What This Skill Does

Deepfocus is a command-line-based productivity toolkit designed to help users capture tasks, organize plans, track streaks, and conduct periodic reviews without leaving their terminal environment. By utilizing a simple, log-based architecture, Deepfocus provides a lightweight yet powerful alternative to bloated project management software. It stores data locally in a structured directory format, ensuring that your productivity data remains private and accessible. The skill supports a wide range of administrative and tracking functions, including task prioritization, tagging, archiving, and generating statistical reports on your work habits. It is built using standard Bash scripts and core utilities, making it incredibly fast and free of external dependencies.

Installation

To install the Deepfocus skill, ensure you have the OpenClaw agent environment set up correctly on your system. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bytesagain1/deepfocus

Once installed, you can invoke the utility using the command bash scripts/script.sh <command>. Ensure that the script is executable and that your user account has write permissions to the ~/.local/share/deepfocus/ directory, where the tool will maintain your logs and configuration data.

Use Cases

• Rapid Task Capture: Quickly jot down tasks or ideas without switching windows or opening a heavy application.
• Habit Consistency: Use the streak and track commands to monitor your daily progress and maintain streaks for improved accountability.
• Reflective Practice: Utilize the review and weekly-review commands to create a consistent feedback loop, documenting successes and areas for future improvement.
• Project Organization: Plan out your day or week systematically using the plan and prioritize commands to ensure alignment with your goals.
• Retrospective Data Analysis: Export your history as a CSV or JSON file to analyze your productivity trends over time using external visualization tools.

Example Prompts

1. "Deepfocus, add a new task: Complete the documentation for the API refactor and set it as high priority."
2. "Show me my productivity statistics for the week and list the last 5 things I planned in my tracker."
3. "Start a new weekly review entry documenting that I successfully finished the project milestone."

Tips & Limitations

• Efficiency Tip: Since Deepfocus works in two modes, run commands without arguments frequently to get a quick snapshot of your recent logs without needing to open the files directly.
• Searching: Use the search command with specific keywords to quickly find older notes within your history.log or specific category logs.
• Limitations: As a file-based system, Deepfocus does not support real-time synchronization across multiple devices. It is strictly limited to the local machine where it is installed. Furthermore, it lacks a graphical user interface, so users must be comfortable with the command-line interface to maximize its utility.
