Weekly Reviews

A structured weekly cycle that keeps you on track. The system collects data all week and generates a review so you can focus on decisions, not data gathering.

What the Weekly Review Produces

Run your weekly review on Friday afternoon (or whenever your week ends):

claude

Run my weekly review. Summarize what I accomplished, show key metrics, identify patterns, and suggest priorities for next week.

What You Get Back

Accomplishments:

A summary of what was completed this week — tasks closed, emails handled, meetings attended, decisions made, documents produced.

Key Metrics:

Patterns Noticed:

Things the system spotted that you might miss:

• Meeting count is increasing week over week
• 3 follow-ups are overdue from 2 weeks ago
• Your most productive day was Tuesday (aligned with your energy profile)
• Client response times improved since the new email template was introduced

Suggested Priorities for Next Week:

Based on upcoming deadlines, pending follow-ups, and your goals:

1. Finalize Q1 review document (due Thursday)
2. Address 3 overdue follow-ups
3. Block 2 additional focus hours (meeting count is too high)

Before vs. After

Setting Up Your Weekly Review

Option 1: Run It Manually

Just ask Claude for a weekly review every Friday. The more connections you’ve set up (calendar, email, tasks), the richer the review.

Option 2: Save It as a Command

Create a reusable /weekly-review command:

claude

Create a slash command at ~/.claude/commands/weekly-review.md that generates a comprehensive weekly review. It should check my calendar for meetings attended, review my email activity, list tasks completed, identify patterns, and suggest next week's priorities.

Then every Friday, just type /weekly-review.

Option 3: Automated Generation

For advanced users, the weekly review can be generated automatically every Friday and waiting for you when you’re ready. See How Automation Works for setting up scheduled workflows.

Making It Better Over Time

The weekly review improves as the system learns:

• Week 1-2: Basic summary from available data
• Week 3-4: Patterns start emerging (comparisons to previous weeks)
• Month 2+: Meaningful trends visible (monthly patterns, seasonal changes)
• Quarter+: Strategic insights (“Your Q2 was 30% more productive than Q1 — here’s why”)

Tip: After each weekly review, tell the system what was useful and what wasn’t. “The meeting count tracking is great. I don’t care about email volume — focus on response time instead.” This feedback makes future reviews more relevant.
