Core Capabilities

1. Work Prioritization

Analyze and rank pending work:

-- Score commitments by priority factors
SELECT
    c.id, c.title, c.due_date, c.priority, c.project,
    -- Calculate urgency score
    CASE
        WHEN c.due_date < date('now') THEN 100  -- Overdue
        WHEN c.due_date = date('now') THEN 80   -- Today
        WHEN c.due_date <= date('now', '+2 days') THEN 60  -- Soon
        WHEN c.due_date <= date('now', '+7 days') THEN 40  -- This week
        ELSE 20
    END as urgency_score,
    -- Add priority weight
    CASE c.priority
        WHEN 'critical' THEN 40
        WHEN 'high' THEN 30
        WHEN 'medium' THEN 20
        ELSE 10
    END as priority_score,
    -- Consider stakeholder importance
    CASE
        WHEN c.stakeholder IS NOT NULL THEN 20
        ELSE 0
    END as stakeholder_score,
    -- Penalize deferrals
    -10 * c.deferred_count as deferral_penalty
FROM commitments c
WHERE c.status IN ('pending', 'in_progress')
ORDER BY (urgency_score + priority_score + stakeholder_score + deferral_penalty) DESC;

2. Productivity Analysis

Analyze work patterns over time:

-- Session productivity metrics
SELECT
    date(started_at) as date,
    COUNT(*) as sessions,
    SUM(duration_seconds) / 3600.0 as hours,
    AVG(duration_seconds) / 60.0 as avg_minutes,
    COUNT(DISTINCT project) as projects
FROM sessions
WHERE started_at >= datetime('now', '-30 days')
GROUP BY date(started_at)
ORDER BY date DESC;

-- Commitment completion rate
SELECT
    strftime('%Y-%W', created_at) as week,
    COUNT(*) as created,
    SUM(CASE WHEN status = 'completed' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as completed,
    ROUND(100.0 * SUM(CASE WHEN status = 'completed' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) / COUNT(*), 1) as completion_rate
FROM commitments
WHERE created_at >= datetime('now', '-90 days')
GROUP BY week
ORDER BY week DESC;

-- Time to completion
SELECT
    AVG(julianday(completed_at) - julianday(created_at)) as avg_days,
    MIN(julianday(completed_at) - julianday(created_at)) as min_days,
    MAX(julianday(completed_at) - julianday(created_at)) as max_days
FROM commitments
WHERE completed_at IS NOT NULL
  AND created_at >= datetime('now', '-30 days');

3. Goal Progress Tracking

Monitor goal health and trajectory:

-- Goal velocity (progress per week)
SELECT
    g.id, g.title, g.progress_percentage,
    g.target_date,
    -- Days until target
    julianday(g.target_date) - julianday('now') as days_remaining,
    -- Required daily progress
    (100 - g.progress_percentage) / NULLIF(julianday(g.target_date) - julianday('now'), 0) as required_daily_progress,
    -- Risk assessment
    CASE
        WHEN g.target_date < date('now') AND g.progress_percentage < 100 THEN 'overdue'
        WHEN (100 - g.progress_percentage) / NULLIF(julianday(g.target_date) - julianday('now'), 0) > 5 THEN 'at_risk'
        WHEN (100 - g.progress_percentage) / NULLIF(julianday(g.target_date) - julianday('now'), 0) > 2 THEN 'needs_attention'
        ELSE 'on_track'
    END as risk_status
FROM goals g
WHERE g.status = 'active'
  AND g.target_date IS NOT NULL;

4. Pattern-Based Recommendations

Use detected patterns to inform suggestions:

-- Get relevant patterns
SELECT id, title, pattern_type, confidence, recommendations
FROM patterns
WHERE status = 'active'
  AND confidence >= 0.6
ORDER BY confidence DESC;

Apply patterns to recommendations:

• If "morning productivity" pattern exists, suggest scheduling important work early
• If "batch committing" pattern exists, consider recommending atomic commits
• If "long sessions" pattern exists, suggest break scheduling

5. Strategic Reviews

Generate periodic strategic assessments:

Weekly Focus:

• Top 3 priorities
• Carryover items analysis
• Goal trajectory check
• Time allocation review

Monthly Strategy:

• Progress on major objectives
• Decision patterns analysis
• Productivity trends
• Recommendation adjustments

Analysis Frameworks

Eisenhower Matrix

Categorize work by urgency and importance:

                    URGENT          NOT URGENT
            ┌───────────────┬───────────────┐
IMPORTANT   │   DO FIRST    │    SCHEDULE   │
            │   Overdue     │   Goals       │
            │   Critical    │   Planning    │
            ├───────────────┼───────────────┤
NOT         │   DELEGATE    │   ELIMINATE   │
IMPORTANT   │   Low-impact  │   Time waste  │
            │   urgent      │   Distractions│
            └───────────────┴───────────────┘

Time Investment Analysis

-- Where is time going?
SELECT
    project,
    SUM(duration_seconds) / 3600.0 as hours,
    ROUND(100.0 * SUM(duration_seconds) / (SELECT SUM(duration_seconds) FROM sessions WHERE started_at >= datetime('now', '-7 days')), 1) as percentage
FROM sessions
WHERE started_at >= datetime('now', '-7 days')
GROUP BY project
ORDER BY hours DESC;

Bottleneck Detection

Identify what's blocking progress:

-- Long-pending items
SELECT id, title, priority, created_at,
    julianday('now') - julianday(created_at) as days_pending
FROM commitments
WHERE status = 'pending'
ORDER BY days_pending DESC
LIMIT 10;

-- Frequently deferred items
SELECT id, title, deferred_count, deferred_until
FROM commitments
WHERE deferred_count >= 2
ORDER BY deferred_count DESC;

   - Current: 60%
   - Required: +8%/day to hit target
   - Recommended: 2-hour blocks

4. **[C-0005] Update documentation** - Low urgency, high value
   - Context: New team member starting
   - Estimated: 1 hour

## Consider Delegating/Dropping

- [C-0010] Research competitor features - 3x deferred

*Prioritization based on: urgency, impact, stakeholder needs, goal alignment*

Strategic Review

# Weekly Strategic Review

## Executive Summary

**Productivity:** Up 15% from last week
**Completion Rate:** 73% (target: 80%)
**Goal Progress:** 2 of 3 on track

## Key Metrics

| Metric | This Week | Trend |
|--------|-----------|-------|
| Sessions | 18 | +20% |
| Hours | 24h | +15% |
| Completed | 11 | +37% |
| Decisions | 5 | stable |

## Concerns

1. **Carryover Growth** - 8 items pending >2 weeks
   - Recommendation: Dedicate 2 hours to clearing backlog

2. **Goal G-0003 At Risk** - Documentation at 30%, needs 50% by Friday
   - Recommendation: Prioritize tomorrow morning

3. **Context Switching** - 5 different projects this week
   - Recommendation: Consider project-focused days

## Recommendations

1. **Tomorrow:** Focus on overdue items (2.5 hours)

- Test coverage improving (pattern P-0002)
- Commit quality consistent (conventional commits)

Principles

• Data-driven - Base recommendations on actual metrics
• Actionable - Provide specific, doable suggestions
• Balanced - Consider both urgent and important
