Weekly Review

Collect everything that happened in the past week and write a structured retrospective to the vault. Combines reflection on what was accomplished with intentional focus-setting for the week ahead.

Configuration

Read the following keys from ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md at skill start. Environment variables listed under each key take precedence over the CLAUDE.md value.

| CLAUDE.md key | Env var | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---| | obsidian_vault | OBSIDIAN_VAULT | auto-detect via .obsidian | Absolute path to vault root | | obsidian_daily_dir | OBSIDIAN_DAILY_DIR | Daily | Daily notes folder (relative to vault) — output is written here | | obsidian_template_weekly | OBSIDIAN_TEMPLATE_WEEKLY | <vault>/Templates/Weekly Review.md | Weekly review template | | obsidian_wiki_root | — | Wiki | Wiki root folder (relative to vault) — used to read the log | | github_org | GITHUB_ORG | — | GitHub organisation; GitHub step is skipped if not set |

Vault auto-detection (applied when obsidian_vault is not set):

find "$HOME" -maxdepth 5 -name ".obsidian" -type d 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs dirname

Halt with a clear error message if the vault cannot be resolved.

TaskNotes script location:

TASKNOTES="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tasknotes/scripts/tasks.py"
[ -f "$TASKNOTES" ] || TASKNOTES=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache/talent-factory/obsidian \
  -name "tasks.py" -path "*/tasknotes/scripts/*" 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1)

Week Range Calculation

TODAY=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
DOW=$(date +%u)          # 1=Mon … 7=Sun

WEEK_START=$(date -v-$((DOW-1))d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || \
             date -d "$((DOW-1)) days ago" +%Y-%m-%d)

WEEK_END=$(date -v+$((7-DOW))d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || \
           date -d "$((7-DOW)) days from now" +%Y-%m-%d)

WEEK_NUM=$(date +%V)
YEAR=$(date +%Y)
OUTPUT_FILE="${YEAR}-W${WEEK_NUM}-weekly-review.md"

If the skill is invoked on a Monday before 10:00, use the previous week instead.

Execution Steps

Run steps 1–5 in parallel.

Step 1 — TaskNotes: Completed and open this week

uv run "$TASKNOTES" list --scan 2>/dev/null \
  | python3 -c "
import json, sys
from datetime import date, timedelta

data = json.load(sys.stdin)
tasks = data.get('tasks', data) if isinstance(data, dict) else data

today = date.today()
dow = today.weekday()
week_start = (today - timedelta(days=dow)).isoformat()
week_end   = (today + timedelta(days=6-dow)).isoformat()

done, open_late, open_this_week = [], [], []
for t in tasks:
    status    = t.get('status', '')
    due       = (t.get('due') or '')[:10]
    sched     = (t.get('scheduled') or '')[:10]
    completed = (t.get('completedDate') or '')[:10]
    title     = t.get('title', t.get('id','?').split('/')[-1].replace('.md',''))
    prio      = t.get('priority', 'normal')
    item      = {'title': title, 'priority': prio, 'due': due, 'completed': completed}

    if status == 'done' and completed >= week_start:
        done.append(item)
    elif status != 'done':
        if due and due < week_start:
            open_late.append(item)
        elif due and week_start <= due <= week_end:
            open_this_week.append(item)

print('DONE:', json.dumps(done))
print('LATE:', json.dumps(open_late))
print('THIS_WEEK:', json.dumps(open_this_week))
"

Step 2 — GitHub: What was shipped?

Skip this step if GITHUB_ORG is not configured.

# Commits across organisation repos this week
gh repo list "$GITHUB_ORG" --limit 30 --json name \
  --jq '.[].name' 2>/dev/null | head -15 | while read repo; do
    count=$(gh api "repos/$GITHUB_ORG/$repo/commits?since=${WEEK_START}T00:00:00Z&until=${WEEK_END}T23:59:59Z&per_page=10" \
      --jq 'length' 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
    if [ "$count" -gt 0 ]; then
      echo "$repo: $count commits"
      gh api "repos/$GITHUB_ORG/$repo/commits?since=${WEEK_START}T00:00:00Z&per_page=5" \
        --jq '.[].commit.message | split("\n")[0]' 2>/dev/null | head -3 | sed 's/^/  /'
    fi
  done

# Merged PRs this week
gh pr list --state merged --author @me \
  --json number,title,headRepository,mergedAt \
  --jq ".[] | select(.mergedAt >= \"${WEEK_START}\")" 2>/dev/null

# Closed issues this week
gh issue list --assignee @me --state closed \
  --json number,title,repository,closedAt \
  --jq ".[] | select(.closedAt >= \"${WEEK_START}\")" 2>/dev/null

Step 3 — Google Calendar: Meetings this week

Tool: mcp__claude_ai_Google_Calendar__list_events
Parameters:
  startTime: <WEEK_START>T00:00:00
  endTime:   <WEEK_END>T23:59:59
  maxResults: 30

Extract timed events (skip all-day events). Group by day.

Step 4 — Linear: Progress this week

Tool: mcp__plugin_linear_linear__list_issues
(filter: assignee = me, updatedAt within last 7 days)

Separate into: completed this week · still in progress · newly created.

Step 5 — Wiki: What was learned?

WIKI_LOG="$VAULT/$WIKI_ROOT/_wiki/log.md"
WIKI_DIR="$VAULT/$WIKI_ROOT/_wiki"

# Log entries added this week
grep -E "^\-\-\- \[${YEAR}" "$WIKI_LOG" 2>/dev/null | tail -20

# Pages modified this week
find "$WIKI_DIR" -name "*.md" -newer "$WIKI_LOG" \
  -not -name "index.md" -not -name "log.md" \
  | xargs ls -t 2>/dev/null | head -10

Skip gracefully if the wiki root does not exist.

Write to Vault

NOTE_PATH="$VAULT/$DAILY_DIR/${OUTPUT_FILE}"

If a weekly review for this ISO week already exists, replace all sections except ## 💭 Reflection — that section is written by the user and must be preserved. Use the same insert/replace pattern as update_daily_note.py.
