Run a weekly review and planning session. Keep it conversational - one section at a time.
Step 0: Get Week Info
date +%Y-%m-%d # Today date +%Y-W%V # Current ISO week date -d "last sunday" +%Y-%m-%d # Week start (for lookback)
Step 1: Weekly Note Setup
- •Check if this week's note exists:
my-vault/02 Calendar/YYYY-Www.md - •If not, create from
09 System/Templates/Weekly Template.md- •Replace Templater placeholders with actual dates
- •The week note format is
YYYY-[W]ww(e.g.,2026-W03)
Step 2: Journal Completeness Check
Critical: Verify all 7 days have journal entries and content.
# List last 7 days' journal files
for i in {0..6}; do
d=$(date -d "$i days ago" +%Y-%m-%d)
f="my-vault/02 Calendar/$d.md"
if [[ -f "$f" ]]; then
lines=$(wc -l < "$f")
echo "$d: EXISTS ($lines lines)"
else
echo "$d: MISSING"
fi
done
For each existing entry, check if sections are filled in:
- •"# What Did I Do?" - should have content
- •"# What Did I Work On?" - should have content
- •"# What Did I Study?" - optional but note if empty
Report gaps: "These days are missing entries: ..." or "These entries look empty: ..." Offer to fill in: "Want me to check GitHub for commits on those days to help fill them in?"
Step 3: Review the Week
GitHub Activity (all week)
gh search commits --author=TaylorHuston --committer-date=YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD --limit=50
Summarize by project/repo.
Journal Highlights
Read each day's journal and extract:
- •Personal: From "What Did I Do?"
- •Technical: From "What Did I Work On?"
- •Learning: From "What Did I Study?"
Present as a brief week summary, not raw dump.
Learning Progress
- •Check
.claude/learning-sessions/learning-plan.jsonif exists - •Note topics covered, sessions completed
Project Progress
- •Scan
ideas/*/issues/for any WORKLOG.md updates this week - •Note completed tasks, status changes
Step 4: Fill In Weekly Note
Update the weekly note (my-vault/02 Calendar/YYYY-Www.md) sections:
- •What Went Well: Ask Taylor
- •What Didn't Go Well: Ask Taylor
- •Key Accomplishments: Summarize from review
- •Lessons Learned: Ask Taylor
Step 5: Plan Next Week
Ask Taylor (one at a time):
- •"Any interviews or job search priorities this week?"
- •"What's the one thing that would make next week a success?"
- •"Any personal commitments to work around?"
Fill in "Next Week's Focus" section with their answers.
Step 6: Memory Capture
Review conversation for memory-worthy items:
- •Job search updates
- •New preferences or workflow changes
- •Project decisions
- •Personal context changes
Update .claude/memories/about-taylor.md if job status or major context changed.
Conversational Flow
Don't dump everything at once. Flow should be:
- •"Let me check your journal entries for this week..." → Report gaps
- •"Here's what I found from your week..." → Brief summary
- •"What went well this week?" → Capture response
- •"What didn't go well?" → Capture response
- •"Any lessons learned?" → Capture response
- •"Looking ahead - any job search priorities?" → Plan next week
- •"What would make next week a success?" → Set focus
- •"I've updated your weekly note. Anything else?"
