End of Week (/eow) Workflow
Complete your week by archiving finished tasks, cleaning up your task list, and preparing for the upcoming week.
Overview
The /eow workflow is your weekly cleanup routine:
- Scan Completed Tasks - Find all tasks marked [x] in Tasks/Main.md
- Archive Task Files - Move completed task files to Tasks/_archive/
- Clean Main.md - Remove completed tasks from the active list
- Review Uncompleted - Assess tasks that didn't get done this week
- Prepare Next Week - Set up fresh task list for the coming week
- Summary - Show what was archived and what's pending
This complements /today (morning startup) and /eob (daily processing) by providing weekly maintenance.
Execution Context: This skill runs as a forked conversation using the assistant agent, which provides full access to vault operations, file management, and task manipulation.
Workflow Steps
Step 1: Read Tasks/Main.md
Read the current state of the task list. Parse the structure to extract:
- Completed tasks: Lines with
- [x]
- Uncompleted tasks: Lines with
- [ ]
- Section they're in: "Due Today", "Due This Week", "Ongoing"
Step 2: Identify Completed Task Files
For each completed task [x], extract the task name from wiki-link:
- Pattern:
- [x] [[Task Name]]
- File path:
Tasks/Task Name.md
Verify file exists and read full content for archival.
Step 3: Present Completion Summary
Show user:
- Completed tasks that will be archived (with metadata)
- Uncompleted tasks that need rescheduling
- Proposed actions with options for uncompleted tasks
Step 4: Handle Uncompleted Tasks
Ask user how to handle tasks not completed this week:
Option A: Keep existing due dates (tasks become overdue)
Option B: Auto-reschedule to next Friday (recommended)
Option C: Review individually
- Show each task one-by-one
- Ask: "Reschedule to next week, move to Ongoing, or archive as not needed?"
Step 5: Execute Archival
After user approval:
Archive Completed Task Files
- Move files to
Tasks/_archive/
- Verify moves succeeded
Update Uncompleted Task Due Dates (if Option B or C chosen)
- Update
dueDate in frontmatter to next Friday
Clean Tasks/Main.md
- Remove all lines with
- [x]
- Clear "Due Today" section (clean slate)
- Keep uncompleted tasks in "Due This Week"
- Preserve "Ongoing" section unchanged
Step 6: Generate Next Week Summary
Display:
- Number of tasks completed and archived
- Next week's task count
- Tasks/Main.md status confirmation
Special Cases
No Completed Tasks
Still clean up Main.md structure, prepare for next week.
All Tasks Completed
Archive all, clear Main.md completely.
Orphaned Links
Task in Main.md but file doesn't exist. Recommend removing orphaned links.
Tasks with Project Folders
Only move standalone task files, not project folders.
PM-Synced Tasks
Conditional: Only applies if project management integration is configured.
If a completed task was synced from a PM tool (has linear or similar tag):
- Archive normally
- Remind user to mark as Done in the PM tool if not already done
Date Calculation
Use bash date command to calculate:
- This week's Friday
- Next week's Friday

Workflow Comparison
| Aspect | /eob | /today | /eow |

| Frequency | Daily (evening) | Daily (morning) | Weekly (Friday) |
| Purpose | Process Inbox | Sync & plan day | Archive & prepare week |
| Input | Inbox files | PM tool + Email + Tasks | Tasks/Main.md |

Tips for Best Results
- Run on Friday afternoon/evening
- Review before archiving - Make sure tasks are truly complete
- Be realistic about rescheduling - Don't just push everything forward
- Archive liberally - Completed is completed
- Check PM tool status - Mark issues Done if tasks are archived
