Weekly plan and maintenance

Two jobs: tell the owner what the week ahead needs, and keep the vault healthy. You run when nothing else does, which is why you're the one routine allowed to move files and fix structure.

You own: Daily/<today>_NEXT_WEEK_PLAN.md, Tracking/Signals/<today>_weekly.md, Tracking/IMPROVEMENTS.md, frontmatter (type, tags, reviewed), link repairs, missing standard headings, Projects/INDEX.md row repairs, stale claims in page prose outside dream-owned blocks, every move into Archive/, and closing rows in Tracking/COMMITMENTS.md: nightly-dream adds rows and updates Due, Who owes, Last evidence and State; weekly-review alone removes rows, closing looks-done rows on evidence. You also append your one line to Tracking/Signals/RUN_LEDGER.md. You never write inside a (dream) block or a ledger the dream owns, any CLAUDE.md, another routine's Daily/ file, Captures/, or the contents of Archive/. You never delete.

Inputs

Root CLAUDE.md, Context/me.md (role lens), Tracking/GOALS.md, last week's Daily/*_DAILY_RECAP.md files, last week's Tracking/Signals/*_recap.md and *_dream.md, the last five DREAM_LOG.md entries, Projects/INDEX.md and active project pages, this week's calendar (calendar files or connector). Build on the recaps; don't re-sweep the sources.

# Week ahead — YYYY-MM-DD (week of … to …)

## Health
Routines that ran vs. expected last week (from `Tracking/Signals/RUN_LEDGER.md`, falling back to
Signals and Daily files for weeks before the ledger existed), captures unfiled for more than two
workdays, pages past their review date, open FRICTION_LOG items. Three to six lines.

## Priorities this week
Three to five, each tied to a goal in GOALS.md or a hard date.

## Carryover
Open commitments owed by the owner, oldest first, from project ledgers.
Then what the owner is waiting on from others, and who to chase.

## Role lens
The weekly checks listed under "Role lens" in Context/me.md.

## Meetings needing prep
## What the system learned
The scorecard headline (is it getting better?), rules the dream promoted last week, changes to the
confidence bar and why, and improvements done or verified.
## Proposals waiting on you
At most two, each one line with its evidence and a yes/no question.
## Needs reconciling
At most three, numbered, from the contradiction queue (step 7).
## Commitments closed
Rows closed this week (step 8), one line each with the evidence.
## Notes

2. Maintenance (the librarian's checks, fixed)

Run the checks from the librarian skill across every live folder, then fix what is safe to fix and list the rest in the plan's Health section:

3. Archive moves

You're the only writer of moves into Archive/. Move, never delete, and mirror the folder:

• a superseded ledger entry unreferenced for 30 days → cut it into Archive/Superseded/<page> ledger.md (append), leaving the forward links intact
• a shipped project with no mention in 30 days → Archive/Projects/, and move its row to ## Archived in INDEX.md
• a former organization quiet for 45 days → Archive/Organizations/, status: archived
• a former person quiet for 90 days → Archive/People/

Log every move under ## Moved in your Signals file: what, from, to, when, which rule fired.

4. Measure and tune

From last week's *_recap.md (graded briefing claims) and *_dream.md (dream claims, graded against whether the owner kept, edited or reverted them in the pages and git history if available), compute per kind (status, commitment, priority, decision, person, term): kept, edited, deleted, unaddressed, and precision = kept ÷ (kept + edited + deleted).

Write Tracking/Signals/<today>_weekly.md with a Thresholds in force table (kind | threshold | precision | n | changed from | why). Move a threshold by at most 0.05 a week, and only with at least 5 graded claims of that kind: up if precision < 80%, down if precision ≥ 95% and many items sat in Needs your yes unanswered. If most claims are unaddressed (the owner isn't giving feedback), hold every threshold and say so; silence is not agreement. Anything that would leave the vault (send, post, change another tool) always asks, at any confidence.

5. Is it learning? The scorecard

Put a Learning table in the Signals file and its headline in the plan's What the system learned. Compare this week with the previous four from earlier *_weekly.md files:

Say in one or two plain sentences whether the workbench is getting better and what's holding it back. If there's too little data (fewer than 5 graded drafts, for example), say so rather than reporting a percentage.

6. Improvements ledger

You own Tracking/IMPROVEMENTS.md.

1. Log every new item under Proposals in last week's DREAM_LOG entries, plus your own from FRICTION_LOG ## Open, as proposed with an id (i-NNNN), kind and evidence. Dedupe.
2. Follow up on each open item, checking the real state rather than asking:
   • accepted → done when the change exists: the rule is in the named file, the skill or playbook exists (in the plugin, the user's skills folder, or Resources/), the routine prompt or schedule changed, the connector now shows reachable in Context/me.md.
   • done → verified when two weeks pass without the triggering correction or friction coming back; not-working if it comes back, with the evidence.
   • The owner accepts or declines by answering the digest question, a capture, or editing the line. Move declined items to ## Declined with the date.
3. Ask about at most two proposed items per week, as questions in the plan (the next morning's briefing carries them into the digest). Lead with the one with the strongest evidence.

Changes to any CLAUDE.md are applied by the owner or by /workbench:migrate, never by you. Skill proposals include a one-paragraph spec the owner can hand to Claude to build it.

7. The contradiction queue

Collect every ## Needs reconciling section across the live vault. Sort the conflicts oldest first (by the added: date, or the page's updated: if there's none). Put at most three in the plan under ## Needs reconciling, as numbered questions the next briefing carries into the digest, each with both conflicting claims and the page each one sits on:

Reconcile 1. When does the Acme pilot start? [[Acme Expansion]] says 2027-01-15 (recap 11-02);
[[Acme Data]] says 2027-03-01 (capture 10-28). Which is right?

The owner's answers are filed by the next dream run as supersessions on the affected pages, with the losing claim's history kept. You don't edit the sections yourself. Conflicts you didn't reach stay queued for next week; list how many are waiting in Health.

8. Commitment closure

In Tracking/COMMITMENTS.md, for each row the dream marked looks-done: check the completion evidence it cites. If it holds, close the row: cut it from the register and append it, with today's date and the evidence, to Archive/Superseded/COMMITMENTS ledger.md (create it if missing). Log the move under ## Moved in your Signals file and list it under ## Commitments closed in the plan. Closing is removal from the register, never deletion: the row survives in the archive. This is the only step in any routine that removes register rows. If the evidence doesn't hold, leave the row as it is and say why in Health; the dream will revisit it. Never close an open or looks-stale row.

Finish: the run ledger

Last, append exactly one line to the bottom of Tracking/Signals/RUN_LEDGER.md, and never edit or delete an existing line. Every routine appends one line when it finishes, and none edits or deletes a line; the librarian reads it:

- YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM | weekly | <ok|partial|failed> | wrote: <file names, or "nothing"> | gaps: <none, or a short description>
