[aegntic]

Pull Request Description

Add an impressive Smart Task Organizer recipe for Hacktoberfest 2025 that transforms scattered information into organized, actionable task lists using AI-powered automation.

Summary

This recipe demonstrates how AI can turn chaotic information from multiple sources (files, emails, messages, notes) into structured, prioritized todo lists. It's designed for professionals who struggle with task overload and need intelligent task management.

Key Innovation

Multi-Source Task Intelligence: Unlike simple task managers, this recipe:

• Scans multiple file types and formats for hidden action items
• Converts vague commitments into concrete next steps
• Intelligently categorizes by urgency, importance, and project
• Provides immediate actionable next steps for each task

Features Implemented

• Smart Task Extraction: Identifies action items from TODOs, emails, messages, and notes
• Priority Intelligence: Categorizes tasks by urgency (urgent/high/medium/low)
• Project Organization: Groups tasks by project and context
• Deadline Tracking: Extracts and organizes time-sensitive commitments
• Dependency Mapping: Identifies task relationships and blockers
• Actionable Transformation: Converts vague ideas into concrete next steps

Technical Excellence

• Single MCP Extension: Uses only Filesystem MCP server (beginner requirement)
• Flexible Parameters: Support for source filtering, priority levels, and project filtering
• Conditional Logic: Smart prompt templates with Jinja2-style conditionals
• Comprehensive Validation: Meets all recipe structure requirements
• Professional Documentation: Clear instructions and examples

Real-World Impact

Problem Solved: Professionals often have tasks scattered across multiple sources - meeting notes, emails, chat messages, project files - leading to missed deadlines and overwhelm.

Solution: AI automatically scans all sources, extracts actionable items, prioritizes them intelligently, and presents them in an organized, actionable format.

Use Cases:

• Project managers consolidating team commitments
• Developers tracking technical debt and feature requests
• Sales professionals organizing follow-ups and client commitments

Hi! I found out why your recipe is failing validation.

What Happened

You originally had filesystem configured as if it were a built-in extension, but filesystem is actually not a built-in or bundled extension - it's a stdio extension. When I corrected the configuration to type: stdio (which is what filesystem actually is), the recipe started failing because stdio extensions require an args field, which was missing.

So the current configuration:

extensions:
  - type: stdio
    name: filesystem
    cmd: npx
    # Missing required 'args' field!

Is failing because stdio extensions must have the args parameter specified.

The Easy Fix

Instead of trying to fix the stdio configuration, there's a much simpler solution: use the built-in developer extension, which actually includes all the file operations you need:

extensions:
  - type: builtin
    name: developer
    display_name: Developer
    timeout: 300
    bundled: true

Why This Is Better

The developer extension is perfect for your Smart Task Organizer recipe because it:

• ✅ Actually is built-in and bundled (unlike filesystem)
• ✅ Includes file reading, writing, and directory scanning
• ✅ Provides text search and shell command capabilities
• ✅ Requires no complex stdio configuration
• ✅ Is used successfully in many existing recipes

This will resolve the validation error and give you even more powerful capabilities for organizing tasks from files!
