Weekly Operating Review

/weekly-operating-review — Friday Pulse

The Friday weekly cadence in one skill. Adapted from AIS-OS weekly improvement loop.

When to use

• Friday afternoon (or whenever your week ends)
• Weekly cadence, no exceptions for 90+ days

When NOT to use

• Mid-week ("I'll just do a quick review") — defeats the trend
• Daily — that's /daily-plan + /end-of-day-review

Inputs

• Last 7 days of decisions/log.md
• Last 7 days of ~/.claude/usage.jsonl (if exists)
• Most recent docs/audits/*.md
• Current context/Priorities.md

Outputs

• A new audit report (via /audit)
• A /level-up recommendation logged in decisions/log.md
• A refreshed kb/wiki/_hot.md
• One end-of-week entry in decisions/log.md

Steps

1. Pre-flight

• git status --short — flag dirty state
• Read most recent audit; note total score
• Read most recent /level-up entry; note whether the recommended artifact was built

2. Run /audit

Invoke the audit skill. Capture: total score, top 3 gaps, recommended next action.

3. Run /level-up

Use the audit's top gap as the constraint. Walk the 5 questions. Land on one artifact.

4. Refresh kb/wiki/_hot.md

Re-derive each section:

• This week's focus ← context/Priorities.md "this week" + audit's top gap
• Active decisions in play ← decisions/log.md last 7 days, status Active or Planned
• Open candidates from /level-up ← decisions/log.md Type: <skill|script|...> entries with Status: Planned and not yet built
• Hot wiki articles ← inspect kb/wiki/log.md for articles touched in last 7 days; pick top 5 by relevance to focus
• Active connections at risk ← connections.md rows with Status: auth pending|paused
• Leverage gap of the week ← audit's top gap (one sentence)

Write the file. Update last-updated: to today.

5. Log the weekly review

## YYYY-MM-DD — Weekly operating review

**Audit total:** X/100 (Δ from last: ±Y)
**Top gap:** <one line from audit>
**Level-up recommendation:** <artifact + why>
**Hot cache refreshed:** yes
**Status:** Reflective; no artifacts built this run.
**Follow-up:** Build the recommended artifact this coming week. Re-audit next Friday.

6. Output to user

Three-line summary:

• Score (with delta)
• Top gap
• Recommended artifact

That's it. The full reports are in their files.

Hard rules

• MUST NOT build anything. This is reflection only.
• MUST update _hot.md even if score didn't change.
• MUST log even if no recommendation surfaced (a "stable, no recommendation" week is signal).
• MUST flag if last week's recommendation wasn't acted on.

Failure modes

Reference files

• references/four-cs-framework.md — what /audit measures
• references/3ms-framework.md — what /level-up thinks about
• docs/CADENCE.md — when this skill fires
• docs/WIKI_LAYER.md — what _hot.md is for

Improvement loop

After each weekly review:

1. Did the operator act on the recommendation? If never → /level-up recommendations are wrong scope or wrong priority
2. Is the trend line going up? If flat for 4 weeks → either the OS plateau is real, or the rubric is mis-calibrated
3. Is _hot.md actually being read? If not → either reduce its size further, or stop maintaining it
