# Weekly Review > When the user wants to do a weekly review, check in on business progress, reflect on the week, plan next week's priorities, or says things like 'weekly review,' 'how did this week go,' 'what should I focus on next week,' 'end of week check-in,' 'Sunday review,' 'weekly retro.'

This is the CEO's operating rhythm — the one habit that compounds more than any other. ## Before Starting Check if `BUSINESS_CONTEXT.md` exists in the project root or current directory. - **If it exists:** Read it. Use the quarterly priorities, key metrics, and current challenges to make the review specific. Don't ask about things that aren't relevant to their business. - **If it doesn't exist:** Walk them through creating one before the first review. Say: "Let's set up your business context first — it takes 5 minutes and makes every future review sharper." Ask the essential questions and save as `BUSINESS_CONTEXT.md`. Also check if previous review files exist (look for `reviews/` directory or files matching `weekly-review-*.md`). If found, read the most recent one to track continuity — did last week's priorities get done? Are recurring issues still unresolved? ## The Review Run through these sections conversationally. Don't dump a questionnaire — have a conversation where you ask, they answer, and you probe where it matters. ### 1. Scorecard (2 minutes) Ask for their key numbers this week. Keep it to 3-5 metrics that actually matter. If you have their business context, prompt for the specific metrics they track. If not, ask: "What are the 3-5 numbers you should know every week? Revenue, pipeline, churn, subscribers, whatever matters most." For each metric: - What was it this week? - Is that up, down, or flat vs. last week? - Is it on track for the quarterly target? Flag anything that moved more than 10% in either direction — that's worth discussing. ### 2. Wins (2 minutes) Ask: "What went well this week? What are you proud of, even if it's small?" Founders are wired to focus on problems. Force them to name the wins. This isn't feel-good fluff — it's pattern recognition. Knowing what's working is as important as knowing what isn't. Probe: "Why did that work? Is there a way to do more of it?" ### 3. Losses & Lessons (3 minutes) Ask: "What didn't go well? What frustrated you? Where did you waste time?" Then the important question: **"What will you do differently next time?"** A loss without a lesson is just a bad week. A loss with a lesson is tuition. If the same issue shows up in multiple reviews, flag it: "This is the third week you've mentioned [X]. Is this a symptom of something bigger we should address?" ### 4. Priority Check (3 minutes) Pull up their quarterly priorities from the business context (or ask what they are). For each priority: - **Progress this week:** What moved forward? - **Status:** On track / At risk / Stalled - **What's blocking it?** (If anything) Then the hard question: **"Did you spend the majority of your time this week on these priorities, or did other things eat your calendar?"** If they got pulled into reactive work, don't judge — help them see it. "What pulled you away? Is that going to keep happening? What would need to change?" ### 5. Next Week's Focus (3 minutes) Ask: **"If next week could only have 3 priorities, what are they?"** Three. Not five. Not "everything from this week plus three more things." Three. For each priority: - What does "done" look like? - What's the first action to take Monday morning? - What could prevent this from happening? ### 6. Energy Check (2 minutes) Ask: **"On a scale of 1-10, how's your energy? How are you feeling about the business right now?"** This isn't therapy. It's data. A founder at a 4 out of 10 three weeks in a row is heading for burnout, and no amount of strategy fixes that. If energy is low, ask what would help — is it a win they need, a decision they're avoiding, a person they need to hire, or just a day off? ## Output After the conversation, generate a clean review document: ```markdown # Weekly Review — [Date] ## Scorecard | Metric | This Week | Last Week | Trend | On Track? | |--------|-----------|-----------|-------|-----------| | [Metric] | [Value] | [Value] | [Up/Down/Flat] | [Yes/No/At Risk] | ## Wins - [Win 1] - [Win 2] ## Losses & Lessons - **[Loss]:** [What happened] → **Lesson:** [What to do differently] ## Priority Progress | Priority | Status | Notes | |----------|--------|-------| | [Priority 1] | [On track / At risk / Stalled] | [Brief note] | ## Next Week's Focus 1. **[Priority 1]** — Done = [definition]. First action: [specific action]. 2. **[Priority 2]** — Done = [definition]. First action: [specific action]. 3. **[Priority 3]** — Done = [definition]. First action: [specific action]. ## Energy: [X/10] [One sentence on what would help if below 7] ``` Save to `reviews/weekly-review-[YYYY-MM-DD].md` if a `reviews/` directory exists. If not, offer to create one. ## Rules 1. **15 minutes, not 60.** This is a check-in, not a strategy session. If something needs deeper discussion, flag it and suggest a separate session (strategic-sparring is built for that). 2. **Continuity matters.** If previous reviews exist, reference them. "Last week you said [X] was your top priority — did it happen?" Accountability without judgment. 3. **Three priorities, not thirteen.** Push back if they list too many. "Which three of these would make the biggest difference? The others can wait." 4. **Don't let them skip the wins.** Founders who only review problems burn out. Make them name what worked. 5. **Patterns over incidents.** One bad week is noise. Three bad weeks is a signal. Your job is to spot the patterns they're too close to see. 6. **The energy check is non-negotiable.** Skip the metrics before you skip this. A burned-out founder makes bad decisions on everything else. 7. **End with clarity.** They should close this review knowing exactly what Monday morning looks like. If they don't, the review isn't done. ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [TheCraigHewitt](https://github.com/TheCraigHewitt) - **Source:** [TheCraigHewitt/skills](https://github.com/TheCraigHewitt/skills) - **License:** MIT - **Homepage:** https://craighewitt.com Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-thecraighewitt-skills-weekly-review - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/thecraighewitt - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
