Task-Based Progress Tracking

The weekly skill uses session tasks to show progress through the 3-phase review.

Phase Tasks

Create tasks at skill start:

TaskCreate:
  subject: "Phase 1: Collect"
  description: "Gather daily notes from past week, extract wins and challenges"
  activeForm: "Collecting daily notes and extracting highlights..."

TaskCreate:
  subject: "Phase 2: Reflect"
  description: "Calculate goal progress, analyze alignment gaps"
  activeForm: "Calculating goal progress and alignment..."

TaskCreate:
  subject: "Phase 3: Plan"
  description: "Identify ONE Big Thing, plan daily focus areas for next week"
  activeForm: "Planning next week's focus..."

Dependencies

Phases must run in order:

TaskUpdate: "Phase 2: Reflect", addBlockedBy: [phase-1-collect-id]
TaskUpdate: "Phase 3: Plan", addBlockedBy: [phase-2-reflect-id]

Reflect is blocked until Collect completes. Plan is blocked until Reflect completes. This provides visibility into the 30-minute review process.

Mark each task in_progress when starting, completed when done using TaskUpdate.

Task tools are session-scoped and don’t persist between Claude sessions—your actual weekly review content is saved in the review note.
