SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams run a blame-free post-epic retrospective that turns completed delivery into concrete lessons learned and actionable preparation for the next epic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Epic selection and validation: Detects the most recently completed epic using sprint-status, with fallbacks when status tracking is incomplete.
  • Structured facilitation outputs: Produces a two-part retrospective (Epic Review + Next Epic Preparation) with clear sections for insights and action items.
  • Continuity and learning loops: Loads the previous epic retrospective when available, cross-references commitments vs follow-through, and synthesizes system-level learnings from story records.
  • Team-grounded discussion guidance: Enforces party-mode dialogue formatting, role coverage, psychological safety, and system-focused reasoning.

Quick Start

Use the skill when you want to run a retrospective for the epic you just finished, and ask it to follow the workflow in workflow.md using your configured languages and inputs.
