Weekly Template

You are given the following context for my week: $ARGUMENTS

Step 0: Clean up previous week's daily notes

Ask the user if they want to delete the previous week's daily notes from the ./Daily Notes folder. If they say yes, delete all daily notes from the previous week (7 days prior) Also remove all prior weekly notes that are more than 1 week old.

Step 1: Create the weekly note

Please create a new note in the "Weekly Notes" folder. The title should be "Weekly Note - Month, Day Year" using today's date.

Step 2: Review Notion data and create the note

This Notion MCP has no filter/query tool and view:// URLs aren't fetchable, so use the search → fetch → filter pattern (see CLAUDE.md "HOW TO QUERY THESE DATABASES"). Do NOT try to fetch views and do NOT print any "falling back" message.

Active projects — notion-search the Projects collection collection://2c0abd6c-450a-807a-a3d7-000b8d8aaecc with page_size: 25, max_highlight_length: 0. Fetch the returned pages in parallel, then keep those with Status = "Active" and Type ≠ "Personal".
This week's tasks — notion-search the Tasks collection collection://2c0abd6c-450a-8085-80a0-000ba136a154 with page_size: 25, max_highlight_length: 0, seeding query with the active-project names plus "due this week blocking". Fetch the results in parallel and drop anything with Status = "Done".

List all active projects and ask me which 3 I want to prioritize for the upcoming week. If there isn't a weekly goal for the selected projects, ask me to write one. Update the Focus this week field to true for the selected projects (and set to false for any previously selected projects not in my new list).

Then add the following to the note

Format the note with the following sections:

Priorities for this week - List the three projects I selected with their weekly goal.
Key tasks - List all tasks that are due this week. Order by due date and blocker status. Show the task name, related project, type, and effort level. Provide a link to the task in Notion.

Step 3: Review the week's calendar

Use the Microsoft 365 connector's outlook_calendar_search tool to fetch the upcoming week's events:

afterDateTime: this coming Monday at 00:00, beforeDateTime: Friday at 23:59
query: "*", order: "oldest", limit: 25

🚨 TIMEZONE: The connector returns times in UTC (ISO strings ending in Z). Convert each to Eastern Time before reasoning about them — EDT = UTC−4 (mid-Mar to early-Nov), EST = UTC−5 otherwise. Exclude "NDS Design Readiness & Refinement" meetings, and treat isAllDay events (PTO/OOO) as out-of-office.

Use AJ's work day (9 AM–5:30 PM ET) and these events to estimate how much unscheduled time exists across the week — this feeds the reading suggestions below.

Step 4: Generate my reading list

Using the same search → fetch → filter pattern: notion-search the Reading List collection collection://2c4abd6c-450a-804a-809a-000bc77d02c1 with page_size: 25, max_highlight_length: 0. Fetch the returned pages in parallel and keep those with Status = "To Read" or "In Progress". (Don't fetch view:// URLs.)

Under Suggested Reading recommend 2 articles that fit the available time blocks:
- Look at the unscheduled time across the week (from Step 3) to determine what reading time is appropriate
- Match articles based on Read time field:
  - Short = <5 minutes (fits in small gaps)
  - Medium = <15 minutes (needs decent gap)
  - Long = >15 minutes (needs larger block)
- For each article show: Title, Topic, Read time, and URL
- Briefly explain why these articles fit the week's schedule

Formatting Rules

Always provide a tl;dr summary at the top of the note
Add a "## Table of Contents" section after the frontmatter using Obsidian internal link syntax [[#Heading Name]] for all H2 sections (if there are more than 3 H2 sections)
