Goal Check

Conduct a comprehensive review of the user's long-term goals with progress assessment and actionable next steps.

When to Use

This is a manual-only skill. User must explicitly invoke with /goal-check.

Typical use cases:

• 📅 Weekly goal reviews (Sunday evenings, Friday afternoons)
• 📊 Monthly/quarterly check-ins
• 🎯 User asks "How am I doing on my goals?"
• 🔄 Major life transitions (new job, new year, post-vacation)
• 🤔 User feels stuck or unmotivated

Workflow

1. Read All Goals

Read Goals/Goals.md thoroughly:

• Identify all active goals
• Note status of each (not started, in progress, completed, paused)
• Understand timeframes (short-term, long-term, no deadline)
• Look for connections between goals

2. Gather Evidence from Diary

Scan Diary/ entries from the past week (or month if monthly review):

• Look for activities related to each goal
• Find wins, progress, setbacks
• Identify patterns (consistent work, procrastination, blockers)
• Note user's energy/mood during goal-related activities

Search for tags:

• [GOAL] - Explicit goal mentions
• [TASK] - Completed tasks that advance goals
• [DECISION] - Decisions affecting goals
• Goal keywords (workout, code, write, etc.)

3. Assess Each Goal

For each active goal, determine:

Progress Status:

• 🚀 Ahead - Exceeding expectations, faster than planned
• ✅ On Track - Steady progress, meeting milestones
• ⚠️ Behind - Slower than expected, missing milestones
• 🔴 Stalled - No progress in 2+ weeks
• ❓ Unclear - Can't assess (need metrics/milestones)

Evidence:

• What specific actions were taken this week?
• Quantify if possible (e.g., "3 workouts", "2 chapters written")
• Compare to previous week/month

Blockers (if any):

• What's preventing progress?
• Is it internal (motivation, energy) or external (resources, time)?
• Is it temporary or systemic?

4. Build the Review Report

Structure with: Overall Progress → Individual Goal Reviews → Wins → Patterns → Recommended Focus → Suggested Adjustments

Deliver as: Detailed but scannable, 500-800 words, honest but supportive

5. Update Goals File & Log

• Update Goals/Goals.md if status changed
• Append review to Diary/YYYY-MM-DD.md with [GOAL-CHECK] tag

The goal is for the user to feel: ✅ Clear on progress (honest assessment) ✅ Motivated (wins celebrated, path forward clear) ✅ Supported (you see their effort) ✅ Accountable (data doesn't lie, but you're not judging)
