+
+This is a taskwarrior extension that automatically schedule your tasks based on your working hours,
+estimated time, and calendar events, finding an optimal time to work on each task and match all your
+deadlines.
+
+## Features
+
+- [x] **Use arbitrarily complex time maps for working hours**
+- [x] Block scheduling time using iCal calendars (meetings, vacations, holidays, etc.)
+- [x] **Parallel scheduling algorithm for multiple tasks, considering urgency and dependencies**
+- [x] Dry-run mode: preview scheduling without modifying your Taskwarrior database
+- [x] Custom urgency weighting for scheduling (via CLI or config)
+- [x] **Auto-fix scheduling to mach due dates**
+- [x] Force update of iCal calendars, bypassing cache
+- [x] Simple, customizable reports for planned and unplanned tasks
+- [x] Emoji and attribute customization in reports
+- [ ] Use Google API to access calendars
+- [ ] Export tasks to iCal calendar and API calendars
+
+## Install
+
+1. `pipx install taskcheck`
+2. `taskcheck --install`
+
+## How does it work
+
+This extension parses your pending and waiting tasks sorted decreasingly by urgency and tries to schedule them in the future.
+It considers their estimated time to schedule all tasks starting from the most urgent one.
+
+#### UDAs
+
+Taskcheck leverages two UDAs, `estimated` and `time_map`. The `estimated` attribute is
+the expected time to complete the task in hours. The `time_map` is a comma-separated list of strings
+that indicates the hours per day in which you will work on a task (e.g. `work`, `weekend`, etc.).
+The exact correspondence between the `time_map` and the hours of the day is defined in the configuration
+file of taskcheck. For instance:
+
+```toml
+[time_maps]
+# get an error)
+[time_maps.work]
+monday = [[9, 12.30], [14, 17]]
+tuesday = [[9, 12.30], [14, 17]]
+# ...
+```
+
+#### They say it's an "AI"
+
+Taskcheck will also parse online iCal calendars (Google, Apple, etc.) and will match them with your time maps.
+It will then modify the Taskwarrior tasks by adding the `completion_date` attribute with the expected
+date of completion and the `scheduled` attribute with the date in which the task is expected to
+start.
+
+It will also print a red line for every task whose `completion_date` is after its `due_date`.
+
+In general, it is recommended to run taskcheck rather frequently and at least once at the beginning
+of your working day.
+
+#### Reports
+
+You can also print simple reports that exploit the `scheduling` UDA filled by Taskcheck to grasp
+how much time you have to work on which task in which day. For
+instance:
+
+- `taskcheck -r today` will show the tasks planned for today
+- `taskcheck -r 1w` will show the tasks planned for the next week
+
+## Configuration
+
+`taskcheck --install` allows you to create required and recommended configurations for
+Taskwarrior. It will also generate a default configuration file for taskcheck.
+
+Below is an example of a taskcheck configuration file, with all relevant options:
+
+```toml
+[time_maps]
+# Define your working hours for each named time map (in 24h format, e.g. 9.5 = 9:30)
+[time_maps.work]
+monday = [[9, 12.30], [14, 17]]
+tuesday = [[9, 12.30], [14, 17]]
+wednesday = [[9, 12.30], [14, 17]]
+thursday = [[9, 12.30], [14, 17]]
+friday = [[9, 12.30], [14, 17]]
+
+[time_maps.weekend]
+saturday = [[9, 12.30]]
+sunday = [[9, 12.30]]
+
+[scheduler]
+days_ahead = 1000         # How far to go with the schedule (lower values = faster computation)
+weight_urgency = 1.0      # Default weight for urgency in scheduling (overridable via CLI)
+# if weight_urgency is set to 0, only due urgency is considered
+# by default, this factor is automatically reduced if some task cannot be scheduled in time,
+# leading to tasks with due dates being prioritized (see --no-auto-adjust-urgency)
+
+[calendars]
+# iCal calendars can be used to block your time and make the scheduling more precise
+[calendars.1]
+url = "https://your/url/to/calendar.ics"
+expiration = 0.08         # In hours (0.08 hours ≈ 5 minutes)
+timezone = "Europe/Rome"  # If set, force timezone for this calendar (see TZ database)
+
+[calendars.holidays]
+url = "https://www.officeholidays.com/ics-clean/italy/milan"
+event_all_day_is_blocking = true
+expiration = 720          # In hours (720 hours = 30 days)
+
+[report]
+include_unplanned = true
+additional_attributes = ["estimated", "due", "urgency"]           # Extra attributes to show in the report
+additional_attributes_unplanned = ["due", "urgency"]               # Extra attributes for unplanned tasks
+emoji_keywords = {"meet"=":busts_in_silhouette:", "review"=":mag_right:"} # Map keywords to emoji
+```
+
+### Configuration Options
+
+- **[scheduler]**
+  - `days_ahead`: How many days ahead to schedule tasks.
+  - `weight_urgency`: Default weight for urgency in scheduling (0.0 to 1.0). Can be overridden with `--urgency-weight`.
+- **[calendars]**
+  - `url`: iCal URL to block time.
+  - `expiration`: Cache expiration in hours.
+  - `timezone`: (Optional) Force a timezone for this calendar.
+  - `event_all_day_is_blocking`: (Optional, bool) Treat all-day events as blocking.
+- **[report]**
+  - `include_unplanned`: Show unplanned tasks in a separate section.
+  - `additional_attributes`: Extra columns to show in the report.
+  - `additional_attributes_unplanned`: Extra columns for unplanned tasks.
+  - `emoji_keywords`: Map keywords in task descriptions to emoji.
+
+## Algorithm
+
+The algorithm simulates what happens if you work on a task for a certain time on a given day.
+
+For each day X starting from today, it sorts the tasks by decreasing urgency.
+It start from the most urgent tasks that can be allocated on day X depending on the task's
+`time_map` and on your calendars. It allocates a few number of hours to the task,
+then recomputes the urgencies exactly as Taskwarrior would do
+if it was running on day X. Having recomputed the urgencies, it restarts.
+
+If after 2 hours a long task has decreased its urgency, it will be noticed and the newer most urgent
+task will get scheduled in its place.
+
+For `today`, taskcheck will skip the hours in the past -- i.e. if you're running at 12 pm, it will
+skip all the available slots until 12 pm.
+
+The maximum time that is allocated at each attempt is by default 2 hours
+(or less if the task is shorter), but you can change it by tuning the Taskwarrior UDA `min_block`.
+
+After the scheduling is done, if any task has a `completion_date` after its `due_date`, the
+`weight_urgency` factor is reduced by 0.1 and the scheduling is repeated, until all tasks
+are scheduled before their due dates or the `weight_urgency` factor reaches 0.
+
+## Tips and Tricks
+
+- You can exclude a task from being scheduled by removing the `time_map` or `estimated` attributes.
+- You can see tasks that you can execute now with the `task ready` report.
+
+## CLI Options
+
+```
+-v, --verbose                Increase output verbosity
+-i, --install                Install taskcheck configuration
+-r, --report CONSTRAINT      Show tasks planned until a certain time (e.g. 'today', '1w', 'eow')
+-s, --schedule               Perform the scheduling algorithm and update tasks
+-f, --force-update           Force update of all iCal calendars, ignoring cache expiration
+    --taskrc PATH            Set custom TASKRC directory (and TASKDATA) for debugging or alternate environments
+    --urgency-weight FLOAT   Weight for urgency in scheduling (0.0 to 1.0), overrides config value. When 0, only due urgency is considered.
+    --dry-run                Perform scheduling without modifying the Taskwarrior database (useful for testing)
+    --no-auto-adjust-urgency Disable auto-adjustment of urgency weight (default: enabled)
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+- `taskcheck --schedule`  
+  Run the scheduler and update your Taskwarrior tasks.
+- `taskcheck --schedule --dry-run`  
+  Preview the schedule without modifying your database.
+- `taskcheck --schedule --urgency-weight 0.5`  
+  Use a custom urgency weighting for this run.
+- `taskcheck --schedule --no-auto-adjust-urgency`  
+  Avoid the automatically reduction of urgency weight if tasks can't be scheduled before their due dates.
+- `taskcheck --report today`  
+  Show the schedule for today.
+- `taskcheck --report 1w`  
+  Show the schedule for the next week.
+- `taskcheck --force-update`  
+  Force refresh of all iCal calendars, ignoring cache.
