SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Daily plans made in the morning often evaporate without review, leaving project state stale and no data on what actually works. This Skill closes the loop by grading the day's plan against its success criteria, updating the project catalog, capturing a journalling interview, and feeding adjustments back into future morning planning. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plan grading against criteria: Reviews each major and minor task from the daily note, marking done/partial/skipped and checking whether success criteria were actually met. - Project catalog sync: Updates every touched project's current state, next action, blockers, and log via the project-tracker skill, including marking completed projects. - Adaptive journalling interview: Asks 3-5 tailored questions about energy, focus, friction, and mood, capturing the user's own phrasing as prose. - Trend analysis and adjustments: Compares today's completion metrics against a 7-day rolling baseline, surfaces stable patterns, and logs persistent planning adjustments that morning-routine will consult. - Use Case: After a coding day where you finished 2 of 3 majors, say "evening retro" and the Skill grades the plan, updates the auth-migration project, interviews you about the afternoon energy dip, and writes a tagged snapshot to your wiki's retros folder. ## Quick Start Say "evening retro" or "wrap up the day" and the Skill will grade today's plan, sync your projects, run a short journalling interview, and save a structured retro snapshot to your wiki.

Frequently Asked Questions about evening-retro

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an end-of-day review of my daily plan?

Say "evening retro", "wrap up the day", or "close out the day". The Skill reads today's daily note, grades each major and minor against its success criteria, syncs touched projects, runs a short journalling interview, and writes a retro snapshot to your wiki.

What happens if I skipped morning planning and have no daily note?

The Skill detects the missing daily note and offers a journal-only mode that skips plan grading. It runs the journalling interview and writes a snapshot with completion metrics marked n/a, without proposing trend-based adjustments for the one-off day.

How does the retro connect to morning planning?

Adjustments you approve are appended to a planning-adjustments.md log with trigger conditions and review dates. The morning-routine skill reads the active section of that file and applies relevant adjustments when proposing the next day's plan.

Can the retro mark a project as completed?

Yes. When a finished major appears to be a project's last step, the Skill prompts you to confirm completion and routes the status change through the project-tracker skill, which handles the file update and index mirror.

What happens if I run the retro twice in one evening?

The Skill is idempotent: if a snapshot for the date already exists, it appends a second timestamped retro section instead of overwriting. Journal content from the first run is never lost.

When does the retro surface productivity patterns?

Patterns are surfaced only when stable across at least three data points or one very strong signal, using the last 7 retro snapshots as a baseline. A single bad day is treated as noise, not a trend, and completion rates are reported factually without judgement.
