/week:close

Friday: generate weekly review from Tasks.md and working notes, run retro, reset for next week.

Instructions

1. Read Current State

Read Tasks.md to get:

  • Completed tasks (checked items in Done + any checked items in other quadrants)
  • In-progress tasks (incomplete items in Urgent + Important, Big Rocks)
  • Parked tasks (Not Now)

Read Personal Tasks.md to get:

  • Completed personal tasks (checked items in Done + any checked in other sections)
  • In-progress personal tasks

Also scan for any project working notes that were modified this week (check recent file modifications for notes with type: project).

1b. Stale Note Scan

Find notes that may need archiving or attention:

  1. Use git log to find .md files in the vault root not modified in 30+ days
  2. Filter to only: type: project, or notes with status: active
  3. Exclude: type: moc, type: resource, type: literature, type: review, Templates/, archive/, staging/
  4. For each candidate, check if it's referenced in Tasks.md — if it has an active task, it's not stale

Present findings:

### Stale Note Candidates (not modified in 30+ days)
- [filename] — last modified [date], type: [type]
  Action: [ ] Archive  [ ] Mark stale  [ ] Still active (skip)

Ask user to triage each one. For approved actions:

  • Archive: git mv <file> archive/, set status: complete, update parent MOC if needed
  • Mark stale: set status: stale in frontmatter
  • Skip: no action

2. Present the Week

Show what the week looked like:

## Week of [start date] - [end date]

### Completed (X items)
- [completed items with brief context]

### Still In Progress
- [items carrying forward]

### Added This Week
- [any new tasks that appeared mid-week]

3. Prompt for Retro

Ask the user:

Quick retro before we close out:

- What went well?
- What didn't go well?
- What did you learn?
- Any blockers or distractions?

(Type your notes or say "skip")

4. Save Weekly Review

Write Weekly Review YYYY-MM-DD.md to vault root:

---
type: review
created: YYYY-MM-DD
up: "[[Home]]"
tags:
  - weekly-review
  - retro
---

Include: completed items, carrying forward, retro notes.

5. Reset Tasks.md for Next Week

  • Move completed items from all quadrants to the Done section (or remove if already captured in weekly review)
  • Clear the Done section
  • Keep incomplete tasks in their current quadrants
  • Keep the Weekly Template section as-is

Ask before making changes:

Ready to reset Tasks.md for next week. This will:
- Archive completed items to the weekly review
- Clear the Done section
- Keep all incomplete tasks where they are

Go ahead? (y/n)

6. Summary

Week closed.

Saved: Weekly Review YYYY-MM-DD.md
Completed: X items
Carrying forward: X items
Tasks.md reset for next week.

Notes

  • Tasks.md is the single source of truth
  • Keep retro notes concise — bullet points, not paragraphs
  • Preserve the Eisenhower quadrant structure in Tasks.md
  • If the user mentions things they did that aren't in Tasks.md, add them to the weekly review anyway
  • The weekly review is a vault note — it gets frontmatter and links
