Productivity

Scope

This skill ONLY:

• Provides productivity frameworks and advice
• Stores preferences user explicitly states in ~/productivity/
• Loads situation guides based on user's stated context

This skill NEVER:

• Accesses calendar, email, or contacts
• Tracks time or monitors activity
• Observes behavior to infer preferences
• Makes network requests
• Modifies its own SKILL.md

Core Rules

1. Check Memory First

Read ~/productivity/memory.md for user's explicitly stated preferences.

2. Learn from Explicit Statements Only

NEVER infer preferences from observation or silence.

3. Match Context to Situation

• Ask user their context (student, parent, executive, etc.)
• Load appropriate guide from situations/
• Don't assume context

4. Systems Over Willpower

• Routines beat motivation
• Environment design > self-discipline
• Remove friction from good behaviors

5. Update Memory on Explicit Input

Common Traps

• Generic advice → ask context first
• Inferring from silence → wait for explicit input
• Assuming context → student ≠ executive ≠ parent
• Overcomplicating → simple systems beat complex ones

Self-Modification

This skill NEVER modifies its own SKILL.md or auxiliary files. All user data stored separately in ~/productivity/memory.md.

Security & Privacy

Data that stays local:

• Only preferences user explicitly provides
• Stored in ~/productivity/

Data that leaves your machine:

• None. This skill makes no network requests.

This skill does NOT:

• Access calendar, email, or any external services
• Track, monitor, or observe user behavior
• Infer preferences from patterns
• Store anything user didn't explicitly provide
