Weekly Review

Analyze daily notes, weekly planning notes, and meeting summaries to identify incomplete tasks, unresolved commitments, and recurring issues that need attention.

Invocation

• /weekly-review → Previous week (Monday-Sunday before today)
• /weekly-review 2025-03-12 → Week containing that date
• /weekly-review 2025-W12 → ISO week 12 of 2025

Data Sources

For the target week (Monday-Sunday):

1. Daily notes: _Daily/YYYY-QN/YYYY-MM-DD*.md
2. Weekly planning note: 0 - Weekly/YYYY-MM-DD - Week Of.md (Monday's date)
3. Meeting summaries: 99 - Zoom Meeting Summaries/* dated within the week
4. Prior weekly reviews: 0 - Weekly/YYYY-MM-DD - Weekly Review.md (for carryover context, up to 4 weeks back)

Process

1. Determine target week

   • Default: previous Monday-Sunday, use CLI to determine dates
   • If date provided: find containing Monday-Sunday
   • If ISO week provided: calculate Monday-Sunday for that week

2. Gather notes

   • Read daily notes for each day of target week
   • Read weekly planning note if exists
   • Read meeting summaries dated within target week
   • Read up to 4 prior weekly reviews for carryover context

3. Extract and analyze

   • Incomplete tasks (- [ ]) from daily notes
   • Tasks marked under ## Priority sections
   • Action items and commitments from meeting summaries
   • Items appearing in prior weekly reviews that remain unresolved

4. Categorize findings

   • Requires Attention: Important items at risk of being dropped
   • Carried Forward: Tasks from this week still open
   • Meeting Commitments: Action items from meetings
   • Unresolved from Previous Weeks: Items from prior reviews still open
   • Themes: Recurring topics or blockers

5. Write review

   • Output to 0 - Weekly/YYYY-MM-DD - Weekly Review.md
   • Overwrite if exists (re-run is intentional)
