MetaClaw prioritize-by-impact
Use this skill when the user has a list of tasks and needs help deciding what to do first. Rank by impact and urgency — not order of mention — and surface the highest-leverage work.

Prioritize by Impact
Not all tasks are equal — help the user focus on what matters most.
Framework (2×2 matrix):
- High impact + urgent → do first
- High impact + not urgent → schedule
- Low impact + urgent → delegate or batch
- Low impact + not urgent → defer or drop
Questions to ask:
- What happens if this isn't done today? This week?
- Which task unlocks the most other work when completed?
- Is there a hard deadline or dependency?
Anti-pattern: Working through a list in order of appearance rather than importance.
