Task Weight Manager
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This focus-management skill is coherent and low-risk, with only local conversation-state persistence and optional periodic focus checks to be aware of.
Install this if you want the agent to manage focus across multiple conversation threads. Be explicit when changing priorities, review any generated task-weight-manager files or HEARTBEAT.md, and avoid placing secrets in persistent thread notes.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The agent may briefly acknowledge and defer side topics unless you clearly say the priority has changed.
The skill is allowed to be invoked implicitly and is designed to steer attention back to a mainline task. This is purpose-aligned, but it can affect how the agent handles side requests.
allow_implicit_invocation: true ... "lock the mainline, and keep distractions parked unless they become urgent."
Use this skill only when you want focus-routing behavior, and state priority changes explicitly.
Project priorities, blockers, or snippets from the conversation may remain in local files after the chat.
The skill may persist conversation-derived thread summaries and evidence in a local workspace file. This is expected for task tracking, but the file may contain sensitive task context.
"evidence": the latest user turns that justify the classification ... maintain a small board at: `task-weight-manager/threads.md`
Review the generated board periodically, avoid storing secrets in it, and delete it when you no longer need the task state.
If you enable heartbeat or cron integration, the agent may periodically re-score threads and steer back to the mainline.
The reference describes optional heartbeat or cron-based periodic checks. This is disclosed and user-directed, but it can make the focus-management behavior recur automatically if enabled.
Use cron when the user wants a stronger periodic loop ... `Re-score current threads and return to the highest-weight mainline.`
Enable periodic automation only deliberately, choose conservative intervals, and inspect any generated HEARTBEAT.md instructions.
