FAQPage Schema

How do I start monthly planning with a clear theme and outcomes?▼

To start monthly planning, define a month theme, list top outcomes, and carry over decisions from the prior month review. This skill synthesizes existing goals and prior reviews to generate a focused month plan.

What is the best way to carry over decisions from last month's review into a new month plan?▼

Carrying over decisions requires reading prior month reviews and existing goals to extract relevant learnings. This skill synthesizes that context to apply previous outcomes directly into your new monthly plan.

Can I automatically generate a markdown file for my monthly plan?▼

Yes, you can automatically generate a month-plan.md file. This skill optionally writes the synthesized monthly plan into a markdown file, organizing it under the current year and month folders.

Do I need existing goals and prior reviews to use this monthly planning skill?▼

Yes, existing goals and prior reviews are required. This skill applies to planning sessions at the start of the month by reading prior month reviews and goals to synthesize a focused month plan.

What limitations exist when defining top outcomes for a month?▼

A key limitation is that synthesizing top outcomes depends entirely on existing goals and prior month reviews. Without this context, the skill cannot generate a focused month plan or carry over decisions.
