wildweek 0.3.0

Minimal CLI weekly scheduler with probability-based task selection

Wildweek

A minimal CLI weekly scheduler with probability-based task selection.

Version

v0.2

Usage

python3 wildweek.py [tasks.csv] [--daily-limit MINUTES] [--max-week-minutes MINUTES] [--seed N] [--ics FILE]

All arguments have defaults from wildweek.cfg. CLI arguments override config values.

Arguments

Argument	Default	Description
csv	(from config)	Path to tasks CSV file
--daily-limit	120	Max minutes scheduled per day
--max-week-minutes	600	Max total minutes scheduled per week
--seed	42	Random seed for reproducible task selection
--ics	(from config)	Output ICS filename (omit to skip ICS export)

Examples

python3 wildweek.py                              # uses wildweek.cfg defaults
python3 wildweek.py tasks.csv --seed 7           # different weekly draw
python3 wildweek.py --ics schedule.ics           # export to ICS
python3 wildweek.py --daily-limit 180 --max-week-minutes 900

Text Output

Monday: Walk-a-bout (120min)
Tuesday: Hike (90min), Call friend (25min), Didgeridoo (5min)
Wednesday: Call friend (25min), Didgeridoo (5min)
...
Sunday: Hike (90min)
ICS written to wildweek.ics

Config File

wildweek.cfg (INI format) provides defaults for all CLI arguments:

[wildweek]
csv = tasks.csv
daily_limit = 120
max_week_minutes = 600
seed = 42
ics = wildweek.ics

Omit ics to disable ICS output by default.

Input CSV Format

Column	Type	Description
name	string	Task name
duration	integer	Duration in minutes
probability	float 0–1	Probability task is chosen each day

Example tasks.csv

name,duration,probability
Hike,90,0.40
Walk-a-bout,120,0.05
Call friend,25,0.35
Tai Chi,10,0.55
Piano,20,0.55
Didgeridoo,5,0.55
Read,25,0.60

Scheduling Algorithm

1. Seed the random number generator with --seed.
2. Iterate over days Monday through Sunday.
3. For each day, iterate over tasks in CSV order.
4. For each task, roll against its probability — skip if the roll fails.
5. Assign the task to the day if it fits within daily_limit and max_week_minutes.
6. Days with no tasks assigned are shown as (rest).

The same seed always produces the same schedule. Change the seed for a different weekly draw.

ICS Export

When --ics is provided (or set in config), an ICS file is written suitable for import into Google Calendar or any calendar application. Events are all-day entries starting the next Monday from today's date.

Specifications Honored

• Probability-based per-day task selection using probability column
• Reproducible output via random seed
• 7 fixed days: Monday through Sunday
• Respects --daily-limit (minutes per day)
• Respects --max-week-minutes (total minutes per week)
• Config file with CLI override for all parameters
• ICS calendar export (no external dependencies)
• Simple CSV input — no external dependencies (stdlib only)
• Under 150 lines of source code
• Duration unit is minutes throughout

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• No external dependencies (stdlib only)
