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.

  1. Bottom line — one line: how the week went and the headline.
  2. What moved / closed — progress and wins, tied to projects and commitments completed.
  3. What slipped — commitments past due, stalled projects; be honest, name the cause.
  4. Lessons / patterns — anything worth adjusting (recurring blockers, over-commitment).
  5. Carry-over — open items that roll into next week (feeds weekly-preview).

After

  • Update project statuses and mark completed commitments done (per brain/playbooks/commitments.md).
