Developer builds a local Gemma-powered CLI that picks three priority tasks from a to-do list
For Hacktoberfest's third week, a developer built sloth-triage, a roughly 70-line Bun command-line tool that asks a model to select the few tasks worth doing today from a text list. The tool sends the list to an open-weight model, with Gemma served locally through Ollama as the default, so the data stays on the user's machine and no account or API key is needed. Its prompt favors deadlines and tasks that worsen if ignored, and it returns a short ordered plan noting what can be skipped or deferred. The author notes limitations: small models can mistake urgency for loudness, and the tool does not yet read calendar data. The project is available on GitHub and was submitted to the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge.
