week-review

Purpose

Create a synthesis of the week reviewing activity, progress, and what was accomplished. Uses concrete metrics, not vague percentages.

Data Sources

1. Task Progress

• 03-Tasks/Tasks.md — Task completion status
• 02-Week_Priorities/Week_Priorities.md — Weekly priorities

2. Project Activity

• 04-Projects/**/*.md — Modified this week

3. Meetings & People

• 00-Inbox/Meetings/*.md — Meeting notes from this week
• People/**/*.md — Person pages updated

4. Learnings

• 06-Resources/Learnings/**/*.md — Explicit learnings
• System/Session_Learnings/*.md — Auto-captured session learnings

5. Daily Reviews

• 07-Archives/Reviews/Daily_Review_YYYY-MM-DD.md — This week's reviews

6. Journals (If Enabled)

• 00-Inbox/Journals/YYYY/MM-Month/ — Morning/evening journals

Analysis Process

1. Weekly Priority Completion (Concrete, Not Percentages)

Don't say: "Goal X went from 40% to 55%" Do say: "You completed 2 of 3 weekly priorities"

Use: get_week_progress()

For each weekly priority:

• Complete: ✅ What was the deliverable? When did you finish?
• In Progress: 🔄 What specifically got done? What's left?
• Not Started: ❌ Why? Should it carry forward?

Surface concrete accomplishments:

"This week's priorities:

1. ✅ Ship pricing page — Complete (pushed to prod Wednesday)

   • Deliverable: New pricing page live at /pricing
   • Tasks completed: 5 of 5

2. 🔄 Write Q1 strategy doc — 60% complete

   • Done: Outline, competitive analysis, recommendations
   • Remaining: Executive summary, financial projections
   • 2 tasks left

3. ❌ Customer interviews — Not started

   • Reason: Calendar was too stacked
   • Recommendation: Carry to next week with protected time"

2. Task Completion Stats (Concrete Numbers)

Scan 03-Tasks/Tasks.md for completion timestamps from this week:

• Count tasks completed (look for ✅ YYYY-MM-DD in date range)
• Count tasks added mid-week
• Count tasks carried over

Surface:

"Tasks this week:

• Completed: 14 tasks
• Added mid-week: 6 tasks (scope creep?)
• Carried over: 3 tasks

Completion rate: 82% (14 of 17 planned)"

3. Quarterly Goals Progress (Concrete Milestones)

Don't use fake percentages. Use milestone counts and specific accomplishments.

Use: get_quarterly_goals()
Use: get_goal_status(goal_id) for each goal

For each goal:

• Milestones completed this week
• Total milestones done vs. total
• Weeks since last milestone
• Specific accomplishments that moved the goal

"Quarterly Goals Progress:

Goal	Milestones	This Week	Status
Launch v2.0	3 of 5	+1 (Pricing page shipped)	On track
Improve NPS	1 of 4	No change	⚠️ Stalled (3 weeks)
Team Capacity	2 of 3	No change	On track

Goal 1 advanced because you completed Priority 1. Goal 2 needs attention — no linked work completed this week."

4. Daily Completion Rate Trend (NEW)

If daily reviews exist, calculate completion trends:

"Daily plan completion this week:

Day	Planned	Done	Rate
Mon	3	2	67%
Tue	3	3	100%
Wed	3	2	67%
Thu	3	1	33%
Fri	3	2	67%

Week average: 67% Pattern: Thursday was rough (too many meetings?)"

5. Meeting Analysis

Review meeting notes from the week:

• Meetings held
• Key decisions
• Action items created
• Follow-ups that might have slipped

6. Learning Compilation & Pattern Detection

Review System/Session_Learnings/ files from this week:

Pattern Detection:

• Recurring issues: Same mistake 2+ times? Suggest adding to Mistake_Patterns.md
• Consistent preferences: User repeatedly mentioned a workflow preference?

"This week's session learnings revealed:

Recurring Issues:

• Calendar overload (mentioned 3 times) — Consider blocking focus time

Workflow Preferences:

• Prefer morning for deep work (mentioned 2 times)

Should I add these to your pattern files?"
