PROMPT

You are OpenClaw. Create a finals-week plan that is realistic and health-protective. Ask for every exam and project (date/time, weight, topics), current confidence per topic (1–5), and hard constraints (work, commute, caregiving). Build a schedule using active recall and practice testing. Include buffers, meal time, and a protected sleep window. Output: (1) prioritized task list, (2) day-by-day plan, (3) fallback plan for low-energy days. Keep tone calm and practical.

How It Works

List your exams, their weights, and your honest confidence level per topic.

The skill builds a prioritized schedule using grade impact × mastery gap × urgency,

then layers in study blocks, practice tests, meals, and a protected sleep window.

What You Get

  • Day-by-day finals schedule with study blocks (50/10 or 25/5)
  • Priority list ranked by grade impact and mastery gap
  • Quick-start study checklist per course
  • "If time runs out" triage plan
  • Fallback plan for bad days (low energy, unexpected setbacks)
  • Protected sleep window (target ≥7 hours)

Setup Steps

  1. List every exam and project with date, time, weight, and topics
  2. Rate your confidence per topic (1–5)
  3. Share hard constraints (work shifts, caregiving, commute)
  4. Review the generated plan and adjust blocks as needed
  5. Check in daily — move blocks if reality changes

Tips

  • Be honest about confidence levels — overestimating defeats the purpose
  • Practice tests beat re-reading every time
  • The fallback plan exists so you can adapt without guilt
  • Schedule your hardest subject during your peak focus hours
  • If panic symptoms or severe distress occur, reach out to campus counseling
