What problem does it solve? Doctoral learners work on multi-year projects with few external deadlines, making it easy to drift for weeks without meaningful progress. This Skill provides a structured weekly review that surfaces what was accomplished, diagnoses slippage, and locks in concrete commitments for the coming week. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-Part Review Structure: Walks through capture and close, reality check, learning and insight, next-week planning, and a mindset close in 20-30 minutes. - Slippage Diagnosis: Assesses whether the learner is on track, behind, or stalled, and recommends escalation to related skills like procrastination-audit or motivation-reset when patterns emerge. - Commitment Planning: Caps next week at three commitments with measurable done conditions and prompts calendar blocking for writing sessions. - Use Case: A PhD candidate ends each Friday by running the review, discovers they skipped writing sessions two weeks in a row, and schedules three timed writing blocks for the following week. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a weekly review of your dissertation progress and help you plan next week's top three commitments.
