Weekly review

Weekly Review

Scan the week. Surface what matters. Plan what's next.

Workflow

1. Scan vault changes — Find all files in ~/broomva-vault/ modified in the last 7 days:

   • New notes created
   • Existing notes modified (check git or file timestamps)
   • Group by folder/project

2. Scan git activity — Run across all repos under ~/broomva/:

   • git log --since="7 days ago" --oneline --stat
   • Count commits per repo
   • Identify PRs merged, branches created

3. Extract completed items — Find tasks marked done this week:

   • - [x] items with recent modification dates
   • Completed items in project trackers

4. Find open items — Surface things that need attention:

   • Overdue tasks (- [ ] with past dates)
   • Stale PRs or branches
   • Notes tagged with urgency markers
   • Items promised in last week's review that aren't done

5. Identify themes — What patterns emerge from the week's activity:

   • What projects got the most attention?
   • Any new projects or ideas that emerged?
   • Any projects that went silent?

6. Generate next week's priorities — Based on:

   • Unfinished items from this week
   • Upcoming deadlines
   • Momentum (what's hot, what's stalled)

Vault Integration

• Save to: ~/broomva-vault/reviews/weekly-review-[YYYY-MM-DD].md
• Link back to project notes referenced
• If prior weekly reviews exist, reference the most recent one for continuity

Behavior

• Be factual about what happened — don't editorialize
• Highlight things that slipped without judgment
• The "next week's priorities" should emerge from the data, not be invented
• If the vault is sparse, focus on git activity
• Keep the whole review scannable in under 3 minutes
