Evaluates goal completion, captures learnings, and suggests focus for next quarter. ## Usage - `/quarter-review` — Review current/recently ended quarter - `/quarter-review Q4 2025` — Review specific past quarter --- ## Step 0: Check if Quarterly Planning is Enabled Read `System/user-profile.yaml`: 1. Check `quarterly_planning.enabled` value 2. **If `false`:** - Display: "Quarterly planning is disabled. Enable it first with `/quarter-plan`" - End command 3. **If `true`:** Continue to Step 1 --- ## Step 1: Determine Target Quarter **If no parameter:** - Calculate current quarter based on `q1_start_month` - Assume reviewing current or just-ended quarter **If parameter provided (e.g., "Q4 2025"):** - Parse quarter and year - Review that specific quarter Calculate: - `target_quarter`: "Q1 2026" - `quarter_start`: "2026-01-01" - `quarter_end`: "2026-03-31" --- ## Step 2: Context Gathering ### Quarter Goals File Check for `01-Quarter_Goals/Quarter_Goals.md`: **If exists and matches target quarter:** - Extract goals that were set - Note progress percentages (if updated) - List milestones and completion status **If missing or wrong quarter:** - Check `07-Archives/Reviews/[quarter]-goals.md` (archived version) - If still missing: "No goals found for this quarter" ### Task Completion Scan `03-Tasks/Tasks.md` for tasks completed during quarter: - Count completed tasks in date range - Major completions - Tasks that were blocked ### Project Activity Scan `04-Projects/` for activity during quarter: - Modified files in date range - Projects launched - Projects completed - Projects stalled ### Meetings & People Scan `00-Inbox/Meetings/` for quarter date range: - Total meetings held - Key discussions and decisions - New relationships formed ### Weekly Syntheses Look for `00-Inbox/Weekly_Synthesis_*.md` files in quarter: - Extract recurring themes - Compile learnings - Note energy patterns --- ## Step 2.5: Semantic Context Enrichment (if QMD available) **Check if semantic search is available** by looking for `qmd` in PATH. If available, enhance the quarterly review with meaning-based analysis: 1. **Link lessons to goals:** For each major learning captured this quarter, search: ``` qmd query "learning description" --limit 3 ``` against `01-Quarter_Goals/Quarter_Goals.md`. Discover which goals a learning actually impacted, even without explicit tags. - Example: Learning "Realized we need better onboarding docs" semantically matches goal "Improve customer activation rate" 2. **Detect hidden goal progress:** For each quarterly goal, search across all meeting notes and tasks: ``` qmd query "goal success criteria" --limit 5 ``` Find work that advanced the goal but wasn't explicitly linked. - Example: Goal "Expand EMEA presence" — QMD finds 4 meetings about European partnerships and 2 tasks about localization that were never formally linked. 3. **Cross-goal connections:** Search for themes that span multiple goals: ``` qmd query "recurring theme from the quarter" --limit 5 ``` Surface patterns like "Customer feedback kept driving both your product and content goals." **Integration:** Add a "Semantic Discoveries" subsection under each goal assessment showing work that contributed but wasn't explicitly tracked. Also add a "Cross-Goal Themes" section to the quarterly review output. **If QMD unavailable:** Skip silently. Goal assessment still works from explicit data. --- ## Step 3: Goal Assessment For each goal from `01-Quarter_Goals/Quarter_Goals.md`: **Evaluate:** - ✅ **Completed:** Fully achieved - 🔄 **Partial:** Made significant progress but not done - ❌ **Not Started:** Didn't get to it - 🚫 **Deprioritized:** Intentionally stopped For each, capture: - What was accomplished - What blocked progress (if incomplete) - Key learnings --- ## Step 4: Interactive Review **Goal-by-goal walkthrough:** > "Goal 1: [Goal title] > > Progress indicator showed: [X%] > Milestones: [Y of Z completed] > > How would you assess this goal? > - ✅ Completed > - 🔄 Partial (what % done?) > - ❌ Didn't get to it > - 🚫 Deprioritized" Wait for user response, then: > "What happened with this goal? (Key wins, blockers, learnings)" Capture narrative for each goal. **Overall quarter reflection:** > "Stepping back, how did this quarter go? > > - What were your biggest wins? > - What drained energy or didn't work? > - What would you do differently? > - What surprised you?" --- ## Step 5: Pillar Balance Review Read `System/pillars.yaml` and assess: > "Pillar balance this quarter: > - [Pillar 1]: [Goals + activity level] > - [Pillar 2]: [Goals + activity level] > - [Pillar 3]: [Goals + activity level] > > Any pillar that needs more attention next quarter?" --- ## Step 5.5: System Health & Backlog Review Review the Dex system itself and improvement backlog. ### Check Dex Backlog Read `System/Dex_Backlog.md` if it exists: **Extract:** - Total ideas in backlog - High-priority ideas (score >= 85) - Ideas captured during this quarter - Ideas marked as implemented **Present to user:** > "**Dex System Improvement Backlog:** > > - Total ideas captured: [count] > - High-priority (ready to implement): [count] > - Implemented this quarter: [count] > > Looking at your Dex backlog: > - Any 1-2 high-impact improvements to prioritize next quarter? > - Any stale ideas (>6 months old) to archive?" Wait for user input on: - Which 1-2 ideas to tackle next quarter - Any ideas to archive or refine ### Suggest Backlog Review **If 3+ high-priority ideas exist:** > "💡 Consider running `/dex-backlog` soon to re-rank ideas based on updated system state." **If no Dex_Backlog.md exists:** - Skip this section silently - In review document, note: "Dex backlog system not yet in use" --- ## Step 6: Generate Quarterly Review Create `07-Archives/Reviews/[Quarter].md`: ```markdown --- quarter: Q1 2026 start_date: 2026-01-01 end_date: 2026-03-31 reviewed_on: [date] --- # Q1 2026 Quarterly Review **Jan 1 - Mar 31, 2026** --- ## TL;DR - **Goals:** [X of Y completed] - **Key win:** [Biggest accomplishment] - **Key learning:** [Most important insight] - **Pillar balance:** [Assessment] --- ## Goal Completion ### Goal 1: [Goal Title] — **[Pillar]** **Status:** ✅ Completed / 🔄 Partial (X%) / ❌ Not Started / 🚫 Deprioritized **Original success criteria:** [What was defined in 01-Quarter_Goals/Quarter_Goals.md] **What happened:** [Narrative from user + gathered context] **Key wins:** - [Specific accomplishment] **Blockers/Challenges:** - [What got in the way] **Learnings:** - [What was learned] --- ### Goal 2: [Goal Title] — **[Pillar]** [Same structure] --- ### Goal 3: [Goal Title] — **[Pillar]** [Same structure] --- ## Quarter Highlights ### Major Accomplishments - [Project/initiative completed] - [Milestone reached] - [Key decision made] ### Projects Shipped - [Project 1] — [Brief description] - [Project 2] — [Brief description] ### New Relationships - [Person] at [Company] — [Context] ### Key Meetings/Decisions - [Date]: [Meeting/decision] — [Impact] --- ## What Didn't Work ### Incomplete Goals - [Goal] — [Why it didn't happen] ### Stalled Projects - [Project] — [What blocked it] ### Time Drains - [Activity that consumed time without value] --- ## Learnings & Insights ### Process Learnings - [What worked well] - [What to change] ### Personal Insights - [Self-awareness gained] ### System Improvements - [Dex system improvements identified] --- ## System Health & Improvement Backlog ### Dex Backlog Activity - **Ideas captured:** [Count during quarter] - **Ideas implemented:** [Count marked as completed] - **Current high-priority ideas:** [Count with score >= 85] ### Improvements Implemented This Quarter - **[idea-XXX]** [Title] — [Brief description of what was built] - **[idea-YYY]** [Title] — [Impact it had] ### Next Quarter Priorities Based on backlog review, prioritize these improvements: 1. [Idea to tackle] — [Why now] 2. [Idea to tackle] — [Why now] *Run `/dex-backlog` for full ranked list* --- ## Pillar Assessment | Pillar | Goals | Activity | Assessment | |--------|-------|----------|------------| | [Pillar 1] | [X goals] | [High/Med/Low] | [Balanced / Over-indexed / Neglected] | | [Pillar 2] | [Y goals] | [High/Med/Low] | [Assessment] | | [Pillar 3] | [Z goals] | [High/Med/Low] | [Assessment] | **Next quarter adjustment:** [Which pillar needs more/less focus] --- ## Stats - **Weeks in quarter:** 13 - **Meetings held:** [Count] - **Tasks completed:** [Count] - **Projects shipped:** [Count] - **Weekly syntheses:** [Count completed] --- ## Next Quarter Suggestions Based on this quarter's learnings: ### Carry Forward - [ ] [Incomplete goal to continue] - [ ] [Unfinished initiative] ### New Opportunities - [Area to explore next quarter] - [Project idea that emerged] ### Focus Areas 1. [Suggested priority 1] 2. [Suggested priority 2] 3. [Suggested priority 3] ### Process Changes - [Adjustment to workflow] - [System improvement to implement] --- ## Energy Assessment <details> <summary>Click to expand</summary> ### What Gave Energy - [Activities/projects that were energizing] ### What Drained Energy - [Activities that felt like a slog] ### Adjustment for Next Quarter - [More of X, less of Y] </details> --- *Generated: [timestamp]* *Command: /quarter-review* ``` --- ## Step 7: Next Quarter Planning Prompt After review is complete: > "Quarter reviewed and saved to `07-Archives/Reviews/Q1-2026.md` > > **Ready to plan next quarter (Q2 2026)?** > > I have suggestions based on what you learned this quarter. > > [Yes, let's plan Q2] [No, I'll do it later]" **If yes:** Flow directly into `/quarter-plan next` --- ## Follow-up Actions After review: 1. Archive old `01-Quarter_Goals/Quarter_Goals.md` if not already done 2. Update `System/user-profile.yaml` with completed quarter 3. Suggest running `/quarter-plan` for next quarter --- ## Integration Points **Called at end of quarter:** - Natural time: Last week of quarter - Can run anytime after quarter ends **Feeds into `/quarter-plan`:** - Next quarter planning reads this review - Suggestions inform new goals **References:** - `01-Quarter_Goals/Quarter_Goals.md` — Original plan - Weekly syntheses — Week-by-week activity - Task completions — Actual work done - Meeting notes — Context gathered --- ## Graceful Degradation ### Missing Goals File - Can still review based on tasks, projects, meetings - Notes that no formal goals were set ### First Quarter - No previous quarter to compare to - Focus on establishing baseline ### Incomplete Data - Works with whatever data is available - Prompts user to fill in gaps --- ## Track Usage (Silent) Update `System/usage_log.md` to mark quarterly review as used. **Analytics (Silent):** Call `track_event` with event_name `quarter_review_completed` and properties: - goals_assessed - completion_rate This only fires if the user has opted into analytics. No action needed if it returns "analytics_disabled".
