# Weekly Planner

> A week plan that fits the hours you actually have.

- Category: Productivity
- Schedule: Weekly, Sunday 6:00 PM
- Works with: Grok Bot, Muse, Dots
- Setup time: 3 minutes
- Version: 1.0.0 (updated 2026-10-31)
- Cost: light

## What it does

Most weekly plans fail because they ignore the calendar. Weekly Planner starts from it: it counts your meeting hours, finds the real gaps, and fits your three most important outcomes into specific blocks. When the work doesn't fit, it says so on Sunday instead of Thursday, and suggests what to move or drop. With your approval, it can hold the focus blocks on your calendar.

## What you get

- Your top three outcomes, each scheduled
- Meeting hours vs free focus time
- A day-by-day table
- Overload and deadline warnings with fixes
- A clear list of what can wait

## Data it uses

- Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar
- Task app (Notion, Todoist, Linear) (optional)

## Safety

- Writes or sends: Read-only unless you approve calendar holds.
- Reads: Next week's calendar events
- Reads: Open tasks and due dates (if a task app is connected)
- Reads: Calendar write access, only for holds you approve
- Cost: Low: ~4 runs a month.
- Warning: It only creates calendar holds after you say yes to each plan.
- Warning: Your assistant needs calendar write permission for holds; read-only works for planning alone.

### Grok Bot (verified)

1. Copy skills/weekly-planner/SKILL.md (the whole file, including the --- header).
2. Open a one-to-one chat with your Grok Bot and paste the prompt below, with the file where it says.
3. When the Bot asks, connect: Google Calendar or Outlook (required), Notion, Todoist, or Linear (optional). It shows a connect card right in the chat.
4. Try it once now: "Run Weekly Planner."
5. The routine shows in the Bot's info pane (click the Bot's name in the chat header) under Routines, where you can pause or edit it.

Note: Skills and routines are saved by asking the Bot; no settings to dig through.

### Muse (partially-verified)

1. Copy skills/weekly-planner/SKILL.md.
2. Open Muse and paste the prompt below with the file where it says.
3. Try it: "Run Weekly Planner." Muse has no skill install for outside skills, so it follows the pasted instructions.
4. Ask Muse to make it a recurring task every Sunday at 6:00 PM. It then shows under the Assistant icon > Upcoming.
5. Muse Code (developer CLI): unzip downloads/weekly-planner.zip, run `muse skills validate ./weekly-planner` then `muse skills install ./weekly-planner --scope user`. Optional: add the BotPlaza connector (https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp) under mcpServers in ~/.config/muse/settings.json.

Note: Recurring tasks and Muse Code skill install are documented by Meta. Installing outside skills in the Muse app is not.

### Dots (partially-verified)

1. Copy skills/weekly-planner/SKILL.md.
2. Paste the prompt below into your dot's conversation in ChatGPT, with the file where it says.
3. Wait for the dot to confirm the schedule, time zone and end date.
4. Optional: in ChatGPT, Plugins > + > Add custom MCP server with https://botplaza.lol/api/mcp (no authentication). Dots can use installed plugins, but OpenAI hasn't said whether that includes custom ones.
5. Business, Enterprise, Healthcare and Edu workspaces can also upload downloads/weekly-planner.zip under Plugins > Skills > Create > Upload from your computer.

Note: Dots are available on ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise, and are still rolling out. Pasting instructions in and scheduled check-ins are documented.
