SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Weekly engineering retrospective helps teams understand how their code, workflows, and collaboration patterns impact delivery by turning raw git activity into a cohesive history and actionable insights.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Collects commits, diffs, sessions, and branch activity from origin/main over a configurable window.
  • Computes metrics like LOC, test ratio, hotspot files, PR sizes, and streaks; generates time-series trends and a narrative summary.
  • Stores persistent retros in .context/retros for weekly comparison and long-term tracking.

Quick Start

Run the /retro command to generate this week's engineering retrospective and review the insights.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an engineering retrospective report from git activity?

Generate an engineering retrospective by analyzing git commits, diffs, and branch activity from origin/main over a configurable time window. The process computes code-quality metrics and returns a narrative summary with actionable insights.

What engineering metrics can I track from origin/main over a 7d or 14d window?

Track engineering metrics like LOC, test ratio, hotspot files, PR counts, and session data over 7d, 14d, or 30d windows. Time-series trends reveal fluctuations and anomalies for comparison-based analysis.

Can I compare weekly code-quality trends and git metrics side-by-side?

Compare weekly code-quality trends side-by-side by applying the analysis to different time windows. Persistent retros stored in .context/retros enable long-term tracking of engineering fluctuations and anomalies.

Do I need any external dependencies to summarize commit activity and PR sizes?

No external dependencies are required to summarize commit activity and PR sizes. The analysis runs directly against origin/main, computing metrics like test ratio and hotspot files without additional packages.

What is the best way to identify hotspot files and anomalies in engineering workflows?

Identify hotspot files and anomalies by summarizing weekly engineering activity into a dense, indexable payload. The analysis computes session data and PR sizes, revealing trends and fluctuations in workflows.
