FAQPage Schema
How do I automate monthly reviews and generate insights from my vault activity?▼

To automate monthly reviews, this skill scans your vault activity to generate a comprehensive reflection block covering velocity, themes, stale notes, and project health. It automatically writes these insights into your periodic monthly note.

What is thematic analysis and how does it work with wikilinks in notes?▼

Thematic analysis identifies growing areas by calculating wikilink frequency across your weekly and daily notes. This process highlights the most prominent topics discussed during the month, helping you track thematic shifts.

How do I identify stale notes that haven't been updated in 30 days?▼

Identifying stale notes involves surfacing notes within hot categories that have not been updated in 30 or more days. This skill automatically flags these dormant notes as part of the monthly review block generation.

Can I generate project health insights for stuck or dormant projects in my monthly note?▼

Yes, project health insights are generated by identifying stuck or dormant projects within your vault. The skill writes this analysis directly into the periodic monthly note to help you reflect and plan effectively.

Does the monthly review output support language-aware headers and labels?▼

Yes, the output is language-aware, detecting the language from the frontmatter and adjusting headers and labels accordingly. This ensures the generated monthly review block matches your vault's configured language.

Do I need to manually create the monthly note before running a monthly review?▼

No, you do not need to manually create the note. The skill automatically creates the periodic/monthly/YYYY-MM.md file when it is missing, ensuring the review block is always written successfully.
