Stop waiting for prompts. Keep working.

What This Skill Does
Transforms an AI agent from a prompt-driven tool into a self-directed worker by using a task queue and heartbeat system. The agent reads tasks from QUEUE.md, executes them, and logs progress in HEARTBEAT.md, enabling continuous operation without manual intervention.
Replaces the need for constant human prompting by enabling the agent to autonomously pull and execute tasks from a queue.
When to Use It
- Set up overnight batch processing of routine data tasks
- Automate daily report generation and delivery
- Run continuous monitoring and alerting workflows
- Process a backlog of pending tasks without manual kickoff
- Maintain a persistent agent that works on long-running projects

Productivity
@ivangdavilaDiagnoses and repairs personal productivity: overwhelm, procrastination, scattered priorities, collapsed habits, busywork that never finishes. Use when someone is overwhelmed or behind; when they cannot start, cannot stop, or keep replanning instead of working; when everything feels urgent and the list is no longer trusted; when goals never turn into shipped work; when meetings and messages eat the day; when a habit keeps breaking; when they want a weekly review, a shutdown routine, or one trusted home for goals, projects and commitments; and when the constraint is a situation — student, manager, executive, parent, freelancer, founder, creative, remote work, ADHD, burnout, or guilt about resting. Covers capacity math, estimation, WIP limits, delegation and saying no. Not for calendar-API automation (`calendar-planner`), running the day-to-day list (`task-list`), or the narrower tools: time blocking (`time-management`), habit streaks (`habits`), deep-work rituals (`deep-work`).
