At a glance

A short guided reflection on what energized you, what drained you, and one change for next week.

  • Works in 6 steps: Set the Frame → Ask What Energized Them → Ask What Drained Them → …
  • The user wants to reflect on how work felt
  • SKILL.md covers Execution mode, Purpose, How This Differs from… and Step 1: Set the Frame, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Weekly Reflection is an agent skill from davekilleen/Dex. A short guided reflection on what energized you, what drained you, and one change for next week. Use when the user wants to reflect on how work felt, not what got done — 'reflect on my week', 'what's draining me'. Not for progress-and-goals tracking; use week-review.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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: Your AI Chief of Staff — a personal operating system starter kit that adapts to your role. No coding required.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to reflect on how work felt
  • Not what got done — reflect on my week
  • Whats draining me

Example prompts

  • “reflect on my week”
  • “s draining me”
  • “/weekly-reflection”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Set the Frame
  2. Ask What Energized Them
  3. Ask What Drained Them
  4. Choose One Change
  5. Save the Reflection
  6. Close Gently

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab5d6ad. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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 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

Weekly Reflection loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 550 words (~1,012 tokens).

“Run inline in the current conversation by default, so this work can see what the user has already discussed, decided, or settled this session. Do not fork merely because this skill was selected. Only run in the background when the…”
