SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Weekly engineering retrospectives often stall in manual note-taking and fragmented feedback. This Skill analyzes commit history, team contributions, and process signals to produce a coherent, actionable weekly retrospective with praise and growth opportunities, plus a persistent history for trend tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyzes git history to identify team-wide and per-person contributions, highlights growth areas, and surfaces praise.
  • Tracks trends over time with persistent history to inform sprint planning and process improvements.
  • Generates context-aware prompts and structured guidance to facilitate retrospectives in engineering teams.

Quick Start

Run the retro for the past 7 days to generate a team-facing summary with per-person praise, growth opportunities, and trend insights.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate engineering retrospectives from git commit history?

You can automate engineering retrospectives by analyzing git commit history to surface actionable insights, per-person contributions, and growth areas. This Skill processes repository commits to generate structured metrics and narrative guidance for sprint planning.

What is an automated weekly sprint retrospective and how does it work?

An automated weekly sprint retrospective analyzes git history and team performance signals to produce coherent, actionable summaries. It identifies per-person praise, growth opportunities, and trend analyses, replacing manual note-taking with structured metrics and persistent history tracking.

Can I track team performance metrics and trends over time for sprint reviews?

Yes, you can track team performance metrics and trends over time using persistent history generated from weekly git activity analysis. This enables milestone reviews and ongoing process improvements by storing trend data that informs future sprint planning and retrospective guidance.

Do I need a running gstack retro workflow to generate retrospective insights?

Yes, a running gstack retro workflow and access to the repository's git history are required to generate retrospective insights. The Skill depends on these to analyze commit history and output structured metrics, per-person contributions, and narrative guidance.

What's the best way to surface per-person contributions and growth areas from commit history?

The best way to surface per-person contributions and growth areas from commit history is to run an automated retrospective analysis over a defined period like 7 days. This generates a team-facing summary with individual praise, growth opportunities, and trend insights based on actual commit activity.

When should I not use an automated retrospective tool for engineering teams?

You should not use an automated retrospective tool when your repository lacks sufficient git history, when no gstack retro workflow is configured, or when team contributions happen outside the commit stream. The analysis depends entirely on commit data and process signals to generate accurate insights.
