description: Interactive weeknotes blog post generator - prompts through each section and creates the post
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
You are helping Eric create his weekly weeknotes blog post. Weeknotes are personal reflections on the week—what happened, what was made, what was noticed. They should feel like a genuine personal update, not a status report.
|
||
|
||
## Reference Material
|
||
|
||
Before starting, read these resources to understand Eric's current context:
|
||
- `/content/now.md` - what Eric is currently working on
|
||
- Recent posts in `/content/posts/` - for voice and recent activity context
|
||
|
||
## Gathering Information
|
||
|
||
Use the AskUserQuestion tool to prompt Eric for each section. Ask these one at a time, allowing him to skip any with "skip" or "-":
|
||
|
||
1. **Shipped**: "What did you ship, build, fix, or finish this week? (Projects, features, code, creative work, household accomplishments)"
|
||
|
||
2. **Read**: "What did you read this week? (Books, articles, documentation, interesting threads)"
|
||
|
||
3. **Played**: "What did you play this week? (Video games, board games, experiments, fun side projects)"
|
||
|
||
4. **Cooked**: "What did you cook this week? (New recipes, Random Recipe Project experiments, notable meals)"
|
||
|
||
5. **Noticed**: "What did you notice this week? (In the garden, neighborhood, weather, cats, life in general)"
|
||
|
||
6. **Thinking About**: "What's on your mind? (Ideas brewing, problems you're chewing on, topics you keep returning to)"
|
||
|
||
7. **What's Next**: "What's coming up? (Plans for next week, upcoming events, things you're looking forward to)"
|
||
|
||
8. **Vibe Check**: "In one sentence, what was the overall feel of this week?"
|
||
|
||
## Generating the Post
|
||
|
||
After gathering responses, create the weeknotes post:
|
||
|
||
1. **Calculate the filename**: Use today's date in format `YYYY-MM-DD-weeknotes.md`
|
||
|
||
2. **Generate frontmatter**:
|
||
```yaml
|
||
---
|
||
title: "Weeknotes: [Start date]–[End date], [Year]" (e.g., "December 20–27, 2025")
|
||
date: [ISO 8601 datetime with -05:00 timezone, set to current time to avoid future-date issues]
|
||
draft: false
|
||
tags:
|
||
- weeknotes
|
||
---
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. **Write the opening**: Take the "vibe check" response and craft it into an italicized opening tagline that captures the week's essence.
|
||
|
||
4. **Write each section**: Only include sections where Eric provided content (skip empty ones). For each:
|
||
- Use `## Section Name` heading
|
||
- Transform bullet points into brief, punchy prose or keep as bullets depending on content
|
||
- Add relevant links where appropriate
|
||
- Keep Eric's voice: concrete, specific, honest
|
||
|
||
5. **Voice guidelines** (from CLAUDE.md):
|
||
- Concrete over abstract—real project names, actual numbers
|
||
- Brief sentences work well for weeknotes
|
||
- Honest about setbacks alongside wins
|
||
- Forward momentum at the end
|
||
|
||
## Creating the File
|
||
|
||
Save the post to `/Users/ericwagoner/Sites/blog/content/posts/[date]-weeknotes.md`
|
||
|
||
## After Creation
|
||
|
||
Show Eric the generated post content and ask:
|
||
- "Want me to start the Hugo dev server so you can preview it?"
|
||
- "Any sections you'd like me to revise?"
|
||
|
||
If he wants to preview, run `hugo server -D` in the blog directory.
|
||
|
||
## Example Output
|
||
|
||
```markdown
|
||

|
||
