Purpose
Create a synthesis of the week reviewing activity, progress, and what was accomplished. Uses concrete metrics, not vague percentages.
Data Sources
1. Task Progress
- •
03-Tasks/Tasks.md— Task completion status - •
02-Week_Priorities/Week_Priorities.md— Weekly priorities
2. Project Activity
- •
04-Projects/**/*.md— Modified this week
3. Meetings & People
- •
00-Inbox/Meetings/*.md— Meeting notes from this week - •
People/**/*.md— Person pages updated
4. Learnings
- •
06-Resources/Learnings/**/*.md— Explicit learnings - •
System/Session_Learnings/*.md— Auto-captured session learnings
5. Daily Reviews
- •
07-Archives/Reviews/Daily_Review_YYYY-MM-DD.md— This week's reviews
6. Journals (If Enabled)
- •
00-Inbox/Journals/YYYY/MM-Month/— Morning/evening journals
Analysis Process
1. Weekly Priority Completion (Concrete, Not Percentages)
Don't say: "Goal X went from 40% to 55%" Do say: "You completed 2 of 3 weekly priorities"
Use: get_week_progress()
For each weekly priority:
- •Complete: ✅ What was the deliverable? When did you finish?
- •In Progress: 🔄 What specifically got done? What's left?
- •Not Started: ❌ Why? Should it carry forward?
Surface concrete accomplishments:
"This week's priorities:
- •✅ Ship pricing page — Complete (pushed to prod Wednesday)
- •Deliverable: New pricing page live at /pricing
- •Tasks completed: 5 of 5
- •🔄 Write Q1 strategy doc — 60% complete
- •Done: Outline, competitive analysis, recommendations
- •Remaining: Executive summary, financial projections
- •2 tasks left
- •❌ Customer interviews — Not started
- •Reason: Calendar was too stacked
- •Recommendation: Carry to next week with protected time"
2. Task Completion Stats (Concrete Numbers)
Scan 03-Tasks/Tasks.md for completion timestamps from this week:
- •Count tasks completed (look for
✅ YYYY-MM-DDin date range) - •Count tasks added mid-week
- •Count tasks carried over
Surface:
"Tasks this week:
- •Completed: 14 tasks
- •Added mid-week: 6 tasks (scope creep?)
- •Carried over: 3 tasks
Completion rate: 82% (14 of 17 planned)"
3. Quarterly Goals Progress (Concrete Milestones)
Don't use fake percentages. Use milestone counts and specific accomplishments.
Use: get_quarterly_goals() Use: get_goal_status(goal_id) for each goal
For each goal:
- •Milestones completed this week
- •Total milestones done vs. total
- •Weeks since last milestone
- •Specific accomplishments that moved the goal
"Quarterly Goals Progress:
Goal Milestones This Week Status Launch v2.0 3 of 5 +1 (Pricing page shipped) On track Improve NPS 1 of 4 No change ⚠️ Stalled (3 weeks) Team Capacity 2 of 3 No change On track Goal 1 advanced because you completed Priority 1. Goal 2 needs attention — no linked work completed this week."
4. Daily Completion Rate Trend (NEW)
If daily reviews exist, calculate completion trends:
"Daily plan completion this week:
Day Planned Done Rate Mon 3 2 67% Tue 3 3 100% Wed 3 2 67% Thu 3 1 33% Fri 3 2 67% Week average: 67% Pattern: Thursday was rough (too many meetings?)"
5. Meeting Analysis
Review meeting notes from the week:
- •Meetings held
- •Key decisions
- •Action items created
- •Follow-ups that might have slipped
6. Learning Compilation & Pattern Detection
Review System/Session_Learnings/ files from this week:
Pattern Detection:
- •Recurring issues: Same mistake 2+ times? Suggest adding to Mistake_Patterns.md
- •Consistent preferences: User repeatedly mentioned a workflow preference?
"This week's session learnings revealed:
Recurring Issues:
- •Calendar overload (mentioned 3 times) — Consider blocking focus time
Workflow Preferences:
- •Prefer morning for deep work (mentioned 2 times)
Should I add these to your pattern files?"
