When & Why to Use This Skill

The Weekly Review skill automates the essential productivity habit of auditing your work week. By analyzing daily notes, meeting summaries, and task lists, it proactively surfaces high-priority items at risk of being overlooked and tracks unresolved commitments. It generates a structured markdown report that provides a clear overview of your progress, themes, and recommended actions, ensuring seamless continuity and improved accountability in your workflow.

Use Cases

  • Task Recovery: Automatically scan daily notes and meeting summaries to identify incomplete tasks or 'dropped' commitments that weren't moved to a formal tracker.
  • Meeting Accountability: Extract action items from Zoom meeting summaries and cross-reference them with weekly goals to ensure all stakeholder commitments are met.
  • Productivity Auditing: Generate backfilled reviews for previous weeks to identify recurring blockers, themes, and long-term unresolved issues for better quarterly planning.
  • Workflow Continuity: Use the 'Carried Forward' and 'Unresolved' sections to maintain context between weeks, preventing important but non-urgent tasks from disappearing.

Weekly Review

Analyze daily notes, weekly planning notes, and meeting summaries to identify incomplete tasks, unresolved commitments, and recurring issues that need attention.

Invocation

  • /weekly-review → Previous week (Monday-Sunday before today)
  • /weekly-review 2025-03-12 → Week containing that date
  • /weekly-review 2025-W12 → ISO week 12 of 2025

Data Sources

For the target week (Monday-Sunday):

  1. Daily notes: _Daily/YYYY-QN/YYYY-MM-DD*.md
  2. Weekly planning note: 0 - Weekly/YYYY-MM-DD - Week Of.md (Monday's date)
  3. Meeting summaries: 99 - Zoom Meeting Summaries/* dated within the week
  4. Prior weekly reviews: 0 - Weekly/YYYY-MM-DD - Weekly Review.md (for carryover context, up to 4 weeks back)

Process

  1. Determine target week

    • Default: previous Monday-Sunday, use CLI to determine dates
    • If date provided: find containing Monday-Sunday
    • If ISO week provided: calculate Monday-Sunday for that week

  2. Gather notes

    • Read daily notes for each day of target week
    • Read weekly planning note if exists
    • Read meeting summaries dated within target week
    • Read up to 4 prior weekly reviews for carryover context

  3. Extract and analyze

    • Incomplete tasks (- [ ]) from daily notes
    • Tasks marked under ## Priority sections
    • Action items and commitments from meeting summaries
    • Items appearing in prior weekly reviews that remain unresolved

  4. Categorize findings

    • Requires Attention: Important items at risk of being dropped
    • Carried Forward: Tasks from this week still open
    • Meeting Commitments: Action items from meetings
    • Unresolved from Previous Weeks: Items from prior reviews still open
    • Themes: Recurring topics or blockers

  5. Write review

    • Output to 0 - Weekly/YYYY-MM-DD - Weekly Review.md
    • Overwrite if exists (re-run is intentional)

Determining Importance

Flag items as "Requires Attention" when:

  • Marked under ## Priority in daily notes
  • Noted with a double-bag !!
  • Mentioned in multiple daily notes without completion
  • Explicit deadline mentioned
  • Blocking other work
  • External commitment (from meeting, to another person)
  • Carried forward from 2+ prior weeks

Backfill Usage

When processing historical weeks, run in chronological order so each review can reference prior reviews for accurate carryover tracking.

Example sequence for backfilling January 2025:

/weekly-review 2025-W01
/weekly-review 2025-W02
/weekly-review 2025-W03
/weekly-review 2025-W04
