Automation Features

Auto-Archive

Suggest moving daily notes older than 30 days to Archives.

Project Status Update

For each active project:

• Update completion percentage
• Note blockers
• Set next actions

Habit Tracking

Calculate habit success rates from daily notes:

• Count habit checkboxes
• Show completion percentage

Best Practices

Consistent Timing

• Same day each week (Sunday recommended)
• Same time if possible
• Block calendar time
• Treat as non-negotiable

Preparation

• Clean inbox before review
• Have calendar ready
• Gather project updates
• Review any feedback

Follow-through

• Share highlights with team/family
• Update external systems
• Communicate changes
• Celebrate wins

Task-Based Progress Tracking

The weekly skill uses session tasks to show progress through the 3-phase review.

Phase Tasks

Create tasks at skill start:

TaskCreate:
  subject: "Phase 1: Collect"
  description: "Gather daily notes from past week, extract wins and challenges"
  activeForm: "Collecting daily notes and extracting highlights..."

TaskCreate:
  subject: "Phase 2: Reflect"
  description: "Calculate goal progress, analyze alignment gaps"
  activeForm: "Calculating goal progress and alignment..."

TaskCreate:
  subject: "Phase 3: Plan"
  description: "Identify ONE Big Thing, plan daily focus areas for next week"
  activeForm: "Planning next week's focus..."

Dependencies

Phases must run in order:

TaskUpdate: "Phase 2: Reflect", addBlockedBy: [phase-1-collect-id]
TaskUpdate: "Phase 3: Plan", addBlockedBy: [phase-2-reflect-id]

Reflect is blocked until Collect completes. Plan is blocked until Reflect completes. This provides visibility into the 30-minute review process.

Mark each task in_progress when starting, completed when done using TaskUpdate.

Task tools are session-scoped and don't persist between Claude sessions—your actual weekly review content is saved in the review note.

Agent Team Workflow (Optional)

For a faster, more thorough weekly review, use agent teams to parallelize the collection phase:

Team Lead (coordinator)
├── collector agent — Read all daily notes, extract wins/challenges/tasks
├── goal-analyzer agent — Read goal files, calculate progress, find gaps
└── project-scanner agent — Scan Projects/*/CLAUDE.md, get status updates

How to Use

When invoking /weekly, you can request the team-based approach:

/weekly
"Use the team approach for a thorough review"

The team lead:

1. Spawns three agents to work in parallel
2. Collector reads daily notes and extracts highlights
3. Goal-analyzer reads all goal files and calculates progress
4. Project-scanner reads all project CLAUDE.md files for status
5. Team lead synthesizes findings into the weekly review note

This makes the review faster (parallel collection) and more thorough (dedicated analysis per area).

Vault Health Check (Ad-hoc)

The weekly review can optionally include a vault health check using multiple agents:

• note-organizer: Scan for broken links, orphan notes
• goal-aligner: Check daily-to-goal alignment
• inbox-processor: Check for unprocessed items

Request with: "Include a vault health check in my weekly review"

Integration

Works with:

• /daily - Reviews daily notes from the week
• /monthly - Weekly reviews feed monthly rollup
• /project - Project status in review
• /push - Commit after completing review
• /onboard - Load context for informed review
• Goal tracking skill - Progress calculations
