
5. Produce the Plan

Read references/output-template.md for the full output template structure.

6. Present and Iterate
Here's a suggested priority plan. This is a starting point. Adjust based on your judgment. Want me to:
- Move anything between categories?
- Add something I missed?
- Prep for any of these items?

Important Notes

Read references/operating-principles.md for shared operating principles (data scope, DM flagging, signals vs diagnoses, connector unavailability).

Additional notes specific to this skill:

  • Never prescribe. Use "I'd suggest", "Consider". The manager knows context the tool doesn't.
  • The Invest bucket is crucial. Don't let it be empty. Great managers always invest time in development, even when busy.
  • Connect to frameworks. Note which management framework dimension (from manager-context/management-framework.md) an action supports.
  • Don't just list everything. The "What I'd Deprioritise" section is often more valuable than the priority list itself.
  • Time-box awareness. If the calendar is packed, don't suggest 8 hours of focus work. Be realistic.
  • Goal alignment is the core insight. If there's persistent drift between daily activity and goals, say so clearly.
  • Be honest about drift. Don't sugarcoat. If 80% of time is reactive and 0% on OKRs, name it.
