FAQPage Schema
How do I automate postmortem analysis after a development cycle?▼

Automate postmortem analysis by running structured retrospective routing modes like distill to extract learnings or calibrate to fix mid-cycle issues. This turns end-of-session reflections into codified artifacts and coaching notes for future improvement.

What is the best way to coach operators on prompt quality and strategies?▼

Coach operators on prompt quality by applying the retrospective coach routing mode during cycle reviews. This analyzes session history to generate actionable coaching moments targeting vocabulary and strategy improvements for the human operator.

Can I detect context drift and refresh repository tuning mid-cycle?▼

You can detect context drift and refresh repository tuning using the tune-repo routing mode. It applies context refreshes and drift detection across sessions and repos to calibrate harness behavior before continuing the cycle.

How do I distill end-of-session learnings into actionable artifacts?▼

Distill end-of-session learnings into actionable artifacts by invoking the retrospective distill mode. It extracts postmortem insights and codifies them into Markdown reference documents and coaching notes for backlog guidance.

Does structured retrospective analysis support mutating backlogs and branches?▼

Structured retrospective analysis supports mutating backlogs and branches per cycle rules. The cycle routing mode provides outer-loop insights and applies mutations to backlog items and branches based on the retrospective findings.
