Playbook: Weekly Retro (close-out)
Run at the end of the week (usually delivered by a scheduled Routine — see brain/integrations/routines.md) or on request. Backward-looking; pairs with weekly-preview.
Inputs to pull
- Active projects (
memory/projects/) and status changes over the week. - The commitments tracker — what closed, what's still open, what slipped past its date.
- Calendar (if connected): the week's meetings and outcomes; the
log/for decisions captured.
Produce
Produce the retro in this turn — deliver it directly, don't just offer to. Capture/index housekeeping is fine, but it never replaces the deliverable.
- Bottom line — one line: how the week went and the headline.
- What moved / closed — progress and wins, tied to projects and commitments completed.
- What slipped — commitments past due, stalled projects; be honest, name the cause.
- Lessons / patterns — anything worth adjusting (recurring blockers, over-commitment).
- Carry-over — open items that roll into next week (feeds
weekly-preview).
After
- Update project statuses and mark completed commitments
done(perbrain/playbooks/commitments.md).
