deep-work
Protect, design, and measure focused work — block defence, session structure, interruption budgets, and deep-work ratio. Use when the calendar is fragmented, focus blocks keep getting eaten, or output has stalled.
Why this skill is useful
Adds a Python script for analyzing calendar fragmentation that provides actionable insights into productivity patterns.

What this skill does
Deep Work Blocking time on a calendar is the easy half; making the time inside the block convert into output is the hard half. This skill covers both — measuring how badly meetings fragment your week, defending blocks against encroachment, and designing sessions so that protected time produces a finished artefact rather than a warm feeling. When to use this skill Your calendar looks manageable in total meeting hours but no real work gets done Focus blocks exist but keep getting moved, split, or quietly cancelled You need to argue for protected time and want fragmentation data rather than a preference Sessions happen but produce fragments — nothing reaches a finished state You want to know whether your deep-work practice is improving or decaying over months A 30-minute meeting keeps landing in the middle of your only long block Inputs the skill expects A calendar export as JSON — date, start, end, title, optional fixed flag Your working-window hours (defaults to 09:00-17:00) Your role, which sets a realistic deep-work ratio target (40-60% IC, 20-30% manager) A session log with date and actualmin, ideally interruptions and artefact Your current weekly deep-work target in minutes, set from logged history rather than aspiration Clarify First Before generating, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume: [ ] Role and realistic target ratio — the 0.40 default is an IC figure and will flag every manager's calendar as failing, which is noise not signal [ ] Which meetings are genuinely immovable — the fixed flag determines whether a reschedule proposal is actionable or fantasy [ ] Working-window hours — a 9-5 window on someone who works 07:00-15:00 produces meaningless ratios [ ] Whether the goal is diagnosis or advocacy — arguing for protected time leads with recovery cost; personal tuning leads with block length Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. …
