FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a weekly engineering retrospective from git history?

To generate a weekly engineering retrospective, the skill summarizes local git history, project artifacts, and metrics to surface team learnings. It outputs structured retrospectives and a narrative summary for planning.

What is a git retrospective and how does it track engineering growth?

A git retrospective analyzes commit history and quality signals to reveal engineering growth. It enables per-person contribution analysis, trend tracking, and action-item generation across sprint cycles.

Do I need a metrics store to run sprint retrospectives on commit history?

You need access to local git history and project artifacts to run retrospectives. An optional metrics store can be integrated to provide additional quality signals for deeper analysis.

What's the best way to analyze per-person contributions for project milestones?

Analyzing per-person contributions for project milestones is best handled by summarizing commit history and timelines. This approach highlights individual patterns and generates concrete action items.

When should I run automated retrospectives for sprint cycles?

You should run automated retrospectives at week end or after reaching project milestones. This timing captures completed work patterns and generates actionable insights for the next planning phase.

Can I use project artifacts alone for trend tracking in engineering retrospectives?

Project artifacts can be used for retrospectives, but combining them with local git history provides a more complete picture. Optional metrics stores add quality signals for comprehensive trend tracking.
