SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the challenge of conducting inconsistent or emotionally charged post-epic reviews by providing a structured, data-backed framework that focuses on systemic improvement rather than individual blame.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Epic Discovery: Intelligently identifies completed epics by analyzing sprint status and file artifacts.
  • Pattern Recognition: Synthesizes dev notes, review feedback, and velocity trends across multiple stories to surface actionable insights.
  • Continuity Tracking: Automatically cross-references previous retrospective action items to ensure team commitments are honored and lessons are applied.

Quick Start

Initiate the retrospective process by telling the assistant to run a retrospective for the most recently completed epic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a structured post-epic retrospective using sprint data?▼

Run a structured post-epic retrospective by synthesizing development logs, sprint status, and historical project data. The process identifies systemic bottlenecks, tracks technical debt, and measures velocity improvements to generate objective, action-oriented team reviews.

What is the best way to track technical debt and systemic bottlenecks after an epic?▼

Track technical debt and systemic bottlenecks by synthesizing dev notes, review feedback, and velocity trends across multiple stories. This pattern recognition approach surfaces actionable insights for continuous team improvement.

Can I automate epic discovery for agile retrospectives from project artifacts?▼

Automate epic discovery by intelligently analyzing sprint status files and file artifacts. The retrospective process automatically identifies completed epics to initiate data-driven, blame-free team reviews.

How do you ensure continuity of action items across multiple sprint retrospectives?▼

Ensure continuity of action items by automatically cross-referencing previous retrospective commitments. Continuity tracking verifies that team lessons are applied and honored throughout the software development lifecycle.

Do I need specific planning artifacts to generate a data-driven post-mortem?▼

You need access to project planning artifacts and sprint status files to generate a data-driven post-mortem. These inputs provide the objective development logs and historical project data required for accurate analysis.

Why does my agile retrospective become emotionally charged instead of focusing on improvement?▼

Agile retrospectives become emotionally charged without a structured, data-backed framework. By synthesizing development logs and velocity trends, the process shifts focus to systemic improvement rather than individual blame.
