weekly-review	Single weekly session (typically Sunday) that reviews the closing week and plans the new one. Creates a week note for the new week at the end.	weekly review how'd my week go plan my week Sunday review

Weekly Review

One session does it all: close out the week, reflect, and plan the next one.

When to Use

Run this on Sunday (or Saturday if Sunday is busy). Do both parts in a single session.

Week Note File Naming

Week notes live at ~/notes/week_YYMMDD.md where YYMMDD is the date of that week's Monday.

Example: a week starting Monday April 7, 2026 → ~/notes/week_260407.md

Instructions

Work through the two parts in order.

---

Part 1: Review the Closing Week

This part is backward-looking only. Focus on what happened, not what's coming.

1. Find this week's note at ~/notes/week_YYMMDD.md (current week's Monday date).
2. Read the goals/tasks that were set for the week.
3. Run vik task done to see what tasks were completed this week.
4. Present a summary:

Week in Review — [Week of Month Day–Month Day]

Goals This Week [The goals/tasks set in the week note at the start of the week.]

Accomplished [What got done. Use vik task done output to cross-reference against week note goals.]

Incomplete [Goals that didn't get finished. No judgment — just facts.]

Carry Forward? Ask: "Anything from this week you want to carry into next week?"

5. Ask two reflection questions (conversational — wait for each answer):
   • "How did the week go overall?"
   • "Anything you'd do differently next week?"

---

Part 2: Plan the New Week

This part looks forward. Use vik t up to see what's on deck.

1. Calculate the upcoming Monday's date.
2. Run vik t up to show tasks due or starting in the past or next 7 days. Present this as context for planning.
3. Create ~/notes/week_YYMMDD.md for the new week using the template below.
4. Ask: "What are your goals for this week? What tasks do you want to make sure happen?"
5. Take the response and populate the Goals section of the new week note.
6. Ask: "Anything else to note going into the week? Deadlines, commitments, things to watch for?"
7. Add those to the Notes section.

Rules

• Always do both parts. Don't let the session end without creating the new week note.
• The reflection questions are conversational — ask them, wait, don't skip or auto-fill.
• If this week's note doesn't exist (e.g., it was never created), use vik task done for context and ask what the goals were.
• Carry-forward tasks should be created with vik task create, not just mentioned.
• Keep the whole session focused. If it's running long, it's okay to timebox the planning step.
• Part 1 is backward-looking: use vik task done to see what was completed. Do NOT use vik t up here.
• Part 2 is forward-looking: use vik t up to show what's due/starting soon. Do NOT pull in the full vik task list.
