| name | weekly |
| description | Generate a management-facing weekly report from Tracework raw entries, using git only as limited fallback coverage. Supports work, personal, and private all-project scopes. Three modes: quick conversation review ("这周做了啥", "周报简版", "quick weekly", "本周概要"), default Markdown brief ("写周报", "周报", "/tracework:weekly", "weekly brief", "本周总结", "weekly report"), and PPT-ready Markdown Deck only when weekly PPT is explicit ("weekly PPT", "周报 PPT", "weekly slides", "演示大纲"). Do not use for daily notes, generic slide decks, or single-commit analysis.

Tracework Weekly
Turn a week of agent work into an objective-anchored feedback loop: what the
period was meant to advance, what actually changed, why reality diverged, what
management judgment follows, and what commitment comes next. Preserve all
meaningful work without inventing a retrospective goal.
Modes
Resolve mode before gathering evidence. Prefer the strongest explicit cue.
Priority when cues conflict: slides > quick > brief.
| Mode | Triggers (examples) | Output | Write files | Heavy slide rules |
|---|
quick | 这周做了啥, 周报简版, quick weekly, 本周概要 | Conversation 5–7 bullets + carried-forward | No | No |
brief | 写周报, 周报, /tracework:weekly, weekly brief, 本周总结, weekly report | Management brief | Yes when vault exists; else conversation | No |
slides | weekly PPT, 周报 PPT, weekly slides, 演示大纲; or PPT/slides only after this skill is already selected for a weekly report | Standalone PPT-ready Markdown Deck, max 8 main slides | Same as brief | Yes |
Default is brief when the request is a normal weekly report without PPT or
quick wording. Do not treat bare “PPT” or “slides” alone as a reason to start
this skill; those words select slides mode only inside an already weekly
report request.
Slide mode is a presentation projection over the weekly analysis, not a
paginated copy of the Markdown brief. The default slide audience is an
individual contributor reporting inside a department to managers and peers.
Progressive References
Always:
references/reporting-narrative-contract.md for scope partition, selection,
closure, evidence, and audience safety.
For Weekly, the goal-loop rules below replace the shared contract's default
headline and next-target counts. Scope, evidence, closure, and audience-safety
rules remain unchanged.
For brief and slides only:
references/weekly-analysis-contract.md for structured analysis. Use the brief
analysis path unless mode is slides.
references/weekly-brief-template.md for brief output (and as analysis
backbone before slides).
For slides only:
- Full slide sections in
references/weekly-analysis-contract.md
references/slide-template.md
Do not read slide-template.md for quick or brief.
Inputs and Output
Resolve {vault} from project then global .tracework/config.yaml.
Defaults:
- Date range: current Monday through today.
- Scope: resolve with First-Run and Local Fallback below. Do not silently force
unassigned projects into
work.
- Mode: as above; default
brief.
- Brief/slides file output:
{vault}/Work Diary/Weekly/{YYYY-WNN}.md, unless
the user or config provides another path. Write that file only for normal
scoped group output. Quick mode, no-vault runs, and local first-run stay in
conversation so unassigned content is not written into workplace weekly files.
If the target brief/slides file exists, ask before overwriting unless the user
requested update, rewrite, or overwrite. If no vault exists, return brief or
slides content in conversation. Quick mode always stays in conversation.
Cold-start is optional upgrade copy, never a hard gate.
First-Run and Local Fallback
Weekly must produce value without prior setup.
Scope resolution
- If the user explicitly names
all or an exact reporting group such as
work or personal, that scope is explicit.
- Else if
profile.default_reporting_group is configured, that scope is
configured.
- Else the scope is implicit.
Partition rules
-
Explicit or configured work / personal / named group:
- Include only matching projects.
- Exclude
unassigned. Never promote unassigned into work.
- If empty because the current project is unassigned, return a clear
excluded/empty result with repair hint:
/tracework:cold-start-interview or set profile.reporting_group.
- Do not fail the skill.
-
Implicit scope (no explicit group, no configured default):
- If the current project has a
reporting_group, use that group.
- If the current project is
unassigned or has no project config, enter
local first-run:
- Report only the current repository.
- Label scope
local (unassigned), never work.
- Use git plus any raw entries for that repo.
- Mark git-only material
limited.
- Hint that workplace-scoped reports need
reporting_group.
- Do not mix unrelated assigned vault projects into a local first-run.
No vault
-
Always allowed for quick, brief, and slides.
-
Write nothing to disk.
-
Keep the narrative short; use conversation output.
-
End brief/slides with at most one upgrade line:
可选:配置 knowledge vault 后可跨天累计并写入文件。/tracework:cold-start-interview
-
Do not imply the run failed because setup is missing.
Empty signal
If local first-run has no raw entries and no meaningful git activity, return a
short empty-state and suggest capture or waiting for more work signal.
Conversation brief shape (no vault or local first-run)
When not writing the weekly file, a compact brief is enough:
## {YYYY-WNN} · {work | personal | all | local}
**目标与判断:** {confirmed goal, inferred goal with boundary, or 目标未记录};…
### 目标推进
- {goal}: {actual change and status}
### 偏差与决策
- {variance, replanning, decision, support, or unplanned material change}
### 下周承诺
- {commitment}: {pass/fail closure criterion}
### 证据边界
- raw / git / limited 各一句
---
可选:配置 knowledge vault 后可跨天累计并写入文件。`/tracework:cold-start-interview`
Workflow
0. Resolve Mode, Range, and Scope
- Choose
quick, brief, or slides from the mode table.
- Resolve week range and scope class (explicit / configured / implicit).
- If mode is
quick, follow Quick Mode and stop after its quality gate.
- Otherwise continue with partition → evidence → goals → analysis → write.
1. Resolve and Partition
- Load projects from the prompt,
raw/projects.json, or current repo.
- Resolve each project's
reporting_group from project config, then registry.
- Apply First-Run and Local Fallback with the audience-safety rules.
- For normal scoped output, filter to the exact requested group. For
all,
keep groups separate throughout analysis and writing.
- Exclude unassigned projects from scoped
work / personal output and
report the missing classification. Show them separately only in all.
- For local first-run, keep a single
local lane for the current repo.
2. Gather Evidence
For every in-scope project or the local lane:
- Read matching
{vault}/raw/weeks/{week}/{slug}.json entries when a vault
exists.
- Read the previous Weekly's next-period items as editorial context when it
exists. Preserve whether each item was a confirmed commitment or only a
report proposal; never silently promote a proposal.
- Read explicit goal sources available in the request or project, such as a
milestone or current
PLAN artifact. Read only sources needed to establish
the reporting goal.
- Read optional artifact dossiers for navigation and recorded scope.
- Run a lightweight git log only to detect uncovered work.
- Merge duplicate raw/git signals before analysis.
- Without a vault, use git coverage and conversation context only.
Raw entries are the semantic source. Git-only work remains limited and cannot
substantiate a completed outcome or invented trade-off.
3. Resolve Goals and Prior Commitments
Resolve each goal lane from the strongest available source:
- an explicit goal in the current request;
- a confirmed commitment from the previous Weekly;
- an explicit milestone, plan, or project-goal artifact;
- a goal inferred from raw motivation, decision, or carry-forward;
unknown.
Record the goal statement, source, confidence, closure criterion, status, and
commitment state. Confidence is confirmed, inferred, or unknown; status is
met, advanced, blocked, replanned, or not_started; commitment state is
confirmed or proposed.
For brief and slides, if no reliable goal exists, ask at most one question:
这周原本最重要的是推进什么?
If the user skips it, continue with 目标未记录. Never backfill a confirmed Why
from completed activities. Quick mode does not ask this question.
reporting_group is an audience and privacy boundary, not proof that its
projects share one objective. Keep separate goal lanes when no common goal is
recorded.
4. Analyze Change and Variance (brief and slides)
Apply references/weekly-analysis-contract.md in the main dialog. For brief,
do not build slide candidates, diagrams, or chart briefs unless the user later
upgrades to slides.
For every prior commitment, record whether it was met, advanced, blocked,
replanned, or not started. No prior commitment may disappear.
Connect every material weekly change to a goal lane. When no honest link exists,
label it unplanned but material or keep it in the portfolio. Preserve the old
goal, evidence trigger, reason, and new direction for replanned work.
Rank goal-linked and unplanned material changes inside each reporting group by:
- observable end-state significance;
- management relevance;
- evidence strength;
- effect on the next planning decision.
Write one weekly judgment per group. Do not force a headline count. Multiple
activities may support one change, and one goal may need multiple changes when
they carry distinct management meaning. Put every remaining meaningful stream
in the portfolio table. Do not allocate prose by entry count.
5. Project the Brief When Requested
Skip for quick and slides. For brief, apply Brief Projection in
references/weekly-analysis-contract.md: keep only blocks whose removal would
change judgment, action, or confidence in the body; route accountability,
coverage, and provenance to the appendix. Use one expanded home per fact and no
fixed length or item count.
6. Build the PPT-ready Markdown Deck
Skip this entire step for quick and brief. Run it only for slides.
Transform the stable Weekly Analysis and its raw sources into presentation
content that is independently readable before applying references/slide-template.md.
- State the deck context, overall goal, and management question. Select results
for their contribution to that job, not implementation volume.
- Group selected results into necessary Stories. State one public
Why and
Goal at the start of each Story; these belong to the presentation content,
not to production notes.
- Apply Cognitive Task Decomposition from
references/weekly-analysis-contract.md. Internally identify only necessary
problem_reframe, design_rationale, mechanism, validation, and
decision tasks. Keep their intended_takeaway internal.
- Apply Content Materialization from the same contract. Reopen raw sources
and build internal Source Grounding Packets, then turn them into actual
presentation content: facts, conflicts, comparisons, Mermaid relationships,
tables, numbers, paths, branches, fallbacks, invariants, risks, and gates.
- Split only when two content blocks are independent cognitive steps serving
the same Story Goal and the second depends on the first. Otherwise merge.
- Put only compact claim-to-source mapping in the Evidence Appendix. Do not
expose source packets, cognitive roles, intended takeaways, layout
instructions, visual-style prescriptions, or production constraints.
- Delete any page whose removal does not break a Story Goal. Keep at most
eight necessary main slides.
Use these visual routes only in slides mode:
| Evidence or mechanism | Visual route |
|---|
| Comparable algorithm, model, quality, latency, cost, or throughput data | comparison, distribution, trend, timeline, or waterfall chart brief |
| One reliable number | number card |
| Architecture, process, ownership, or failure-path change | Before/After diagram |
| Concurrency, asynchronous stages, or stage collaboration | sequence or swimlane diagram |
| Data processing, aggregation, or materialized rebuild | data-flow diagram |
| Provider, model, or strategy dispatch | decision tree |
| Failure handling and fallback | failure-path diagram |
| Lifecycle or state transition | state machine |
| Component responsibility change | architecture relationship diagram |
If data is missing, incomparable, or contradictory, do not invent a chart.
Use a mechanism or state-change diagram, lower the evidence boundary, expose
the measurement gap, and name its closure criterion.
7. Write
quick: conversation only; see Quick Mode.
brief: use weekly-brief-template.md.
slides: use slide-template.md; the main deck has no minimum and at most
eight slides, excluding appendices.
- Keep claim-level evidence in the appendix. Main prose must be readable
without report-local ids.
- Preserve risks, unresolved decisions, and evidence gaps.
- Preserve confirmed versus proposed commitments and inferred versus confirmed
goals.
- Keep tables, full commitment accounting, portfolio coverage, and provenance
in the brief appendix. The brief body uses prose and bullets only.
- Keep
limited, conflicting, and expected-only boundaries beside the body
claim they qualify. Verified provenance can remain in the appendix.
- When evidence is thin or git-only, keep the main narrative short and mark
limited explicitly rather than padding with architecture theater.
Quick Mode
Triggers: 这周做了啥, 周报简版, quick weekly, 本周概要, and clear
equivalents.
Behavior:
- Resolve week range and scope class with First-Run and Local Fallback.
- Partition accordingly. Explicit/configured
work / personal still exclude
unassigned. Implicit unassigned current repo uses local.
- Read raw entries for in-scope projects when a vault exists. Optionally glance
at git to detect uncovered commits.
- Do not read
slide-template.md or build slide candidates, diagrams, or
implementation narratives.
- Output 5–7 bullets in the conversation only. Prefer
[archetype] summary-style lines grounded in raw fields; git-only bullets
stay bounded and limited.
- Append at most three carried-forward lines for open risks or unresolved
decisions.
- If no raw entries but meaningful git exists: say evidence is
limited, list
at most a few commit-derived bullets without inventing intent, and offer a
full brief.
- If no raw and no usable git: empty-state with a short hint to capture or run
a full brief after more work signal exists.
- If explicit scope excluded the current unassigned project, say so and point
to reporting_group setup instead of returning a silent empty list.
Suggested shape:
## {YYYY-WNN} 快速回顾({scope})
- [decision] …
- [build] …
- [repair] …
**结转**:… · …
Do not write vault files in quick mode. A single optional upgrade line is
allowed; do not block on cold-start.
Coverage
Calculate project coverage as raw entries versus uncovered commits, but put
coverage badges in the appendix or portfolio—not in the headline narrative.
- High: raw explains intent and status.
- Moderate: mixed raw and git-only gaps.
- Low: mostly git-only; narrative is limited.
- None: no usable work signal.
Coverage measures source completeness, not value. Quick mode may mention
coverage in one line; it does not need badges.
Quality Gate
Shared (all modes that emit scoped narrative)
- Scope class (explicit / configured / implicit-local) was resolved before
ranking or bullet selection.
work contains no personal or unassigned titles, paths, commits, artifacts, or refs.
- Local first-run is labeled
local / unassigned, never presented as safe work.
- Explicit scoped emptiness explains exclusion and repair without leaking
unassigned content into
work.
- No-vault runs return conversation output without blocking on cold-start.
- Evidence grades and uncertainty are preserved; git-only material stays
limited.
- Activity volume is never promoted into outcomes.
Quick only
- Conversation output only; no weekly file write.
- 5–7 bullets, plus at most three carried-forward lines.
- No slide structure, solution-logic diagrams, or implementation narratives.
Brief only
- Every group has exactly one weekly judgment.
- Every goal states its source, confidence, status, and closure criterion.
- Inferred or unknown goals never use confirmed-goal language.
- Every prior commitment is accounted for; proposals remain proposals.
- Every material change is goal-linked, explicitly unplanned, or in the
portfolio.
- Replanned work preserves the prior direction, evidence trigger, reason, and
new direction.
- Every meaningful remaining stream appears in the portfolio.
- Every unresolved risk or next commitment has a concrete closure criterion.
- The body alone reconstructs goal state, actual change, material variance,
decision or support, next commitment, and confidence boundary.
- Every body block survives counterfactual deletion; full prior-item,
portfolio, and evidence coverage stays in the appendix.
- The body contains no tables, source paths, commit lists, or evidence index.
- Appendix ledgers and mappings do not repeat body narrative.
- Brief mode does not require diagrams, implementation narratives, or charts.
Slides only
- The main deck has no minimum and never exceeds eight slides.
- The deck states one thesis and audience decision; slides form a cumulative
argument rather than mirror Weekly Analysis fields.
- Every Story starts once with public Why and Goal, then advances through only
the content required to complete that Goal.
- Titles name the current question, object, mechanism, comparison, or decision
gate; they do not leak the internal intended takeaway.
- Slides directly contain supported facts, relations, comparisons, mechanisms,
numbers, boundaries, and risks using Markdown, Mermaid, tables, quotes, or
concise lists.
- Complex design/mechanism results form two content pages under one Story only
when the second depends on the facts and trade-offs established by the first.
- Simple results remain one content page when one Before/After, relation, or
flow explains root cause, choice, and operation.
- A fresh reader can understand the Story sequence, Why, Goal, facts, relations,
numbers, and risks without a PPT or production instructions.
- A maker using only the Markdown Deck can perform visual translation without
vault research, semantic invention, or a new split decision.
- Removing any slide breaks its Story Goal or the deck's management question.
- Charts require comparable evidence; missing or conflicting data stays visible
without a fabricated chart.
- Mechanism completion, effect validation, and production acceptance are stated
separately.
- Main slides omit commit hashes, source locations, SDK line numbers, and raw
evidence ids unless the user explicitly requested a technical-review deck.
Anti-Patterns
All modes
- Flat project or commit list as the overview.
- Cross-group themes in
all mode.
- Activity volume promoted into outcomes.
- Retrofitting a confirmed Why from completed actions.
- Treating a report proposal as a prior commitment.
- Hiding a prior goal when evidence caused a replan.
- Forcing unrelated projects in one reporting group under a shared goal.
- Keeping a body block whose removal changes neither judgment, action, nor
confidence.
- Repeating the same narrative in the body and appendix.
- Hiding a blocked/replanned material item, decision request, or evidence
conflict only in the appendix.
- Hiding work because it did not qualify as a headline (brief/slides) or
omitting material risks from carried-forward (quick).
- Treating expected impact as an observed result.
- Treating code completion as production acceptance.
- Applying slides-only diagram or implementation-narrative gates to brief or
quick output.
Brief and slides
- Evidence ids dominating the spoken narrative.
Slides only
- One slide per stream by default.
- Fixed “design slide + implementation slide” pairs.
- A public Storyboard or Production Brief beside the public Markdown Deck.
Audience takeaway, Recommended visual form, Page composition,
On-slide copy, Production constraints, or page-level Source Grounding
Packet sections in the public deck.
- A title or body sentence that directly exposes the internal intended takeaway.
- Repeating Why or Goal on every slide instead of once per Story.
- A design slide that only supplies background, history, or option inventory.
- A mechanism slide that is only a module, field, code, or step list.
- Two slides that do not perform independent cognitive work.
- Content that makes the reader or PPT maker reopen the vault to discover the
actual claim, node, relationship, number, or risk.
- Layout, typography, color, card, or diagram-production instructions.
- A detail slide whose removal changes neither thesis nor audience decision.
- Topic-only slide titles such as
结果弧线一 or 工作组合状态.
- Charts without comparable evidence, units, or sample context.
- Decorative architecture diagrams with only component names and arrows.
- Using a solution-logic diagram as proof of effectiveness.
