Weekly Review

The problem

Planning next week while ignoring current capacity leads to over-commitment and burnout. Teams often carry unfinished tasks forward indefinitely without acknowledging they have stalled or are waiting on external blockers.

What it does

• Analyzes commitment lists, calendar exports, and stalled work files within a specific ISO date window.
• Calculates real remaining capacity by subtracting fixed calendar hours from total available work hours.
• Identifies stalled projects based on inactivity or missing next actions rather than gut feeling.
• Generates a structured markdown review including completed wins, at-risk items, and deferred work.
• Enforces a limit of three primary outcomes for the upcoming week to ensure focus.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often hallucinate task owners, invent deadlines, or optimistically assume every unfinished task can be finished next week. This skill enforces strict data integrity, refusing to invent missing fields and requiring explicit approval before any external tracker mutations occur.

Use cases

• Performing a Friday afternoon reset to clear mental overhead.
• Auditing a team's weekly commitments to identify items slipping through the cracks.
• Translating a messy inbox and calendar load into a realistic, capacity-aware plan.

Known limitations

Requires ISO formatted dates and specific IANA timezones to resolve relative weekdays. It will not crawl personal vaults or search email accounts directly; all data must be provided as file paths or pasted lists.
