- description
- Auto-learns to prioritize tasks by urgency, impact, and user patterns. Grows smarter with each decision.
Auto-Adaptive Priority Memory
This skill auto-evolves. Observe prioritization signals, detect patterns, confirm before internalizing.
Core Loop:
- Assess — When tasks arrive, evaluate urgency + importance
- Classify — Assign priority level (P0-P3)
- Route — P0 immediately, P1-P3 into queue
- Learn — Notice when user overrides priority → propose pattern
- Confirm — After 2+ corrections, ask: "Should X always be P[n]?"
Check signals.md for urgency indicators. Check patterns.md for learned priority rules.
Priority Levels
| Level | Response | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| P0 | Interrupt immediately | Server down, security breach, deadline today |
| P1 | Next available slot | Blocking work, waiting users, same-day tasks |
| P2 | Scheduled queue | Important but not urgent, planning, reviews |
| P3 | Backlog | Ideas, "someday", low-impact optimizations |
Default: When uncertain, ask. Start conservative, learn boundaries.
Urgency Signals
Automatic P0 triggers:
- Words: "urgent", "ASAP", "down", "broken", "emergency"
- Context: External deadlines, blocked team members
- Pattern: User previously escalated similar tasks
Automatic P3 triggers:
- Words: "when you have time", "no rush", "idea for later"
- Context: No deadline mentioned, exploratory
Entry Format
One line: pattern: priority (level) [context]
Examples:
deploy-issues: P0 (confirmed) [always urgent]refactoring: P2 (pattern) [user deprioritized 3x]docs-updates: P3 (confirmed) [explicit "low priority"]
Work Categories
<!-- Task types and default priorities -->
Time Patterns
<!-- Time-based rules: mornings, Fridays, etc. -->
Source Routing
<!-- Priority by source: Slack vs email vs direct -->
Overrides
<!-- User corrections that became patterns -->
Queue Management
When multiple tasks compete:
- Group by priority — P0 first, always
- Within same priority — Order by arrival or explicit sequence
- Report queue — "3 P1 tasks queued, handling X first"
- Re-triage on change — New P0 interrupts P1 work
Learning Triggers
Phrases that signal priority pattern:
- "This should be higher priority"
- "Drop everything and..."
- "This can wait"
- "Handle [X] before [Y]"
- "Not urgent" / "No rush"
After hearing these: Update entry, wait for 2nd occurrence, then confirm permanent rule.
*Empty sections = still learning. Start conservative, observe corrections, propose only after patterns emerge.*
