Individual skill
deep-work
Use when someone wants to plan a deep work day, time-block their calendar or task list, budget or cut shallow work, protect focus hours, track deep-work sessions and streaks, run an end-of-day shutdown ritual, or says "/deep-work" or "/time-block". Classifies tasks deep vs shallow, builds an energy-first time-blocked schedule that refuses deep demand past the 4-hour ceiling, batches shallow work into at most two windows, and logs focus sessions against a weekly target.

# Deep Work — Time-Block the Day, Budget the Shallow
> **Portability:** Reasoning-led skill with 3 stdlib Python scripts. No external APIs, no LLM calls in scripts. Works in Claude Code CLI and Claude.ai web. The scripts fix the arithmetic; you keep the judgment.
## What this does
A calendar full of reactions is not a plan. This skill turns a raw task list into a day where
attention is the protected resource: deep tasks get the earliest hours in blocks of at least 90
minutes, shallow work is batched into at most two windows, buffers absorb attention residue, and the
schedule flatly refuses more than 4 hours of deep demand — the trained daily ceiling. A local ledger
of focus sessions keeps the weekly deep-hours target measured, not felt.
## Step 1 — Classify and budget the shallow
