ProcrastiMate.io

Professional-grade procrastination, engineered.

ProcrastiMate is a satirical CLI tool that helps you delay tasks responsibly by:

• detecting vague tasks
• generating realistic corporate excuses
• rescheduling work in a believable way

This is not a productivity tool.
It is a plausibility engine.

✨ Features

• 🧠 Detects vague vs clear tasks using heuristics
• 💬 Generates realistic, manager-safe excuses
• 🗓 Suggests plausible new deadlines
• 🖥 Clean CLI interface
• 🔍 Deterministic & explainable (no random LLM chaos)

📦 Installation

pip install procrastimate

🚀 Usage

procrastimate "enable QR for subs flow" --severity high

Example output

🕒 ProcrastiMate Decision

Task      : enable QR for subs flow
Vague     : Yes
Excuse    : We need to ensure cross-functional alignment and clarify ownership before moving forward.
New Date  : 2025-12-31

⚙️ CLI Options

Flag Description Default

--severity	Task urgency: low, medium, high	medium
--audience	Target audience: manager, client, self	manager

🧠 How It Works

The task is analyzed for vagueness using keyword-based heuristics

An excuse template is selected based on:

• task clarity
• severity
• audience

A new date is suggested based on plausibility, not efficiency

No calendars. No optimization. No accountability.

⚠️ Disclaimer

This project is satire.

Do not use ProcrastiMate to:

• deceive clients
• avoid responsibilities
• justify bad engineering decisions

(But also… I know you will.)
