year-in-review
Run an honest personal year-in-review and set next year's direction — wins, misses, an energy audit, and one theme, not a resolution list that dies in February. Use when asked for a personal year in review, a yearly reflection, to reflect on the past year, or plan next year. Produces the structured retrospective (what worked, what didn't, what you learned), an energy audit of what gave vs. drained you, the honest misses, and a single theme with a few concrete commitments. Personal, not corporate.

# Year in Review The problem with New Year's resolutions is they're a wish-list with no diagnosis — so they fail. This runs the review a good operator runs on a project, pointed at your year: what actually happened (not the highlight reel), where your energy went, what you'd repeat and stop, and a single organising theme that makes next year's dozens of small choices easier. One theme beats twelve resolutions. ## What This Skill Produces - **The retrospective** — the year in the domains that matter to you (work, health, relationships, money, growth), honestly - **The energy audit** — what consistently gave energy vs. drained it (the most useful and most skipped part) - **The misses** — what didn't happen and the real reason, without self-flagellation - **Next year's theme** — one organising word/phrase, plus 3–5 concrete commitments tied to it ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The raw material** — highs, lows, big changes, and anything you're proud of or avoiding (a brain-dump is fine) - **The domains you care about** — so the review reflects your life, not a generic template - **How last year's goals went** — if you set any (be honest about the gap) - **Constra

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill year-in-review --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
