weekly-synthesis

The weekly-synthesis skill generates a comprehensive review of a week's work by analyzing created and modified notes, identifying recurring themes and patterns, synthesizing key insights, and assessing progress across projects. Use it when a user requests a weekly review, week-in-review, weekly wrap-up, or wants to reflect on accomplishments and plan upcoming priorities. The output organizes findings into themes, insights, project progress, energy patterns, and questions to guide intentional planning for the following week.
