SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Coordinates a repeatable RETRO-driven workflow to perform retrospective formalization of Lean 4 projects, enabling consistent governance, cross-skill alignment, and documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RETRO protocol execution for Refactor-Extract-Test-Refine-Optimize across project scales (Solo to Large)
  • Cross-skill orchestration with related SKILLs (LEAN enforcement, zettelkasten, doc feedback, review council)
  • Embedded RALPH loop and per-phase governance templates with references to the lean-retro-methodology-handbook

Quick Start

Start a corpus retrospective session using the RETRO protocol with Lean 4 project alignment.

FAQPage Schema
What is retrospective formalization for Lean 4 projects?

Retrospective formalization applies a structured workflow to existing Lean 4 codebases using the RETRO protocol, which systematically refactors, extracts, tests, refines, and optimizes code for consistency and documentation.

How do I run a RETRO protocol session on a Lean 4 codebase?

Start a corpus retrospective session using the RETRO protocol to align Lean 4 projects, executing the Refactor-Extract-Test-Refine-Optimize phases with governance templates and embedded loops for consistent formalization.

Can I apply this retrospective formalization workflow to large-scale codebases?

Yes, the RETRO protocol scales across solo to large-scale Lean 4 codebases, providing per-phase governance templates and cross-skill orchestration to manage formalization and alignment effectively.

How does cross-skill alignment work during Lean 4 formalization?

Cross-skill alignment orchestrates related workflows like Lean enforcement, zettelkasten, documentation feedback, and review councils using a routing contract and handoffs to ensure consistent governance across projects.

What is the RALPH loop in the context of Lean project formalization?

The RALPH loop is an embedded iteration mechanism within the RETRO protocol that drives continuous refinement and optimization during the retrospective formalization of Lean 4 projects.

Do I need specific dependencies to use this Lean 4 RETRO workflow?

No specific dependencies are required to run the workflow, but it references a methodology handbook and integrates with related skills like Lean enforcement and zettelkasten for full cross-skill orchestration.
