Plan My Day

Generate an energy-optimized, time-blocked daily plan

Security Scan

An instruction-only productivity skill whose requested actions and requirements are internally consistent with a time-blocking planner and it requests no extra installs, credentials, or system access.

Purpose & Capability

Name and description (energy-optimized, time-blocked daily plans) match the SKILL.md instructions. The skill requests no binaries, env vars, or installs that would be unrelated to planning.

Instruction Scope

Instructions are high-level and ask the agent to 'check existing daily notes', 'review current priorities', and 'identify fixed commitments' — these are reasonable for a planner, but they implicitly allow the agent to access user data (notes, calendars, task lists). The SKILL.md does not specify exactly which data sources or how to access them, leaving broad discretion to the agent.

Install Mechanism

No install specification and no code files — instruction-only skills do not write files or fetch external code, which minimizes install risk.

Credentials

The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate for a planner that does not embed direct API calls or integrations.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and there is no request to persist or modify agent/system configuration. The skill does not request elevated or persistent presence.

Assessment

This is an instruction-only planner and appears coherent and low-risk by itself. However, it asks the agent to gather context (daily notes, priorities, fixed commitments), which implies the agent may read your calendars, notes, or task lists if given access. Before enabling or using it: (1) check what connectors/permissions your agent or platform will grant (calendar, drive, file system, task apps) and limit them to the minimum (prefer read-only, narrow scopes); (2) do an initial test with non-sensitive/example data to see what the agent reads; (3) if you do not want the agent to access personal files, remove or restrict those connectors; and (4) if you allow calendar access, prefer OAuth scopes that only expose free/busy or read-limited events rather than full write/delete rights.

Generate a clean, actionable hour-by-hour plan for the day based on current priorities and energy windows.

Usage

/plan-my-day [optional: YYYY-MM-DD for future date]

Planning Principles

1. Morning Priming - Protect your first hour for waking rituals, not tasks
2. Energy-Based Scheduling - Match task difficulty to energy levels
3. Time Blocking - Assign specific time windows to specific work
4. Top 3 Focus - Identify the 3 most important outcomes for the day

Energy Windows (Customize to Your Rhythm)

• Peak Performance: Morning (deep work, hardest tasks)
• Secondary Peak: Afternoon (focused work, meetings)
• Recovery Blocks: Breaks for exercise, meals, rest
• Wind Down: Evening (lighter tasks, planning)

Process

1. Gather Context

   • Check existing daily notes
   • Review current priorities
   • Identify fixed commitments (meetings, calls)
   • Check pending tasks from yesterday

2. Identify Top 3 Priorities

   • What MUST happen today?
   • What moves the needle most?
   • What has a deadline?

3. Build Time-Blocked Schedule

   • Assign priorities to peak energy windows
   • Block fixed commitments
   • Add buffer time between blocks
   • Include breaks and recovery

4. Apply Constraints

   • Respect existing appointments
   • Protect personal time
   • Include meal breaks
   • Don't over-schedule

Output Format

- [ ] Priority 2 done? **YES / NO**
- [ ] Priority 3 done? **YES / NO**

**What went well:**

**What got stuck:**

**Tomorrow's priority adjustment:**

Decision-Making Framework

Before doing ANYTHING, ask:

1. Is this one of my top 3 priorities?
2. Does this move me toward today's goal?
3. Can this wait until tomorrow?

If NO to all three → DON'T DO IT

Tips

• Don't schedule 100% of your time - leave 20% buffer
• Put your hardest task in your peak energy window
• Group similar tasks together (batching)
• Schedule breaks, don't just hope for them
• Review and adjust mid-day if needed
