Agent Skills: Task Prioritization Skill

Task Prioritization Skill

Manually run the Task Prioritization agent to recalculate priority scores for all active tasks.

When to use

• User asks to "update task priorities"
• User asks "what are my top priorities" (run this first, then show results)
• After bulk task changes (many deadlines changed, new blockers added, etc.)
• To preview priority changes before they auto-run

How to execute

Step 1: Run agent

cd $AGENTS_PATH/task-prioritization

# Preview changes (recommended first)
python3 task_prioritization_agent.py --dry-run --verbose

# Apply changes
python3 task_prioritization_agent.py

Step 2: Review output

Agent will show:

• Total tasks processed
• Number of significant changes
• Top 5 tasks by priority
• Telegram notification if critical changes

Step 3: Show user results

Read top tasks from CSV and present:

# Read updated priorities
head -20 $PM_PATH/pm_tasks_master.csv

Sort by priority_score and show top 5-10 tasks.

Expected behavior

• Updates priority_score and last_updated columns in pm_tasks_master.csv
• Creates backup before write
• Sends Telegram alert if hot tasks in top 3
• Logs execution to pm_priority_agent_log.csv

Error handling

If agent fails:

• Check /tmp/task-prioritization-agent-error.log
• Verify pm_tasks_master.csv exists and is readable
• Check if backup file exists: pm_tasks_master.csv.bak

Notes

• Agent runs automatically 3x/day (08:00, 13:00, 18:00 Mon-Fri)
• Manual runs are safe (idempotent)
• Use --dry-run to preview without changes
