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.json if 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?"
