Designs a daily schedule that protects deep work - classifies tasks as deep or shallow, places 2-4 focus blocks of 60-120 minutes at peak energy hours, batches shallow work into fixed windows, and defines each session with a goal, definition of done, distraction plan, and first action, plus startup/shutdown rituals and a weekly scorecard. Use when someone says "I can't get any focused work done", "plan my day around deep work", "how do I stop context switching", or wants to defend calendar…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Deep Work Planner Deep work is cognitively demanding work done without distraction. It produces disproportionate value. This skill helps you protect and design it. ## Step 1: Classify your tasks Sort the day's tasks into two lists: - **Deep** - requires sustained focus, creates new value, hard to replicate (writing, designing, coding hard logic, strategy). - **Shallow** - logistical, low-concentration, often interrupt-driven (email, Slack, scheduling, quick reviews). ## Step 2: Schedule deep blocks - Place **2-4 deep blocks of 60-120 minutes** at your peak energy hours (for most people, the first hours after starting). - Block them on the calendar as real events - defend them like meetings. - Single-task: one project per block. No context switching mid-block. - Cap deep work at ~4 hours/day; it is a finite daily resource. ## Step 3: Batch the shallow - Collect shallow tasks into **1-2 fixed windows** (e.g. 11:30 and 16:30). - Communicate your async hours so people know when to expect replies. - Anything under 2 minutes during a batch window: just do it. ## Step 4: Design the session For each deep block, define before you start: ``` Block: <time range> …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/deep-work-planner@sha256:8d6f544ec738c0ebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.bea4ea5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
