# Moodle: pending work and plan

Goal: turn the user's Moodle into a prioritized, actionable view of what's due,
and optionally a concrete plan for the next deadline.

Uses the `moodle-student` MCP tools (and, for planning, the
`moodle-materials` workflow to read the assignment's files).

## Steps

1. **(Optional) Confirm connection** with `whoami` if not already verified this
   session.
2. **Get the timeline.** Call `get_upcoming_deadlines(days=N)` — default N=14,
   widen/narrow to match the request.
3. **Get full due dates.** Call `list_assignments()` and reconcile with the
   timeline (the timeline only shows dated, actionable events).
4. **Check what's done.** For each near-term assignment, call
   `get_submission_status(assign_id)`. A `submission_status` other than
   "submitted" means it is NOT turned in yet — flag it.
5. **Catch undated assignments.** Some courses leave assignments with NO due
   date, so they never appear in get_upcoming_deadlines. For each course, also
   call `list_assignments([course_id])` and run `get_submission_status` on every
   assignment to find the pending ones. Status map: `"submitted"` = done;
   `"new"` = draft saved but NOT submitted (pending); `null`/empty = never
   opened (pending). If some assignments in the course already show
   `"submitted"`, the course uses the submit-for-grading flow, so `"new"`
   genuinely means not turned in.
6. **Find announced dates.** When assignments lack a due date, professors
   usually post deadlines/presentation dates as plain text in the announcements
   forum. Call `list_forums([course_id])`, pick the forum with `type == "news"`
   (the news/announcements forum), and `get_forum_discussions(forum_id)` to read it.
7. **Prioritize and present.** Show a clear table: task, course, due date (or
   "announced (news forum): <date>" / "no date"), status (submitted / pending /
   graded). Sort by due date. Use **absolute dates** and call out anything
   overdue or due within 48h.
8. **Plan (on request).** For the next deadline, pull the assignment's material
   (`list_files` + `download_files`, then open the brief/PDF) and produce a
   realistic step-by-step plan with time estimates up to the due date.

## Notes
- Reply in the user's language.
- Course names from Moodle are verbose (they embed class code, weekday, time,
  professor); show a short, clean course label in tables.
- Items with no due date won't appear in get_upcoming_deadlines — that's why
  steps 5–6 cross-check submission status and the news/announcements forum. Always do this
  for a complete picture; never rely on the timeline alone.
- If a tool says the user is not signed in, follow the `moodle-setup` skill.
