digital-stoic-org GTD Focus
Scan all project files, rank unchecked tasks, return today's top 3-5. Read-only — no writes to vault.
Instructions
- Get today's date (ISO format YYYY-MM-DD)
- Read today's coaching pulse (optional):
/home/mat/dev/gtd-pcm/06-coaching/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md- Extract
energy:field (1-10). If file missing or field absent, skip energy filter.
- Extract
- Glob all project task files:
03-projects/*/01-*.mdunder/home/mat/dev/gtd-pcm/ - Read ALL matched files in parallel (single message, multiple Read calls). Parse unchecked tasks (
- [ ] ...) with section + tags. - Score each task (see Ranking Algorithm)
- If pulse available: apply energy filter
- Sort descending, take top 3-5
- Output focus list with staleness flags
Ranking Algorithm
Score = project_priority × section_weight × tag_weight
| Factor | Key | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| project_priority (folder NN) | 01–09 | 1.0 |
| 10–19 | 0.8 | |
| 20–29 | 0.6 | |
| 30–39 | 0.4 | |
| 50–59 | 0.2 | |
| section_weight (header) | ## Top / ## Today / ## Frog |
1.0 |
## Next Actions / ## Next |
0.8 | |
## Soon / ## This Week |
0.5 | |
## Backlog / other |
0.2 | |
| tag_weight (task tags) | #frog |
1.5 |
#next |
1.2 | |

1.0 (energy-filtered) | |
#braindead |
0.8 | |
#waiting |
0.3 | |
| no tag | 1.0 |
Staleness: [created:: YYYY-MM-DD] age ≥ 14d → append ⚠️. Missing date → skip (no error).
Energy filter: Pulse energy ≤ 3 → exclude #deep tasks.
Output Format
## 🎯 Focus for YYYY-MM-DD
1. Task description ⚠️ (if stale)
📁 03-projects/NN-name/01-name.md | score: X.XX | #tags
2. Task description
📁 03-projects/NN-name/01-name.md | score: X.XX | #tags
...
Show source project path for every task. Include score for transparency.
If pulse read: show Energy: N/10 header line.
If no tasks found: report "No unchecked tasks found in projects."
Constraints
- Read-only: Never write, edit, or create any file
- Top 3 minimum, top 5 maximum
- Skip completed tasks (
- [x]) - Skip waiting tasks (
#waiting) unless no other tasks available
