Activitywatch Group

Build ActivityWatch workflow groups

Goal

Discover stable groups of applications, windows, domains, and editor contexts that can become useful workspace, launcher, or reporting categories.

Workflow

1. Inspect repeated app/title/domain patterns and their co-occurrence over time. Use a bounded sample and mark sparse or ambiguous patterns.
2. Propose group names with explicit membership rules, exclusions, and precedence. Prefer WM_CLASS/app identity first and title/domain matching only where it is stable.
3. Check collisions: AI, messenger, games, media, browser, editor, and project rules must have a documented precedence instead of competing catch-all regexes.
4. Present the proposed groups for approval. If accepted, edit the canonical Qtile/literate source or other owning dotfiles source, regenerate outputs, run tests, and verify the live behavior.

Rules

• Do not move windows, create groups, or edit dotfiles during discovery alone.
• Keep raw titles, URLs, prompts, and path names out of committed rules.
• Prefer narrow rules with negative examples over broad words such as chat, work, or video that create false positives.
• Preserve existing group labels, ownership, and event-loop responsiveness.
