This Skill structures the retrospective process, turning raw team feedback into themed insights and a short list of actionable, assigned, and measurable improvement items. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multiple Retrospective Formats: Choose from Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls (Liked/Learned/Lacked/Longed For), or Sailboat formats based on team context. - Feedback Clustering: Groups raw feedback (sticky notes, survey responses, Slack messages) into themes and detects sentiment patterns. - Sprint Performance Analysis: Reviews sprint goals, velocity versus commitment, blockers, and collaboration patterns. - Prioritized Action Items: Produces 2-3 specific, assignable, measurable action items with owners, deadlines, and success metrics, plus carry-over tracking from previous retros. - Use Case: After a sprint where the team missed its goal, paste the sprint data and team feedback, and receive a structured retrospective summary with themed insights and follow-up actions. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to facilitate a retrospective for your latest sprint using the provided sprint data and team feedback, and generate a summary with prioritized action items.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a sprint retrospective with structured action items?

Provide your sprint data and team feedback, then select a retrospective format such as Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls, or Sailboat. The output is a summary with themed insights and 2-3 prioritized action items, each with an owner, deadline, and success metric.

What retrospective formats does this skill support?

It supports three formats: Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls (Liked, Learned, Lacked, Longed For), and Sailboat (wind, anchors, rocks, island). You can pick one yourself or let the format be chosen based on context.

Can I use raw team feedback like Slack messages or survey responses?

Yes. Raw feedback such as sticky notes, survey replies, or Slack messages is clustered into themes, ranked by mention frequency, and analyzed for sentiment patterns like frustration or confusion before generating action items.

How many action items should a retrospective produce?

The skill limits output to 2-3 action items because larger lists rarely get completed. Each item must be specific, assignable to an owner, and measurable with a defined success metric.

Does it track action items from previous retrospectives?

Yes. If past retrospective records are provided, previous action items are referenced and checked with a status of Done, In Progress, or Not Started in the carry-over section of the summary.
