SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a scalable planning framework that identifies constraints first, then defines priorities and experiments to achieve measurable progress across daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly horizons.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constraint-first planning: Elicit fixed commitments and energy drains before proposing priorities.
  • Multi-scale planning: Applies the same structure to Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly planning.
  • Experiment-driven: Reframes plans as tests to learn and adapt, with defined success levels. Use Case: A user wants a daily plan that respects today's calendar and energy constraints, a weekly plan from the retro, and a longer-term roadmap accessible in a single framework.

Quick Start

Provide a simple set of steps to begin: "Describe the period you want to plan, provide any constraints, and confirm the hierarchy of priorities. Then generate a plan draft and iterate."

Frequently Asked Questions about planning-base

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan across multiple time scales using a constraints-first approach?▼

Constraints-first planning identifies fixed commitments and energy drains before setting priorities, allowing you to apply a consistent framework across daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly horizons.

What is the best way to integrate retrospective data into weekly planning?▼

Retrospective data serves as input for weekly planning by transforming past results into focused priorities and experiments, enabling you to adapt strategies based on defined success levels.

Can I reframe my project priorities as experiments to measure progress?▼

Yes, experiment-driven planning reframes priorities as tests to learn and adapt, establishing defined success levels to achieve measurable progress across any selected planning horizon.

How do I start generating a daily plan that respects calendar constraints?▼

Describe the period you want to plan, provide any constraints like fixed commitments, and confirm the hierarchy of priorities to generate a plan draft and iterate.

Does this planning framework require specific dependencies or components to function?▼

No, this planning framework operates without dependencies or components, using a structured Markdown body as the operational guide to satisfy frontmatter requirements with a YAML name and description.
