I'm very new to extending Emacs. I just started using org-agenda and I'm loving it so far. My approach to todos is probably more granular than most: I have my major goals as separate org files and separate directories, which I call paths, e.g.
paths
├── master_path.org
├── get_fit
│ └── get_fit_path.org
├── get_healthy
│ └── get_healthy_path.org
├── get_productive
│ ├── deep-work.pdf
│ ├── get_productive_path.org
│ ├── get_productive_path.org~

The org files labeled _path.org may contain the name of a subfolder that contains futher org files containing todo items.
For example:
learn_IT_path.org
* TODO learn programming languages [#A]
* TODO learn databases
Requirement 1
Now, because there is a folder called "learn_programming_languages" at the same level as learn_IT_path.org, this means any todos therein should automatically be assigned [#A] priority. How can I do this?
Requirement 2
If a nested org file that inherits a priority status from its parent is given a priority status within that file, the statuses are combined into a string, e.g.
# learn_programming_languages_path.org
* TODO learn python [#A]
* TODO learn APL [#C]
i.e. learn Python would end up with a priority [#AA], while learn APL gets [#AC]
If I assigned [#A] to learn_IT in master_path.org, then, learn Python would get [#AAA]
The order of todo items in org-agenda would be displayed accordingly.
Would this functionality be hard to do for someone new to extending emacs?
