The 20-Minute Weekly Review I Run With My AI Agent (Free Skill)

My daily planning skill handles today. This one makes sure the days add up to something. Every Friday afternoon I sit down with my agent for 20 minutes and close the week properly.

I published it as a free installable skill, same as the others. Grab it here: https://github.com/lilnickyai/claude-code-skills-samples

A skill is a SKILL.md file your agent loads on its own. You say "run my weekly review" and it walks you through the whole thing. No setup, no pasting.

The 20 minutes

Score the week (5 min). Every planned priority gets one of three labels: done, moved, or dropped. "Still working on it" is not a label. Count how many top priorities actually finished. The number is information, not judgment.

Collect the strays (5 min). Everything that came up but never made a list: loose ends, promises made in passing, scribbled ideas. Each one gets a home: next week's list, a someday list, or the trash. Everything gets a verdict.

Find the pattern (5 min). Look at what got moved or dropped and ask what kept getting in the way. Name it in one sentence. Then pick one fix for next week. One, not five.

Set next week's big three (5 min). The three outcomes that would make next week a win. Then name the one thing most likely to derail them, and decide the counter move now.

Why it works

Skipped reviews are how "busy" turns into "nothing shipped." The review moves the week out of your head and into a written record, so Monday starts light. A scored week at 50 percent beats an unreviewed week every time. The point is the habit, not the score.

The free skill and the paid collection

The weekly-review skill is free on GitHub, no email, no catch: https://github.com/lilnickyai/claude-code-skills-samples

It pairs with the two free skills already there: first-run-setup (gets your agent configured right) and daily-plan (the 10-minute morning routine). The review is the third leg. Daily handles today, weekly makes the days add up.

If the free ones earn their keep, the full productivity collection goes further: the Everyday Productivity Skills pack ($19) covers the whole workday system: https://littlenova5.gumroad.com/l/llhvc

And the complete library of 12 Claude Code skills, including safe mode, is the bundle ($29): https://littlenova5.gumroad.com/l/dqstyg
