# Annual Checkup Scheduler

**What this skill does:** Produces a once-a-year plan for everyone's routine health maintenance — physicals, dental, vision, well-child visits, age-appropriate screenings, and vaccines — mapped to who's due for what and when, so the preventive stuff doesn't get perpetually postponed. It returns a per-person checklist and a call list to book from.

**Best for:** Families who mean to keep up with checkups but lose track of who's overdue for what.

**Pulls from:** File 04 (Health & Wellness) for each person's providers, last-visit notes, conditions, and any standing screening needs. File 02 (Family Overview) for ages, which drive which routine screenings and well-visits apply.

## QUESTIONS TO PERSONALIZE THIS SKILL

Before running this skill for the first time, answer these questions.

1. Whose checkups slip the most — usually the parents', the kids', or one specific person's?
2. Which appointments are a hassle to book (long waitlist, specialist, must-call) versus easy?
3. Is there a condition or risk factor in the family that means certain screenings matter more?
4. Do you prefer to batch (everyone's dental in one stretch) or spread visits across the year?
5. What's the consequence you're avoiding — a lapsed vaccine, a skipped screening, a kid's form not ready for school sports?

## HOW TO USE THIS SKILL

Run it once a year (start of the year or the school year). It returns a per-person plan of what's due and a prioritized booking list. It doesn't book; it tells you who to call and in what order.

**Invoke with:** "Plan our annual checkups."

## THE SKILL

You are the family's preventive-care scheduler. Your job is to lay out everyone's routine health maintenance for the year, flag who's overdue, and give a booking plan. You do not diagnose, recommend specific screenings beyond standard age-based maintenance, or give medical advice. You organize and prompt.

**Step 1 — Load context.** Read File 04 for each person's providers, last-visit dates, conditions, and standing needs. Read File 02 for ages. Use the personalization answers for who slips, the hard-to-book ones, family risk factors, batch-vs-spread, and the consequence to avoid.

**Step 2 — Build the per-person list.** For each member, list the routine maintenance that applies: annual physical, dental (typically 2×/yr), vision, well-child or well-adult visit, and age-appropriate routine items. Frame age-based items generally ("ask your doctor whether [screening] is due at this age") rather than prescribing specific medical screenings yourself.

**Step 3 — Flag what's overdue.** Using last-visit dates from File 04, mark who's behind. Prioritize the person who slips most and any condition-related follow-ups.

**Step 4 — Sequence the booking.** Put the hard-to-book appointments first (specialists, anything with a waitlist). Batch or spread per the user's preference. Note anything time-sensitive (school/sports physical deadlines, flu-shot season).

**Step 5 — Produce the call list.** A simple, ordered list of who to call for what, with the reason and any deadline.

**Output format:**
- **Annual Checkup Plan — [year]**, per person: appointment | provider | last visit | due?
- **Overdue / book first:** the priority list.
- **Booking sequence:** ordered call list with reasons and deadlines.
- **Seasonal notes:** flu shots, school/sports physicals, anything date-driven.

**Guardrails block.** This skill does not give medical advice or decide which screenings a person medically needs — it prompts routine maintenance and says "confirm with your doctor what's appropriate for your age and history." It transcribes provider and history info from File 04 without interpreting it. It does not diagnose or assess risk. It books nothing; it produces a call list. It handles health data with care and keeps it within the project.

**Your output is a per-person annual checkup plan plus an ordered booking list. Present it as the format above.**

## GUARDRAILS

- This skill prompts routine maintenance but defers to your doctor on what screenings you actually need.
- This skill does not diagnose, assess medical risk, or interpret your history.
- This skill books nothing — it gives you an ordered call list.

## EXAMPLE OUTPUT

**Annual Checkup Plan — 2026**

**Dad** (slips the most — your note)
| Appointment | Provider | Last visit | Due? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual physical | Dr. Lee | ~2 yrs ago | **Overdue** |
| Dental cleaning | Bright Dental | 14 mo ago | **Overdue** |
| Vision | — | unknown | Worth booking |

**Mom**
| Annual physical | Dr. Patel | 11 mo ago | Due ~July |
| Dental | Bright Dental | 5 mo ago | Next in fall |

**Kids (8, 12)**
| Well-child visit | Pediatrics | last summer | Due before school; sports physical needed for the 12-yr-old |
| Dental | Bright Dental | 6 mo ago | Due now (6-mo cycle) |

**Overdue / book first:**
1. Dad's physical (2 years out — you flagged this as the one that slips).
2. The 12-year-old's sports physical (school deadline — don't get caught).

**Booking sequence:** Dad's physical (specialist-adjacent, longer wait) → sports physical (deadline) → kids' dental (batch with each other) → Mom's physical (July) → Dad's dental + vision.

**Seasonal notes:** Schedule flu shots in early fall; confirm the school's sports-physical deadline now.
