SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It converts a target journaling period into a clear, evidence-based recap that scores progress, aggregates achievements/events/learnings, and produces carry-forward plan items.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated period recap: Generates a structured review for week/month/quarter/year periods (w/m/q/y) using existing entries and child period data.
  • Metrics + trends: Aggregates children scores (including average and trend vs previous period) and computes completion-style signals for plan vs achievements.
  • Goal/plan review with carry-forward: Classifies plan items (done/next/drop), summarizes progress, and appends only still-open “next” items to the next period’s plan.
  • Evidence-grounded writing: Produces a plain-paragraph summary plus deduplicated lists of achievements, events, and learnings grounded in period evidence.

Quick Start

Run a period recap for the current week by executing: period-summary w 0.

Frequently Asked Questions about period-summary

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a reflective journal summary for a weekly or monthly period?

Generate a reflective journal summary by running a recap command for the target period, which aggregates child period data, scores plan items, and computes progress metrics to produce an evidence-grounded summary.

Can I automatically carry forward unfinished plan items to the next journaling period?

Yes, you can carry forward unfinished plan items by classifying them as next items during the review, which the system then appends to the next period's plan automatically.

How does period scoring and progress metric calculation work for quarterly journaling?

Period scoring aggregates scores from child periods, computes an average, and calculates a trend against the previous period to produce completion-style signals comparing plan items to achievements.

What is the best way to deduplicate achievements and learnings across a yearly journal review?

Deduplicate achievements and learnings by aggregating entries from child periods and removing redundancies, producing a consolidated list of unique events and progress evidence.

Do I need existing journal entries to run a period recap?

Yes, existing journal entries are required because the recap reconciles the target entry with its child periods and adjacent context to generate the evidence-based summary and carry-forward decisions.

Can I review and classify plan items as done, next, or drop in a structured journal recap?

Yes, you can classify plan items as done, next, or drop during the recap, which updates the target entry via binder update and appends only still-open items to the next plan.
