Purpose

Create a synthesis of the week reviewing activity, progress, and what was accomplished. Uses concrete metrics, not vague percentages.

Data Sources

1. Task Progress

03-Tasks/Tasks.md — Task completion status
02-Week_Priorities/Week_Priorities.md — Weekly priorities

2. Project Activity

04-Projects/**/*.md — Modified this week

3. Meetings & People

00-Inbox/Meetings/*.md — Meeting notes from this week
People/**/*.md — Person pages updated

4. Learnings

06-Resources/Learnings/**/*.md — Explicit learnings
System/Session_Learnings/*.md — Auto-captured session learnings

5. Daily Reviews

07-Archives/Reviews/Daily_Review_YYYY-MM-DD.md — This week's reviews

6. Journals (If Enabled)

00-Inbox/Journals/YYYY/MM-Month/ — Morning/evening journals

Analysis Process

1. Weekly Priority Completion (Concrete, Not Percentages)

Don't say: "Goal X went from 40% to 55%" Do say: "You completed 2 of 3 weekly priorities"

Use: get_week_progress()

For each weekly priority:

Complete: ✅ What was the deliverable? When did you finish?
In Progress: 🔄 What specifically got done? What's left?
Not Started: ❌ Why? Should it carry forward?

Surface concrete accomplishments:

"This week's priorities:

✅ Ship pricing page — Complete (pushed to prod Wednesday)

Deliverable: New pricing page live at /pricing

Tasks completed: 5 of 5

🔄 Write Q1 strategy doc — 60% complete

Done: Outline, competitive analysis, recommendations

Remaining: Executive summary, financial projections

2 tasks left

❌ Customer interviews — Not started

Reason: Calendar was too stacked

Recommendation: Carry to next week with protected time"

1.5 Semantic Goal-to-Work Mapping (if QMD available)

Check if semantic search is available by looking for qmd in PATH.

If available, enhance the weekly priority review with meaning-based analysis:

Auto-detect goal contributions: For each completed task this week, search:
```
qmd query "task title/description" --limit 3
```
against quarterly goals. Catch tasks that advanced goals without explicit links.
- Example: "Built customer health dashboard" semantically matches goal "Improve NPS tracking" — different words, same work.
Cross-priority connections: Search for work that bridges multiple priorities:
```
qmd query "priority 1 description" --limit 5
```
Surface tasks that contributed to more than one priority.
Thematic patterns: Search for recurring themes across the week's work:
```
qmd query "common theme from meetings/tasks" --limit 5
```
Detect patterns like "most of your work this week clustered around customer retention" even when tasks used different terminology.

Integration: Merge findings into the Quarterly Goals table — add a "Hidden contributions" row for semantically-detected but not explicitly-linked work. Only show genuinely new connections, not things already captured by keyword matching.

If QMD unavailable: Skip silently. Task completion stats still work fine.

2. Task Completion Stats (Concrete Numbers)

Scan 03-Tasks/Tasks.md for completion timestamps from this week:

Count tasks completed (look for ✅ YYYY-MM-DD in date range)
Count tasks added mid-week
Count tasks carried over

Surface:

"Tasks this week:

Completed: 14 tasks

Added mid-week: 6 tasks (scope creep?)

Carried over: 3 tasks

Completion rate: 82% (14 of 17 planned)"

3. Quarterly Goals Progress (Concrete Milestones)

Don't use fake percentages. Use milestone counts and specific accomplishments.

Use: get_quarterly_goals()
Use: get_goal_status(goal_id) for each goal

For each goal:

Milestones completed this week
Total milestones done vs. total
Weeks since last milestone
Specific accomplishments that moved the goal

"Quarterly Goals Progress:

Goal Milestones This Week Status

Launch v2.0 3 of 5 +1 (Pricing page shipped) On track

Improve NPS 1 of 4 No change ⚠️ Stalled (3 weeks)

Team Capacity 2 of 3 No change On track

Goal 1 advanced because you completed Priority 1. Goal 2 needs attention — no linked work completed this week."

4. Daily Completion Rate Trend (NEW)

If daily reviews exist, calculate completion trends:

"Daily plan completion this week:

Day Planned Done Rate

Mon 3 2 67%

Tue 3 3 100%

Wed 3 2 67%

Thu 3 1 33%

Fri 3 2 67%

Week average: 67% Pattern: Thursday was rough (too many meetings?)"

5. Meeting Analysis

Review meeting notes from the week:

Meetings held
Key decisions
Action items created
Follow-ups that might have slipped

5.5 Commitment Health Analysis (NEW)

If ScreenPipe and Commitment Detection are available, show aggregate stats:

Use: get_commitment_stats(
    start_date="YYYY-MM-DD",  # Monday of this week
    end_date="YYYY-MM-DD"     # Today
)

Surface to user:

"📊 Commitment Health This Week

Detected across apps: 12 potential commitments Already had tasks: 7 (58%) Created from prompts: 3 Dismissed as handled: 2

Apps with most uncaptured asks:

Slack - 5 items

Email - 4 items

Notion - 3 items

People who asked most of you:

Sarah Chen - 4 asks

Product team - 3 asks

💡 Consider: Check Slack more frequently for asks, or run /commitment-scan mid-week"

If no commitment data: Skip this section silently (user may not have ScreenPipe or commitment detection enabled).

5.8 Email Communication Stats (if Gmail connected)

Check System/integrations/config.yaml for google-workspace.enabled: true.

If enabled and Google Workspace MCP is healthy:

Emails sent this week — count of sent messages in the review period
Average response time — how quickly you replied to incoming emails
Threads still open — conversations with no resolution (back-and-forth still active)
Follow-up detection — emails waiting > 48h for a reply from you or from others

Surface in the review:

"Email this week:

Metric Value

Emails sent 47

Avg response time 3.2 hours

Open threads 12

Awaiting your reply (> 48h) 3

Observation: You have 3 emails waiting for replies longer than 48 hours. Consider clearing those early next week."

If unhealthy or not enabled: skip this section silently.

6. Learning Compilation & Pattern Detection

Review System/Session_Learnings/ files from this week:

Pattern Detection:

Recurring issues: Same mistake 2+ times? Suggest adding to Mistake_Patterns.md
Consistent preferences: User repeatedly mentioned a workflow preference?

"This week's session learnings revealed:

Recurring Issues:

Calendar overload (mentioned 3 times) — Consider blocking focus time

Workflow Preferences:

Prefer morning for deep work (mentioned 2 times)

Should I add these to your pattern files?"

Innovation Concierge: Top 3 This Week

At the end of the weekly review, surface the top backlog ideas:

Call list_ideas(status="active", min_score=70) from Improvements MCP
Pick the top 3 ideas by score that haven't been surfaced in the last week review
Include in the output format as a section:

## 🤖 Top 3 Dex Improvement Ideas

Your AI-curated backlog has surfaced these high-impact ideas:

1. **[idea-XXX]** Title (Score: XX)
   Why now: [Brief evidence or timeliness reason]

2. **[idea-XXX]** Title (Score: XX)
   Why now: [Brief evidence]

3. **[idea-XXX]** Title (Score: XX)
   Why now: [Brief evidence]

> Interested? Run `/dex-improve [idea-id]` to workshop any of these.
> Run `/dex-backlog` to see the full ranked backlog.

Rules:

Only show ideas with score >= 70 (don't surface low-value noise)
Prefer ideas with recent "Why Now?" evidence
If fewer than 3 qualifying ideas, show however many exist
If no qualifying ideas, skip this section entirely
This is a gentle nudge, not a sales pitch

Skill Quality Insights

After generating the synthesis, call get_skill_ratings() from Work MCP (no filter — get all skills).

If ratings exist for any skills: Add a section to the review:

## Skill Quality This Week

| Skill | Avg Rating | Trend | Note |
|-------|-----------|-------|------|
| [skill] | [avg]/5 | [improving/stable/declining] | [most recent note] |

Only surface skills that are declining or below 3.0. If everything is stable/good, skip this section entirely. One line for healthy, only details for problems.

Then: Run /identity-snapshot to update System/identity-model.md with fresh data from this week.

Follow-up Actions

After synthesis:

Update Tasks.md with new priorities
Archive completed items
Update project pages with status changes
Offer to run /week-plan for next week
