Reverse weekly review for turning inbox noise, daily plans, diaries, calendars, annual plans, and long-range life plans into one happiness-and-peace-centered weekly plan. Use when the user asks for 週檢視, 反向週計劃, 8 Big Rocks, Inbox Zero weekly review, 幸福寧靜週, or wants to synthesize Todoist/inbox notes, daily diaries, calendars, yearly plans, and life plans into iMandalArt/FIRE/JSON outputs.

Weekly Reverse Review

Purpose

Turn one week of evidence into the next week's meaningful plan by asking:

Is this making me prove myself, or bringing real happiness and peace?

This skill is a reverse planning skill. It does not start by adding tasks. It first gathers evidence from life, removes noise, checks long-range meaning, then produces a compact weekly plan.

Core Principle

Use the center phrase 幸福寧靜週 unless the user gives another five-Han-character center.

Default final question:

那件事情能帶來真正的幸福與寧靜？

Default operating sentence:

少說，陪伴，慢慢做。

Inputs

Gather only the sources available in the user request or local context:

  • Inbox or Todoist export: loose tasks, reminders, and noise.
  • Daily plan / diary / calendar: what actually happened.
  • Year plan / hundred-year life plan: long-range meaning and values.
  • Existing weekly plan: user's human-made 8 Big Rocks.
  • Photos, social posts, TheBrain, AIDA, or other record stores when provided.

When source files are present, read them before synthesizing.

Skill Connections

Use these skills when available and relevant:

  • fire-analysis-card: semantic analysis, numbering, index, route, evolution.
  • imandalart: final 2.01 hard-line weekly 3x3 card.
  • todays-daily-plan: daily plan and diary extraction.
  • markdown-nine-grid-clipboard: Markdown table version of the weekly card.
  • project-note-json-to-epub: publishing-ready project-note JSON when weekly reviews become manuscript material.
  • Calendar skills or apps: calendar evidence, not planning fantasy.

Workflow

  1. Collect evidence

    • Inbox: what is asking for attention?
    • Diary/calendar: what actually happened?
    • Year/life plan: what matters over a longer arc?
    • Existing weekly plan: what the human brain already chose.

  2. Detect imbalance

    • Identify the strongest domain.
    • Identify domains being swallowed by the strongest domain.
    • Health, leisure, and finance often need explicit minimum actions.

  3. Reverse-check motives

    • Is this for proving myself?
    • Is this for real happiness and peace?
    • Does this support family, friendship, service, health, or meaningful work?
    • What should be deleted, delayed, delegated, or downgraded?

  4. Choose weekly rocks

    • Keep eight domains, but make each domain evidence-backed.
    • Give every weak domain a minimum viable action.
    • Convert people meetings into person / theme / next step cards.
    • Convert writing progress into at most three manuscript cards.

  5. Produce outputs

    • Short recommendation.
    • FIRE-style semantic summary when requested or when enough evidence exists.
    • iMandalArt weekly card in the fixed weekly layout.
    • Optional JSON using references/output-json-schema.md.

Fixed Weekly Layout

When generating iMandalArt weekly plans, use the user's weekly-domain layout, not the default process layout:

Ⓕ內在　Ⓒ財流　Ⓖ學習
...
...

Ⓑ工作　◎◎◎◎◎　Ⓓ家庭
...　幸福寧靜週　...
...　◎◎◎◎◎　...

Ⓔ社群　Ⓐ健康　Ⓗ休閒
...
...

Read references/weekly-eight-domain-layout.md for the full mapping and phrase guidance.

Reverse Questions

Before finalizing, ask internally:

  • Which one thing brings the most genuine happiness and peace?
  • What can be smaller and still count?
  • Which domain needs a minimum action rather than a heroic plan?
  • Which relationship needs presence instead of advice?
  • Which writing task becomes a card instead of a vague ambition?

Read references/reverse-review-questions.md when the review needs deeper diagnosis.

Default Output

For a normal weekly review, return:

  1. One concise diagnosis.
  2. One iMandalArt weekly card.
  3. Three minimum actions.
  4. Three cards to keep or publish.
  5. One short "do less" note.

Do not over-explain unless the user asks for a full analysis.

Quality Rules

  • Prefer evidence from files over generic productivity advice.
  • Do not optimize only for achievement; optimize for happiness, peace, service, health, and meaningful work.
  • Keep the weekly plan small enough to live.
  • Mark uncertain claims as 待證, 推論, or 需補.
  • If writing or tool-building dominates, explicitly protect health, leisure, and finance.
  • If relationships appear, turn them into presence and next-step cards, not contact chores.
