Task Planner

The Task Planner is a fully working command‑line application built atop the ideas in this repository. It demonstrates how to evolve an agent skeleton into a complete tool. The planner stores tasks with due dates, displays them in order of urgency and provides a summary of pending work.

Features

• Add tasks with a description and optional due date.
• List tasks sorted by due date, with overdue items highlighted.
• Summarise tasks using the summarisation function from the utilities module. This condenses all task descriptions into a short overview.

Running the planner

1. Install dependencies:

   pip install python-dateutil

2. Run the program:

   python main.py add --task "Write project proposal" --due 2025-09-10
   python main.py list
   python main.py summarise

3. Tasks are stored in tasks.json in the same folder. Feel free to edit this file manually or script additions.

Implementation notes

This application uses standard Python libraries and a small helper function chunk_text from utilities/common.py to summarise task descriptions. It does not require any external API keys. The program structure illustrates how to move from a skeleton example to a real application, making the repository valuable for both developers and curious beginners.
