Weekly Self Improve Loop

Weekly review of memory and blocked items. Extract friction patterns, create skills, and update autonomy baseline.

Weekly review for continuous improvement.

Problem

Without regular review:

• Same mistakes repeat
• Friction patterns unnoticed
• Skills don't evolve
• Autonomy degrades

Workflow

1. Weekly Review (Every 7 Days)

powershell

# Get last 7 days of memory
$startDate = (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)
$memoryFiles = Get-ChildItem "memory/" -Filter "*.md" | 
    Where-Object { $_.LastWriteTime -ge $startDate }

# Aggregate metrics
$totalTasks = 0
$completedTasks = 0
$blockedTasks = 0
$patterns = @{}

foreach ($file in $memoryFiles) {
    $content = Get-Content $file.FullName -Raw
    
    # Count tasks
    $totalTasks += ([regex]::Matches($content, "Task:")).Count
    $completedTasks += ([regex]::Matches($content, "Status: complete")).Count
    $blockedTasks += ([regex]::Matches($content, "Blocker:")).Count
    
    # Extract patterns
    $blockers = [regex]::Matches($content, "Blocker: (.+)")
    foreach ($b in $blockers) {
        $key = $b.Groups[1].Value
        $patterns[$key] = $patterns[$key] + 1
    }
}

# Calculate rates
$completionRate = [math]::Round(($completedTasks / $totalTasks) * 100, 1)
$blockerRate = [math]::Round(($blockedTasks / $totalTasks) * 100, 1)

2. Pattern Extraction

powershell

# Find top friction patterns
$topPatterns = $patterns.GetEnumerator() | 
    Sort-Object Value -Descending | 
    Select-Object -First 3

foreach ($p in $topPatterns) {
    Write-Host "Pattern: $($p.Key) ({$p.Value} occurrences)"
    
    # Create or update skill
    $skillName = $p.Key -replace '[^a-z]', '-' -replace '-+', '-'
    $skillPath = "skills/local/$skillName-recovery"
    
    if (Test-Path $skillPath) {
        Write-Host "  Updating existing skill..."
    } else {
        Write-Host "  Creating new skill..."
        # Create skill (see memory-to-skill-crystallizer)
    }
}

3. Report Generation

markdown

## Weekly Report (YYYY-MM-DD)

**Metrics**:
- Total tasks: X
- Completion rate: Y%
- Blocker rate: Z%

**Top Friction Patterns**:
1. Pattern A (N occurrences)
2. Pattern B (N occurrences)
3. Pattern C (N occurrences)

**New Skills Created**:
- skill-name-1
- skill-name-2

**Next Week Focus**:
- Address pattern A with automated fix
- Review skill effectiveness

Executable Completion Criteria

Criteria	Verification
Review executed	Report file created
Metrics calculated	Completion/blocker rates present
Patterns extracted	Top 3 patterns identified
Skills created/updated	At least 1 skill actioned

Privacy/Safety

• Aggregate data only (no specifics)
• Rates and counts, not content
• Local report (not published)

Self-Use Trigger

Use when:

• Day of week = Sunday (or configured)
• Manual review requested
• After major project completion
