naps62 bdeded310a feat(week-review): filter carry-over on the weekly-review label
Reading every open issue would pull in unrelated work once the repo has
any. Newly filed issues must carry the label or the next run cannot see
them.

Use when the user asks to review the week, review recent sessions, or asks what to improve about their setup. Also picks up carry-over items filed as issues on the agent-skills repo.

# Week review
Find what went wrong repeatedly, fix the cause, file the rest.
The output is changes and issues, not a report. A finding nobody acts on was
not worth the tokens to produce.
## 1. Carry-over first
Read the open issues before scanning anything. Last week's unfinished work is
the highest-value input, and re-deriving it from transcripts wastes a lot of
context.
```sh
source ~/.env.claude
curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" \
"https://git.naps.pt/api/v1/repos/yolo/agent-skills/issues?state=open&labels=weekly-review&limit=50" \
| python3 -c "import json,sys; [print(f\"#{i['number']} {i['title']}\") for i in json.load(sys.stdin)]"
```
Read the bodies, not just the titles — several carry a design already argued
through, so the run starts from the open question rather than from scratch.
Ask which to take this week. Do not silently re-litigate one the user already
deferred; a deferred item stays open and gets one line in the summary.
## 2. Scan
```sh
python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/scan-sessions.py --days 7 --out <scratch>
```
Writes `sessions.json` (one record per session) and `userturns.txt` (every
human turn, grouped). It drops subagent transcripts and flags swarm runs —
collapse those to a single line, since one `/code-review ultra` can be 500+
sessions and 40% of the week's bytes without being 40% of the week's work.
Read `userturns.txt` in full. It is the primary evidence and it is usually
40-100k tokens. Do not sample it.
## 3. Find the friction
Rank by how often the same thing went wrong, not by how annoying any one
instance felt. In order of signal strength:
- **The same correction given more than once**, especially across different
repos. Four separate "stop putting decisions in the spec, use an ADR"
corrections means the rule belongs in global config, not in each repo.
- **A fix that did not hold.** Something declared fixed in one session and
recurring days later. Name both sessions.
- **Crashes, `/compact` confusion, "are you there?", sessions restarted to
rebuild lost state.**
- **Security slips** — a secret echoed, an env value written somewhere it
persists. These outrank everything above on consequence.
- **Anything the user said twice in different words.**
Quote the user verbatim with the date and repo. A finding without a quote is a
guess, and the user can tell.
## 4. Check the docs before recommending
Model behaviour changes and last year's advice rots. Before proposing a
prompt, skill, or config change, read the relevant page — do not answer from
memory:
- `platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/prompting-claude-opus-5`
- `.../prompting-claude-fable-5`
- `.../claude-prompting-best-practices`
- `code.claude.com/docs/en/memory`
Two findings from these that keep mattering: instructions to verify or
re-check compound badly and should be removed, and prompt style leaks into
output style, so a rule written in dense prose teaches dense prose.
Search for community practice too, and say which source a recommendation came
from.
## 5. Measure before trimming
Always-loaded and on-demand are different budgets, and conflating them
produces wrong advice.
| Always loaded | On demand |
|---|---|
| entry files and every `@import` they pull | skill bodies |
| `~/.claude/rules/*.md` without `paths:` frontmatter | `~/.claude/rules/*.md` **with** `paths:` |
| the first 200 lines of each project's `MEMORY.md` | memory topic files |
| every skill's `name` + `description` | |
Count lines, not words — Anthropic's target is under 200 lines per file.
Splitting one file into `@import`s saves nothing; only deleting content or
adding `paths:` scoping does.
## 6. Apply, then file the rest
Propose a ranked shortlist with an appetite for each. Apply what the user
agrees to, in this repo, and push. For anything deferred or too large, file a
Gitea issue so next week starts from step 1 instead of a re-derivation.
**This repo is public.** Issues must carry no client names, no hostnames, no
secrets, no internal ticket IDs. Describe the shape of the problem, not the
customer it happened at. When quoting the user as evidence, strip identifying
detail first.
Label every issue `weekly-review` (id 37) so step 1 picks it up next run. An
issue filed without it is invisible to the next review.
```sh
source ~/.env.claude
curl -s -X POST -H "Authorization: token $GITEA_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://git.naps.pt/api/v1/repos/yolo/agent-skills/issues" \
-d '{"title":"...","body":"...","labels":[37]}'
```
Close issues that got done this week, with a one-line comment saying what
landed.
## Scope
Config, skills, hooks, and prompts. Not a project status report — the user has
trackers for that. If a week's biggest problem is a product bug, say so in one
line and move on.
