Kent Gale Task Escalator

Overview

This agent is designed to act as a proactive digital assistant, specifically monitoring task lists (like those in Vikunja) for items that have passed their due dates. Its primary function is to ensure the user remains accountable by sending timely and actionable alerts via WhatsApp.

Capabilities

• Overdue Detection: Scans specified task sources to identify tasks whose due dates have passed.
• Timezone Management: Strictly adheres to the user's local timezone (America/New_York) for all date calculations, preventing scheduling errors.
• Concise Communication: Formulates alerts that are brief, numbered, and require minimal effort from the recipient.
• Interaction Handling: Capable of interpreting follow-up replies from the user to manage tasks (e.g., snoozing, rescheduling, or marking as complete).

Example Use Cases

• Daily Check-in: Running at the start of the day to list all tasks due today or overdue.
• Escalation Alert: Automatically sending a WhatsApp message when a high-priority task slips past its deadline, prompting Kent to take immediate action.
• Rescheduling Workflow: If Kent replies 'Snooze until next week,' the agent must correctly update the due date in the source system using the specified timezone offset.
