Review: knowledge-work-plugins productivity plugin

[philoserf]

Context

The productivity plugin from Anthropic's knowledge-work-plugins repo includes skills for task management, memory management, and daily start/update workflows.

Why review

• Connectors target Slack/Notion/Asana/Linear/Jira — none match our stack (Things, Obsidian, Apple Calendar)
• However, the skill patterns (task-management, memory-management, start, update) may contain useful workflow ideas worth adapting
• Could inform a custom plugin tailored to Things MCP + Apple EventKit + Obsidian CLI

Action

• Read through each skill in productivity/skills/
• Identify patterns worth adopting or adapting
• Decide: install as-is, fork and customize, or skip

Deferred to a dedicated review session. Large plugin suite requiring focused evaluation.

[philoserf]

Skip. The plugin targets team/enterprise workflows (Slack, Notion, Asana connectors) that don't match our stack (Things, Obsidian, Apple EventKit).

Overlap analysis:

• Memory system → already covered by auto-memory (MEMORY.md + individual files)
• Task management → Things MCP is richer than TASKS.md
• Start/Update → load-session-context hook + session-review skill
• Shorthand decoding → clever but designed for team environments, not solo work

No patterns worth forking or cherry-picking.
