What it does

Review is an agent skill from ballred/obsidian-claude-pkm. Smart review router. Detects context (morning, Sunday, end of month) and launches the appropriate review workflow. Use anytime for the right review at the right time.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management. The repository describes itself as: A complete starter kit for an Obsidian + Claude Code personal knowledge management system. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Knowledge Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/review”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check the Time of Day
  2. Check the Day of Week
  3. Check the Day of Month
  4. Check Staleness

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ef1e4da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash
    • TaskCreate
    • TaskUpdate
    • TaskList
    • TaskGet

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Review loads about 936 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 360 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~936

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Review Skill

Smart router that detects context and launches the appropriate review workflow.

Usage

/review           # Auto-detect the right review based on time/context
/review daily     # Force daily review
/review weekly    # Force weekly review
/review monthly   # Force monthly review

Or simply: "Help me review" — and the right workflow starts.

Auto-Detection Logic

When invoked without arguments, detect context using these rules:

1. Check the Time of Day
bash
HOUR=$(date +%H)
  • Before noon (< 12): Morning routine — delegate to /daily morning workflow
  • After 5 PM (>= 17): Evening shutdown — delegate to /daily evening workflow
  • Midday (12-17): Midday check-in — delegate to /daily midday workflow
2. Check the Day of Week
bash
DAY_OF_WEEK=$(date +%u)  # 1=Monday, 7=Sunday
  • Sunday (7) or Monday (1): Weekly review — delegate to /weekly
    • Override time-of-day detection
    • Ask: "Ready for your weekly review?" before proceeding
3. Check the Day of Month
bash
DAY_OF_MONTH=$(date +%d)
DAYS_IN_MONTH=$(date -v+1m -v1d -v-1d +%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "$(date +%Y-%m-01) +1 month -1 day" +%d)

  • Last 3 days of month (DAY_OF_MONTH >= DAYS_IN_MONTH - 2): Monthly review — delegate to /monthly

    • Override both time-of-day and day-of-week detection
    • Ask: "End of month — ready for your monthly review?" before proceeding

  • First day of month (DAY_OF_MONTH == 1): Also suggest monthly review

    • "It's the first of the month. Want to do your monthly review for last month?"
4. Check Staleness

Before routing, check for overdue reviews:

bash
# Read weekly review file for last date
WEEKLY_REVIEW="Goals/3. Weekly Review.md"
# If last weekly review > 7 days ago, suggest weekly regardless of day
  • Weekly review overdue (>7 days): Suggest weekly review
    • "Your last weekly review was N days ago. Want to catch up?"
    • If user says no, fall through to time-of-day detection

Routing Behavior

After detecting context:

  1. Tell the user what was detected: "It's Sunday evening — launching your weekly review."
  2. Delegate to the appropriate skill's workflow
  3. The delegated skill handles everything from there
Show full SKILL.md (129 more words)Show less
Delegation

This skill does NOT duplicate the logic of /daily, /weekly, or /monthly. It:

  1. Detects context
  2. Informs the user
  3. Follows the instructions from the target skill's SKILL.md
Explicit Override

If the user specifies a type (/review weekly), skip auto-detection entirely and go directly to that review type.

Output on Detection

markdown
### Review Router

**Time:** 7:15 AM (Morning)
**Day:** Sunday
**Month day:** 15th

**Detected:** Weekly review (Sunday override)
**Last weekly review:** 3 days ago (not overdue)

Launching weekly review...

Edge Cases

  • Multiple triggers (e.g., last Sunday of month): Monthly takes priority over weekly
  • No daily note exists: Create one first, then continue with review
  • User says "no" to suggestion: Fall through to next detection level
  • Explicit argument overrides everything: /review monthly runs monthly review even on a Tuesday morning

Integration

Works with:

  • /daily — Morning, midday, and evening routines
  • /weekly — Full weekly review process
  • /monthly — Monthly review and planning
  • Session init hook — Staleness data already calculated
