What problem does it solve?
Engineering teams waste hours manually compiling weekly retrospective data, pulling commit statistics, tracking individual contributions, and identifying code quality trends from scattered git logs. This skill automates the entire process directly from your repository's git history, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring consistent, data-backed retro discussions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Metric Calculation: Pulls commit counts, lines of code changed, PR merge data, test ratios, session patterns, and contributor breakdowns with zero manual configuration.
- Team-Aware Contribution Analysis: Identifies each team member's work focus areas, highlights top contributions with specific praise anchored in actual commits, and flags actionable growth opportunities.
- Longitudinal Trend Tracking: Saves retro snapshots to a local memory directory to compare week-over-week progress on shipping velocity, code quality, and team habits.
Use case: An engineering lead can run this skill every Monday to generate a full retro of the prior week's work, including who shipped what, code quality signals, and 3 actionable improvements for the team, in seconds instead of hours.
