What each one does

Weekly Report Writer

  • Transforms scattered work notes into a structured weekly report with clear sections
  • Highlights outcomes and business impact rather than just listing tasks
  • Surfaces risks and blockers with context about what help you need
  • Organizes your upcoming plans with expected deliverables and deadlines
  • Generates reports in Chinese following professional business communication standards

Obsidian Bases

  • Creates table, card, list, or map views of your notes based on filters you set
  • Lets you group and sort notes by any property (status, date, tags, folders)
  • Calculates fields automatically like days until deadline or price totals
  • Shows summaries like averages, sums, and counts across your filtered notes
  • Works with your existing Obsidian notes without changing how you write them
