SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reviewing a week's worth of journal entries can be time-consuming and opaque. This Skill helps surface the dominant themes, patterns, and progress signals across entries, giving you a clear view of where you’re making progress and where you’re stuck.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Weekly pattern discovery: Scan recent notes and linked references to surface recurring ideas and tensions.
  • Foundations progress check: Compare mentions to your configured foundations and keywords to report alignment or gaps.
  • Contextual synthesis: Read linked notes to follow the thread of your thinking and surface cross-note connections for a coherent week-in-review.

Quick Start

Run a weekly review by summarizing recent entries and highlighting patterns.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I surface recurring themes and patterns from my weekly journal entries?

Weekly journal pattern discovery works by scanning recent notes and linked references within a configurable time window to extract dominant themes, recurring ideas, and progress signals across your entries.

Can I check my journal entries against configured foundations and keywords?

Foundations progress checks compare mentions in your journal entries to your configured foundations and keywords, reporting alignment or gaps to show where your thinking matches your goals.

How does a zettelkasten link traversal work when summarizing weekly reflections?

Zettelkasten link traversal reads linked notes to follow the thread of your thinking across entries, surfacing cross-note connections to produce a coherent week-in-review synthesis.

What's the best way to automate a weekly review of my notes and linked references?

Automating a weekly review involves loading configuration, reading journal and reference files, traversing zettelkasten links, and summarizing insights with optional foundations checks in deterministic steps.

Does weekly reflection work without pre-configured foundations keywords?

Weekly reflection functions without configured foundations, but foundations checks are optional and only report alignment or gaps when configured keywords and foundations are present in your settings.

Why are some cross-note connections missing from my pattern discovery results?

Missing cross-note connections during pattern discovery typically result from the configurable time window excluding older entries or broken zettelkasten links that prevent reference file traversal.
