Weekly Review

Comprehensive review across all life areas and projects.

When to Use

• Weekly (suggest: Sunday evening or Monday morning)
• When feeling scattered or overwhelmed
• After returning from break/holiday
• User runs /review

Execution Steps

Step 1: Get context

date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"

Read current state:

• state/focus.md
• state/projects.json
• state/journal.jsonl (last 7 entries)
• state/session-context.json

Step 2: Review sessions

List recent sessions (files are named YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-topic.md):

ls -1 sessions/ | tail -10

Read the recent session files to understand what was explored last week.

Step 3: Check inbox

ls -la inbox/

Flag:

• Item count
• Anything older than 7 days (stale)
• Patterns in what's accumulating

Step 4: Review each area

For each area in areas/:

• What happened this week?
• Any open loops?
• Anything neglected?

Review the life areas defined in user-context.md. Common areas:

• Career - Work status, professional development
• Family - Upcoming commitments, quality time
• Health - Exercise, fitness consistency
• Finance - Any actions needed
• Projects - Side project progress

Step 5: Review projects specifically

Read state/projects.json and for each project:

• What moved forward?
• What's blocked?
• What's the next milestone?

Update state/projects.json with current status.

Step 6: Pattern detection

Query state/journal.jsonl for patterns:

• Which topics keep recurring?
• Energy levels over the week
• Any areas consistently absent?

Step 7: Update focus.md

Rewrite state/focus.md with:

• This week's priorities
• What's on the mind
• Any shifts in focus

Step 8: Generate review document

Create sessions/YYYY-MM-DD-weekly-review.md:

---
title: "Weekly Review: [date range]"
created: YYYY-MM-DD
tags: [review, weekly]
---
