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:
- Spawns three agents to work in parallel
- Collector reads daily notes and extracts highlights
- Goal-analyzer reads all goal files and calculates progress
- Project-scanner reads all project CLAUDE.md files for status
- 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
