Task-Based Progress Tracking

The weekly skill uses session tasks to show progress through the 3-phase review.

Phase Tasks

Create tasks at skill start:

TaskCreate: subject: "Phase 1: Collect" description: "Gather daily notes from past week, extract wins and challenges" activeForm: "Collecting daily notes and extracting highlights..."

TaskCreate: subject: "Phase 2: Reflect" description: "Calculate goal progress, analyze alignment gaps" activeForm: "Calculating goal progress and alignment..."

TaskCreate: subject: "Phase 3: Plan" description: "Identify ONE Big Thing, plan daily focus areas for next week" activeForm: "Planning next week's focus..."

Dependencies

Phases must run in order:

TaskUpdate: "Phase 2: Reflect", addBlockedBy: [phase-1-collect-id] TaskUpdate: "Phase 3: Plan", addBlockedBy: [phase-2-reflect-id]

Reflect is blocked until Collect completes. Plan is blocked until Reflect completes. This provides visibility into the 30-minute review process.

Mark each task in_progress when starting, completed when done using TaskUpdate.

Task tools are session-scoped and don't persist between Claude sessions—your actual weekly review content is saved in the review note.

Agent Team Workflow (Optional)

For a faster, more thorough weekly review, use agent teams to parallelize the collection phase:

Team Lead (coordinator) ├── collector agent — Read all daily notes, extract wins/challenges/tasks ├── goal-analyzer agent — Read goal files, calculate progress, find gaps └── project-scanner agent — Scan Projects/*/CLAUDE.md, get status updates

How to Use

When invoking /weekly , you can request the team-based approach:

/weekly "Use the team approach for a thorough review"

The team lead:

• Spawns three agents to work in parallel

• Collector reads daily notes and extracts highlights

• Goal-analyzer reads all goal files and calculates progress

• Project-scanner reads all project CLAUDE.md files for status

• Team lead synthesizes findings into the weekly review note

This makes the review faster (parallel collection) and more thorough (dedicated analysis per area).

Vault Health Check (Ad-hoc)

The weekly review can optionally include a vault health check using multiple agents:

• note-organizer: Scan for broken links, orphan notes

• goal-aligner: Check daily-to-goal alignment

• inbox-processor: Check for unprocessed items

Request with: "Include a vault health check in my weekly review"
