Weekly Review from Calendar, Inbox, and Tasks
Turn calendar, inbox, and task records into an evidence-based weekly review with open loops and three next-week priorities.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
The weekly review is really valuable. Maybe you could just spend 10 minutes on the essentials — what did you finish, what's left, and what's next? You don't need to do a full deep review if you're pressed for time. What matters most to you — getting tasks organized, reflecting on decisions, or planning next week? That might help you decide what to focus on.
YOUR WEEK AT A GLANCE: SHIPPED: • Launched feature X (shipped Mon) • Hired two engineers (offers sent) • Cleared 20-email backlog (was buried) STALLED: • Partnership RFP (waiting on their legal team) • Pricing page redesign (design blocked on copy) MEETINGS ATTENDED: 12 total (up from 8 last week) → Tuesday was 7 hours of meetings (wrote down: 'too much') TASKS: 43 captured, 28 completed, 15 open REFLECTION PROMPTS (answer these): 1. What moved the needle most? [Launch feature X + hiring — both unblock next sprint] 2. What took longer than expected? [Email triage — 3 hours instead of 1. Root: Inbox depth was 500, not 50] 3. What did you say yes to that you regret? [Coffee meeting Wed + optional all-hands Thu morning] 4. Did you protect deep work time? [No. Zero blocks Thu-Fri. Next week: lock 9-noon Mon & Wed] 5. What's top 3 for next week? [1. Finalize feature spec (due Tue). 2. Partnership followup. 3. Pricing copy.] NEXT WEEK'S CALENDAR: → Block deep work: Mon 9-noon, Wed 10-1 → Cut: Recurring 1-1 with X (move to every other week) → Add: Sprint planning Thu 2pm TIME SPENT: 12 minutes to fill this in. Done.
About this skill
Your calendar says you were busy, your task list keeps growing, and Friday arrives without a clear sense of what moved. This skill assembles the week's evidence into a short review, separates completed outcomes from activity, and turns unresolved commitments into concrete next steps.
What it does
- Reconciles calendar entries, email commitments, and task records without counting the same work twice.
- Separates scheduled meetings, reported progress, and confirmed completion.
- Identifies stalled work and flags tasks carried over for three or more consecutive weeks when history supports it.
- Turns open loops into actions, follow-ups, decisions, or explicit candidates to drop.
- Proposes three next-week priorities grounded in consequences, dependencies, and available capacity.
- Leaves a small space for personal reflection instead of inventing how the week felt.
What you get
A review designed to skim in under two minutes: what moved, what stalled, unresolved commitments, one boundary to reconsider, and three next-week priority slots. Each material claim is traceable to the supplied records, with gaps and assumptions labeled.
Best for
Operators, makers, and independent professionals whose weekly reviews stall because assembling the facts takes longer than reflecting on them.

description: >-
Assemble calendar entries, email commitments, and task records into a concise weekly self-review by reconciling evidence, separating outcomes from activity, identifying open loops, and proposing three next-week priorities. Use when the user says "review my week", "pull together my weekly review", "what actually moved this week?", "my tasks keep rolling over", "I was busy but got nothing done", "help me close out Friday", or "compare what I planned with what happened".
