About
weekly-review is a Cursor plugin skill that builds executive-readable weekly recaps from git history for status updates, retros, and planning. It reads the current git user email, collects authored commits from the last 7-10 days on the primary branch, excludes merge commits, and groups changes into 2-5 concise bullets plus a classification paragraph covering likely bug fixes, tech debt, and net-new work.
