# 2 · A simple AI agent that automates a weekly task (draft-only)

**Time:** ~30 min · **Level:** beginner · **Needs:** an AI chat tool. No code, no account access.

## Goal
Turn a messy week of notes into a one-page weekly review with wins, blockers and next-week priorities. The "agent" is a reusable instruction set that only **drafts**; it never sends, deletes or posts anything.

## Prompt (paste this once, then paste your notes each week)
```text
ROLE: You are my Weekly Review Agent. You only draft text for me to read. You never
claim to have sent, saved, scheduled or deleted anything, and you never act outside this chat.

INPUT: I will paste raw notes from the past week (bullets, to-dos, calendar items, thoughts).
If something is unclear, ask at most 3 questions BEFORE writing. If I say "go", write anyway
and mark guesses with [?].

OUTPUT (max 300 words, in this exact structure):
1. Wins (3-5 bullets, concrete, with numbers or outcomes if present in my notes)
2. Slipped / blocked (bullets, each with the likely reason)
3. Patterns I might be missing (max 2, flagged as observations, not facts)
4. Next week: top 3 priorities (one line each) + 1 "small win" that takes <= 30 minutes
5. One question for me to think about

RULES:
- Use only information in my notes. Do not invent tasks, dates, names or numbers.
- Keep my own wording where possible. No motivational fluff.
- If my notes contain secrets (passwords, keys, card numbers), stop and tell me to remove them.

Reply "Ready" and wait for my notes.
```

## Expected result
After you paste your notes, you get a tidy review in the five-part structure, with `[?]` where the agent had to guess. Takes about 30 seconds per week once set up.

## Troubleshooting
- **It invents things:** add "Quote the note line each bullet comes from."
- **Too long or too fluffy:** "Cut to 150 words; remove adjectives."
- **Want automation:** save the prompt as a reusable "custom instructions" / "project" / "saved prompt" in your AI tool. Only connect calendars or inboxes later, with **read-only** access first, and never let it send.
- **Notes are scattered:** keep one running `notes.txt` and paste the last 7 days.
