#### Engineered Capabilities
89
+
90
+
**GTD-Inspired Task Decomposition**
91
+
The AI is prompt-engineered to identify the "next physical action" for any goal, breaking large projects into 15-45 minute actionable chunks and surfacing hidden dependencies.
92
+
93
+
```
94
+
You: "I need to submit my research paper"
95
+
96
+
AI: Let me break this down into next actions:
97
+
[ADD] Export bibliography from Zotero u3i3
98
+
[ADD] Proofread introduction section u2i3
99
+
[ADD] Format figures to journal specifications u2i2
100
+
[ADD] Complete author checklist form u3i2
101
+
102
+
Before submitting, you need the co-author approval. Should we add that?
103
+
```
104
+
105
+
**Rigorous Priority Assessment**
106
+
Rather than accepting vague priorities, the AI applies explicit criteria for urgency (1-3) and importance (1-3), challenging assumptions and spotting "urgency theater."
107
+
108
+
```
109
+
You: "Add task: respond to all emails"
110
+
111
+
AI: Let's decompose this. "All emails" is too broad—which ones are actually urgent?
112
+
- Are any blocking other people's work? (u3)
113
+
- Are any from your advisor with time-sensitive questions? (u3i3)
114
+
- Can routine updates be batched for Friday afternoon? (u1i1)
115
+
116
+
Consider:
117
+
[ADD] Reply to Prof. Chen re: dataset access u3i3
118
+
[ADD] Batch process newsletter emails u1i1
119
+
```
120
+
121
+
**Multilingual Inspirational Quotes**
122
+
Type `quote` to receive verified quotes from dual sources: a handpicked collection of Paul Graham essays, classical Chinese philosophy, Stoic wisdom, and Japanese business thought—plus the AI's ability to extract and verify quotes from its extensive knowledge base with extremely low hallucination probability due to implemented guardrails which define its quote retrieval behaviors.
123
+
124
+
```
125
+
You: quote
126
+
127
+
AI: "事上磨练" — 王阳明 (Practice and refine yourself through action)
128
+
129
+
You: quote
130
+
131
+
AI: "People who do great things don't get a lot done every day.
132
+
They get something done, rather than nothing."
133
+
— Paul Graham, How to Do Great Work
134
+
```
135
+
136
+
#### Technical Implementation
137
+
138
+
The system prompt uses:
139
+
-**Context injection**: Current task list is passed to GPT-4o for relevance
140
+
-**Temperature tuning**: Lower temperature (0.3) for quote retrieval, balanced (0.5) for task planning
141
+
-**Structured output format**: `[ADD] Task name u<1-3>i<1-3>` for automatic parsing
142
+
-**Role-specific instructions**: Trained to challenge low-value work and identify tasks for Q3 (Delegate) and Q4 (Drop)
143
+
144
+
This demonstrates practical prompt engineering deployed in service of productivity—turning a general language model into a domain-specific task management assistant.
