See The Pattern You Keep Missing
Describe your week — get the pattern, not a pep talk.
Most AI is a mirror that only flatters — ask it anything about yourself and it agrees with you. This pack is built to do the opposite: every prompt pushes back, quotes your own words back as evidence, and names at least one uncomfortable truth, because accuracy is worth more than agreement. Six tools take a rough description of your week and hand you the pattern, the root cause, and one small change — a why-did-it-go-that-way review, a habit traced to its cue and reward, a 30-day plan that survives a slip, journaling prompts made for what's on your mind, a low-tech tracker you'll actually keep, and feedback that's blunt without being cruel. Being straight about the limit: this is a thinking tool, not a therapist or a doctor. Where what you describe points to real distress, every prompt is built to stop, say so kindly, and point you to a real person or a helpline in your country — India's Tele-MANAS on 14416, Brazil's CVV on 188, the US on 988 — instead of playing counsellor.
What you'll be able to do
Six prompts that turn a plain brain-dump into honest, specific reflection: a weekly review that finds the real 'why', a habit broken down to its trigger and reward, a 30-day plan that survives a bad day, journaling prompts written for your actual situation, a tracker you'll keep, and flat-honest feedback that quotes your own words back.
What's inside
- 01
Review Your Week In 10 Minutes
Claude CoworkDo this at the end of the week — Friday evening or Sunday night. Paste a rough brain-dump of how the week went; it doesn't need to be tidy. You'll get the week reflected back, the one pattern running through it, the real reason for the biggest gap, and a single change for next week.
Example · Input
Long hours, shipped the deck late again, skipped the gym all week, snapped at my partner twice, felt behind the whole time.
Example · Output
A short reflection in your own details, the four After-Action questions answered, a Went Well / Even Better If split, one named pattern with the line that proves it, a 'why' traced back three steps, a values-vs-time flag, and one if-then change to make next week.
Prompt 01Free to readYou're going to run a 10-minute review of my week with me. Reply in the language I write in. HERE'S MY WEEK — paste a brain-dump, messy is fine: [PASTE WHATEVER COMES TO MIND: what happened, what went well, what didn't, how it felt] If I've given you very little to work with, don't guess. Ask me 2-3 specific questions first — what took the most time, what I avoided, where the week went sideways — then carry on. The whole value here is specificity. Work through it in this order. 1. REFLECT IT BACK. In four or five lines, tell me what my week actually was, using my own concrete details and quoting or closely paraphrasing the specifics I gave you. The real events, not a summary of feelings. Use only what I gave you — don't add things that didn't happen. 2. THE FOUR QUESTIONS (After-Action Review). Answer each in a line or two, about the week as a whole: - What did I intend this week to be? - What actually happened? - Why the gap between the two? - What will I do differently? 3. WENT WELL / EVEN BETTER IF. Two short lists. 'Went well' only counts if it's specific and I actually did it — no filler, no participation trophies. 'Even better if' is where the honesty goes. 4. ONE PATTERN. Name a single pattern running through the week — not five. Give it a plain name, then quote the exact line from what I wrote that is your evidence for it. 5. THE REAL WHY. Take the biggest gap between what I intended and what happened, and ask 'why' about three times in a row, each answer feeding the next, until you reach a cause I can actually act on — not 'I was busy'. Show the chain. 6. VALUES vs TIME. If what I say matters to me and where my hours actually went don't line up, say so plainly and point at the mismatch. If they do line up, say that instead — don't invent a problem. GUARDRAILS: - Don't flatter me. No praise unless it's earned and specific, and if you give it, tie it to something I actually did. Surface at least one uncomfortable truth — you're a reviewer, not a cheerleader. When you claim something about me, quote my own words back as the evidence. Accuracy matters more than agreement. - You're a thinking tool, not a therapist or a doctor. If what I describe suggests real distress — that I can't cope, that I'm harming myself, or that I'm thinking about suicide — don't counsel me and don't carry on with the exercise. Say so kindly, in plain words, and point me to a real person I trust or a helpline in my country: India — Tele-MANAS 14416 or KIRAN 1800-599-0019; Brazil — CVV 188; United States — 988. Anywhere else, tell me to search '[my country] suicide helpline' and reach a human today. Then name one thing to repeat next week, and end on exactly one change written as an if-then I can't wriggle out of: 'When [specific trigger], I will [specific action].' Put that if-then last, with nothing after it.

Break Down A Habit You Want Gone
Claude CoworkUse this on one habit you keep meaning to stop — scrolling, late-night snacking, checking your phone the second you wake. Paste the habit, when and where it happens, and how you feel right before it starts. You'll get the real trigger and the reward it's paying you, plus a swap that keeps both.
Example · Input
I scroll Instagram for an hour every night in bed instead of sleeping; I feel wired and a bit lonely right before.
Example · Output
Your most likely cue sorted across the five trigger types, the real reward the habit pays you, a replacement routine on the same cue, one change to your environment, and an if-then plan for the riskiest moment.

Turn One Intention Into A 30-Day Plan
Claude CoworkUse this when you keep saying you'll start something — writing, running, studying — and never do. Paste the goal and why it matters now. You'll get it rebuilt as a plan small enough to survive a bad day, with a rule for what to do when you slip.
Example · Input
I want to start writing again; a friend just published a book and it lit a fire under me.
Example · Output
Your goal as a WOOP (wish, best outcome, the #1 internal obstacle, an if-then plan for it), a daily action so small you can't fail, an anchor onto an existing habit, four weekly checkpoints, and a 'never miss twice' rule.

Journaling Prompts Made For You
Claude CoworkUse this when 'how was your day' does nothing for you. Tell it what's on your mind — or just ask for today's prompts. You'll get real prompts written for your actual situation, in the mode that fits what you brought. It hands you the prompts and the space; it won't grade what you write.
Example · Input
I keep replaying an argument with my mum from Sunday — or just: give me today's prompts.
Example · Output
Three or four tailored prompts in the right mode for what you brought — the raw feeling named first, the 'why' built into any good-things list, a self-distancing balance note, and a reminder that hard things are allowed to stay hard.

Build A Tracker You'll Actually Keep
Claude CoworkUse this for one goal you keep setting and dropping. Paste the goal — usually an outcome like 'lose weight', 'get a raise', or 'read more'. You'll get it split into the weekly behaviours you control, plus a five-line check-in you can keep on paper, in notes, or by messaging yourself on WhatsApp.
Example · Input
I want to lose 8 kg before my sister's wedding in November.
Example · Output
Your outcome separated from 1-3 leading indicators you fully control, a copy-paste 5-line weekly check-in, an ~80%-of-weeks target instead of a streak, and a date 8-12 weeks out to check whether the leading indicators are actually moving the outcome.

Get Honest Feedback, Not Flattery
Claude CoworkUse this when you want a straight answer about yourself and everyone in your life is too polite to give it. Paste the situation or how you'd describe yourself, plus one specific question. You'll get direct, fair observations tied to your own words — roughly 70% challenge, 30% credit where it's earned.
Example · Input
I describe myself as 'blunt but fair' at work. My question: where am I fooling myself?
Example · Output
Two or three uncomfortable-but-fair observations each tied to a line you wrote, a pattern-vs-one-off call, the strongest case against your own framing (steelman or pre-mortem), and one concrete change plus one real strength — only if you've earned it.
