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:

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]"

Output

This week:

• [Key accomplishments]

Patterns noticed:
