Weekly Review

Refer to ~/.claude/skills/obsidian-core/SKILL.md for CLI patterns, preflight checks, and error handling.

Mode Selection

Check the user's invocation:

• Guided mode (default): Walk through each section conversationally, asking questions and waiting for responses before proceeding
• Quick mode: If the user says "quick", "fast", "just dump it", or "summary mode", run all data gathering steps and present the full summary at once (original behavior — use the structured review format from the Notes section)

Workflow (Guided Mode)

Work through each phase one at a time. After each phase, wait for the user's response before moving to the next.

Phase 1: Inbox

obsidian files folder=Inbox 2>/dev/null

Show the list of inbox items. For each item, suggest a destination folder or action (file it, archive it, delete it). Ask: "Want me to move any of these? Tell me which ones and where, or say 'skip' to move on."

Wait for response. Execute confirmed moves before proceeding.

Phase 2: Sessions

obsidian files folder=Sessions 2>/dev/null

Filter to files from the past 7 days (date prefix YYYY-MM-DD-*). Summarize: what topics were worked on, what was completed, any patterns noticed.

Then ask:

• "What else did you work on this week that isn't captured in a session note?"
• "Any patterns you noticed in how your week went?"

Wait for response before continuing.

Phase 3: Tasks

obsidian tasks todo 2>/dev/null

Identify stale tasks (from daily notes older than 3 days). Present them in batches of 5, not all at once. For each batch, ask: "For these tasks: carry forward, archive, or close? You can answer per-item or say 'all forward', 'all close', etc."

Wait for response after each batch before showing the next.

Phase 4: Vault Health

obsidian orphans 2>/dev/null
obsidian unresolved 2>/dev/null

Report counts of orphaned notes and unresolved links. Show the list of orphaned notes. Ask: "Want me to clean any of these up, or just note them for now?"

Wait for response. Do not auto-delete anything.

Phase 5: Brag Candidates

obsidian search:context query="completed" path="Sessions" format=json limit=5 2>/dev/null
obsidian search:context query="shipped" path="Sessions" format=json limit=5 2>/dev/null

Surface any notable accomplishments found this week. Then ask: "Anything else you shipped or accomplished this week that you're proud of? Anything that felt like a win, even if it's not in a session note?"

Wait for response.

Phase 6: Retrospective

Ask each of these questions one at a time, waiting for a response between each:

1. "What was your biggest win this week?"
2. "What blocked you or slowed you down?"
3. "What would you do differently next week?"
4. "What did you learn?"

Phase 7: Wrap-Up

Summarize the key decisions and insights from the review (moves made, tasks closed/archived, retrospective answers, brag candidates noted).

Then ask: "Want me to write a weekly review note to Sessions/YYYY-MM-DD-weekly-review.md capturing the highlights, decisions, and retrospective answers?"

If yes, write the note using the Write tool at the appropriate path under /Users/alex.rosenkranz/Documents/main-vault/Sessions/.

Notes

• Never move or modify files without explicit user confirmation
• If any CLI command returns an error, report it and continue with the other steps
• The weekly review is read-heavy; write operations only happen after user approval
• Quick mode structured format:
