Weekly review

A weekly review your AI runs with you. It asks five questions, then writes the week up in Amber Notes, newest first.

For anyone who wants twenty calm minutes on Sunday instead of a vague Monday.

Free. Paste the prompt into ChatGPT or Claude with Amber Notes connected: it creates the note, then fills it in. For Claude Code, use its tab below. No Amber Notes yet? Download it for Mac.

Questions

Tell your AI

First, look for a note called "Weekly review" in my Amber Notes with search_notes. If there isn't one, create it with create_note in the folder "Notes", using exactly the markdown at the end of this message, the <!-- pane-table --> line included (it gives the table's columns their types). Then: Use my Amber Notes note "Weekly review". When I say it's time for my weekly review, ask me the questions under "Questions" one at a time. Then add the week at the start of "Reviews" with append_to_note (at_start): a "### Week of" heading with Monday's date, my answers as short bullets in my own words, and my top three as a checklist. When I tell you one is done, tick it with set_checklist_item.

  • What keeps coming up in my reviews?

What you'll get

The same note after a few days of talking to your AI. Tinted lines are what it added, the way Amber Notes shows an AI's changes, with Undo and the earlier version kept in the note's history.
