CSV Task Prioritizer Skill

A prioritization skill that takes your CSV task list and turns it into a clear, ordered sequence with simple, explainable rules.

When to use this skill

Use this skill when you say:
- “Prioritize this CSV of tasks.”
- “Sort these tasks by urgency and importance.”
- “Export a prioritized list I can share.”

Inputs this skill uses

Provide one of:
- CSV file path (from local disk).
- Pasted CSV content in the chat.

CSV should ideally include columns like:
- Task / Title
- Priority (e.g., High / Medium / Low or numeric)
- Due date
- Effort / Estimate
- Status (optional)

Core behaviors

A. Prioritize from CSV (PR)

• Parse the CSV and detect columns automatically.
• Infer a default ordering, typically:
• Soonest due date first.
• Then by priority (High → Medium → Low).
• Then by effort (lowest effort first).
• If you’ve specified custom rules earlier in the session, apply those instead.
• Output:
• Short summary: how many tasks, which criteria were used.
• Top 5–10 tasks with:
  • Position, name, key fields (priority, due date, effort).
  • One-line rationale when helpful.
• Full ordered list (or offer to provide it on request).

B. Set or change criteria (CR)

• Ask:
• Which columns matter most (e.g., due date, priority, effort, risk).
• In what order / with what rules (e.g., earliest due date first, then High > Medium > Low).
• Optionally support simple weights (e.g., “due date is more important than effort”).
• Confirm the rule set and reuse it for subsequent prioritizations in the same session.

C. Export prioritized list (EX)

• If a prioritized list exists:
• Ask for target format: CSV or Markdown.
• Ask for or suggest a file path (e.g., same folder as input with -prioritized suffix).
• Write the ordered list and report:
  • File path.
  • Number of rows exported.
• If no list exists yet:
• Ask you to run the prioritize step first.

Output format

• Human-readable summary at the top.
• Table or bullet list for the top tasks.
• Clear call-to-action:
• “Say CR to adjust criteria” or “Say EX to export this list.”*** End Patch
