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.
Afterwith Task Tracking and Workplace Memory
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

“I already told you who that is” and “why is this task still open?” are signs that your assistant has lost the thread. This skill maintains a running task record and workplace memory, reconciles updates against available evidence, and produces an optional dashboard that shows both your work and what the assistant knows.

What it does

  • Captures conversational requests with stable task IDs, owners, deadlines, dependencies, and completion criteria.
  • Resolves people, project aliases, and internal terminology without guessing identities or merging unrelated work.
  • Distinguishes a request to contact someone from an assignment they have actually accepted.
  • Reconciles task lists with accessible calendar, email, chat, or project records, while reporting gaps in coverage.
  • Keeps a compact context index backed by detailed facts, sources, and corrections.
  • Generates a self-contained HTML snapshot with task-board and workplace-context views.

What you get

A maintained task list, a sourced workplace-context record, and a concise update showing changes, blockers, and decisions needed. When requested, you also get an HTML dashboard generated from the same records; persistence and connected-source updates depend on the tools available in your session.

Best for

Knowledge workers managing recurring commitments, internal shorthand, and multiple collaborators who want an assistant to retain context without inventing progress or losing unfinished work.

description: >-
  Maintain a running task list and two-tier workplace memory, reconcile commitments against available sources, and generate a dashboard from the same records. Use when the user says "track this for me", "update my task list", "who does this project name refer to?", "my assistant keeps forgetting our terminology", "why are completed tasks still open?", "check for commitments I missed", or "show my tasks and what you remember".
