Data Sources

Gather information from these sources (skip any unavailable):

1. Completed tasks — Read from ~/Tandem/tasks/kanban.md under "✅ Done" column. Filter to tasks with Finished date this week. Also check ~/Tandem/tasks/archive.md for recently archived tasks.
2. Active tasks (carried over) — Tasks from "📝 To Do" and "🚀 In Progress" in kanban.md that were due this week but not completed.
3. Session log — Read from ~/Tandem/memory/sessions/ for this week's session summaries (key decisions, preferences, events).
4. Daily plans — Check for saved daily plans from this week in ~/Tandem/tasks/ for additional context.
5. Email follow-ups — Any pending follow-ups that aged during the week.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Data

Silently read from all data sources. Compile:

• Tasks completed this week (count and list)
• Tasks carried over (not done, still active)
• Key decisions or events from session log
• Any notable patterns (e.g., recurring overdue tasks, heavy email weeks)

If minimal data is available:

I don't have much data for your weekly review yet. Let's do a quick
verbal check-in instead.

AskUserQuestion:
  - "Let me tell you about my week"
  - "Skip the review — just help me plan next week"
  - "Not now"

Step 2: Present Review Summary

Use template.md to structure the review:

• Week dates — Monday to Sunday of the reviewed week
• Accomplishments — Tasks completed, organized by context/project
• Carried over — Tasks that didn't get done, with original due dates
• Key decisions — From session log (decisions, preferences stated)
• Metrics — Tasks completed vs planned, completion rate

Step 3: Reflections

Guide the user through reflection using AskUserQuestion:

Looking at your week, what stands out?

AskUserQuestion:
  - "What went well — I want to note a win"
  - "What to improve — something didn't work"
  - "New goal — I want to set a new objective"
  - "Skip reflections — just plan next week"

If "What went well": Accept the user's input, then offer to save it:

AskUserQuestion:
  - "Save this win to the review"
  - "Just noting it — move on"

If "What to improve": Accept input, then:

AskUserQuestion:
  - "Create an action item to address this"
  - "Just noting it — move on"

If "New goal": Accept input, then:

AskUserQuestion:
  - "Add as a task with a deadline"
  - "Save as a goal in memory"
  - "Just noting it for now"

Allow multiple rounds of reflection. After each response:

AskUserQuestion:
  - "Add another reflection"
  - "Done reflecting — plan next week"

Step 4: Generate Insights

Based on the data and reflections, generate 2-3 brief insights:

• Productivity patterns (e.g., "You completed most tasks mid-week")
• Recurring themes (e.g., "Email follow-ups keep piling up")
• Positive trends (e.g., "Third week in a row of clearing all urgent tasks")

Step 5: Plan Next Week

Present top priorities for next week:

Based on carried-over tasks and your reflections, here are my suggested
top 3 priorities for next week:

1. **[Priority 1]** — [Rationale]
2. **[Priority 2]** — [Rationale]
3. **[Priority 3]** — [Rationale]

AskUserQuestion:
  - "Looks good — save this plan"
  - "Adjust priorities"
  - "Add more priorities"
  - "Skip next-week planning"

Step 6: Save

Save the complete weekly review to: ~/Tandem/tasks/weekly-review-[YYYY-MM-DD].md

Also append a summary entry to ~/Tandem/MEMORY.md Session Log:

- [Date] Weekly review: [X] tasks completed, [Y] carried over.
  Top priorities next week: [1], [2], [3].

Proactivity Hooks

After completing the weekly review:

AskUserQuestion:
  - "Create a daily plan for Monday"
  - "Set up recurring tasks for next week"
  - "Nothing else — enjoy the weekend!"

If completion rate was low this week:

AskUserQuestion:
  - "Reprioritize — too many tasks on the list?"
  - "Break down large tasks into smaller ones"
  - "Nothing — next week will be better"

Task Format Reference

Task format specification: tandem-skills/tasks/task-manager/references/kanban-format.md. When reading or moving tasks, preserve the existing format exactly.

Anti-Patterns

• Do NOT produce a judgmental or negative tone — reviews should be constructive
• Do NOT skip the reflection step — always offer it (but allow skipping)
• Do NOT auto-save reflections to memory — ask first
• Do NOT present an overwhelming amount of data — keep it scannable
• Do NOT ask open-ended questions when AskUserQuestion can be used
• Do NOT forget to include next-week priorities — that's the forward-looking value
