Give every assigned issue a place to happen
Assignment creates responsibility, not time. Let Notis find the next workable window before the issue disappears into the queue.
Trigger
New Issue Assigned to Me
Action
Check calendar availability
Checks a calendar's free and busy times without revealing event details.
Why this helps
Assigned issues remain mentally active because no time is reserved to address them.
- Converts assignment into a concrete planning cue.
- Reduces the number of issues held in memory.
- Protects time for important maintenance work.

- 3Use this instruction: When a GitHub issue is assigned to me, check Cal for the next realistic focus windows and report them with the issue link.
