Triage / Task Prioritization skill for OpenClaw

What this skill does

Prioritizes competing tasks into P0-P3 by cost of delay and decides what to do first, what waits, and when to interrupt current work. Use when tasks pile up or everything feels urgent, when a request arrives mid-task, when triaging bugs, tickets, alerts, or a backlog after time away, when deadlines conflict or slack runs out, or when the user says urgent, ASAP, EOD, drop everything, or no rush. Learns the user's real priority rules from their corrections and reorders. Not for effort estimation or roadmap planning.

The Triage / Task Prioritization skill is part of the Developer Tools category — developer tools that help your agent write, review, debug, and ship code. You can install it on its own or alongside other developer tools skills from the OpenClaw catalog.
