SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It standardizes how each sprint agent documents their retro interview right before shutdown, ensuring the team-lead has consistent, complete coverage to generate session reports.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Role-specific retro interviews: Agents answer 3 common questions plus 3 questions tailored to their role (implementer, reviewer/qa-validator, process-engineer, team-lead, or other).
  • Deterministic output placement: Creates and writes the interview file to the required path under analysis-reports/retro-session/<YYYY-MM-DD>+<sprint-name>/interviews/.
  • Readiness confirmation loop: Produces the required reply to team-lead so shutdown can proceed and later coverage can be verified.

Quick Start

When you receive the message “Shutdown imminent,” use the role-specific 6-question interview prompts to write your interview to analysis-reports/retro-session/<YYYY-MM-DD>+<sprint-name>/interviews/<your-role>.md and then reply “Ready to shut down.”

Frequently Asked Questions about interviews

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize sprint retro interviews before agent shutdown?

To standardize sprint retro interviews, use a role-specific six-question prompt set that generates three common answers and three role-tailored answers, ensuring complete lessons-learned documentation before agent shutdown.

What is the required file path for saving markdown retro interview reports?

The required file path for markdown retro interview reports is `analysis-reports/retro-session/<YYYY-MM-DD>+<sprint-name>/interviews/<your-role>.md`, ensuring deterministic output placement for later coverage verification.

How does an agent confirm handoff readiness after writing a retro interview?

An agent confirms handoff readiness by replying "Ready to shut down" to the team-lead after successfully writing the markdown interview file, which closes the readiness confirmation loop and allows the shutdown to proceed.

When should I trigger agent self-documentation for a kanban retrospective?

Trigger agent self-documentation for a kanban retrospective when receiving a "Shutdown imminent" message, when manually triggering the process, or when verifying that retro interview coverage exists after a sprint concludes.

Can I use custom interview questions for different sprint agent roles?

Role-specific retro interviews use three common questions plus three tailored questions based on the agent's role, such as implementer, reviewer, qa-validator, process-engineer, or team-lead, ensuring relevant documentation.

What happens if retro interview coverage is missing after a sprint?

If retro interview coverage is missing after a sprint, you can manually trigger self-documentation to verify coverage exists, ensuring the team-lead has the consistent markdown reports needed to generate complete session reports.
