Weekly Reflection

Run this at the end of each week (Friday afternoon or Monday morning looking back) to identify patterns and maintain long-term focus.

Workflow

1. Review the week's journal entries

Search memory for this week's entries. Look for:

• Recurring themes: What kept coming up?
• Friction points: Where did things get stuck?
• Wins: What went well? What made it go well?
• Patterns: Any behaviours or approaches that helped or hindered?

2. Audit commitments.md

For each item in state/commitments.md:

Age	Action
< 1 week	Keep, ensure it has clear next action
1-2 weeks	Evaluate: still relevant? Add context or escalate
> 2 weeks	Either break into smaller pieces, escalate to Matt, or acknowledge it's not happening and remove

Flag anything that's been stuck without progress.

3. Review project files

For each file in state/projects/:

• Is the project still active? Archive if not
• Is the status accurate? Update if stale
• Any decisions made this week that should be recorded?

4. Check ambient-tasks.md

• Remove completed tasks
• Add any new ambient tasks identified this week
• Prioritise based on what would be most valuable

5. Review topics (working knowledge)

For each file in state/topics/:

• Is it still accurate? Update if understanding has changed
• Is it still relevant? Archive if obsolete
• Any gaps? Look for concepts mentioned this week that don't have topics yet
• Any topics that could be merged or split?

Consider: What did I learn this week that I'd want to remember in 3 months?

7. Consider identity updates

Read state/identity.md and consider:

• Any new patterns learned about how to work effectively?
• Any values or principles that should be made explicit?
• Any conventions that have emerged that should be documented?

If updates needed, propose specific edits.

8. Write weekly summary

Log a journal entry with topic "weekly-reflection" containing:

• 3-5 bullet summary of the week
• Key patterns observed
• Focus areas for next week
• Any identity/process improvements
• Topics added or revised

9. Commit

Stage and commit all changes with message: "Weekly reflection: [date range]"

This week:

• [Key accomplishments]

Patterns noticed:

• [Observations about work habits, blockers, etc.]

Next week focus:
