Productivity (Tasks, Calendars, Personal Context)
Task management, workplace memory, and a visual dashboard so Claude learns your people, projects, and terminology and can act like a colleague.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I'd help you figure out your priorities, but I'd need to know what projects you're working on, what deadlines are coming up, and what's already on your plate. If you have a task manager or calendar I could look at, that would help. You could also just tell me about your current projects and what you think is urgent. Once I understand your situation better, we could talk through what should get your attention this week.
WEEKLY FOCUS (as of today) CRITICAL (3 items) • Finish Q3 board deck (due Friday) — in progress, 60% done • Unblock Chen on the auth refactor (you promised context by Wed) • Finalize vendor contract language with Legal STATUS DASHBOARD • 12 tasks open (5 overdue, 7 on track) • People: Todd flagged for oracle PSR, Sarah needs design feedback • Terminology: PSR = Periodic Status Report; oracle = your largest enterprise account TRIAGE RECOMMEND 1. 90 min on board deck (gets you to 85%) 2. 30 min async message to Chen with refactor context 3. 1 hr on contract review 4. Tomorrow: design feedback to Sarah before end of day UPDATE SOURCE Ran your calendar, email (last 48 hrs), and Slack; flagged 2 new urgent items and a stale meeting invite. Run "/update --comprehensive" Friday before the weekend if context changed.
About this skill

Productivity (Tasks, Calendars, Personal Context)
The Productivity plugin from Anthropic's knowledge-work-plugins ships three pieces: TASKS.md (a markdown task list Claude reads, writes, and executes against — add tasks naturally, Claude tracks status and triages stale items), a two-tier workplace memory (teaches Claude your shorthand, people, projects, and terminology so 'ask todd to do the PSR for oracle' resolves), and a visual dashboard (a local HTML file with a board view of tasks and a live view of what Claude knows). Slash commands are /start, /update, and /update --comprehensive.
What you get
- TASKS.md markdown task list Claude reads/writes/executes
- two-tier workplace memory of people, projects, terminology
- local HTML dashboard synced with the file
- /start, /update, /update --comprehensive commands
- connectors for Slack, Notion, Asana, Linear, Jira, Monday, ClickUp, Microsoft 365
Customize your output
- Connectors: Slack, Notion, Asana, Linear, Jira, Monday, ClickUp, Microsoft 365
- Update depth: /update (triage) vs /update --comprehensive (deep scan email, calendar, chat)
Example output
Run /start on Monday to spin up TASKS.md and the dashboard; on Friday /update --comprehensive scans email, calendar, and chat, flags three missed to-dos, and proposes two new memory entries.
Best for
Knowledge workers using Cowork who want Claude to hold persistent context on people, projects, and tasks
