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

A git retrospective analyzes recent commits to surface team highlights, work patterns, and code quality trends. Run the /retro command to summarize engineering activity from the last 7 days, producing a structured narrative and improvement plan.

What is a team-aware retrospective for software engineering?

A team-aware retrospective analyzes git commit history to highlight individual and team-wide engineering contributions. It tracks work patterns, test signals, and code quality trends over time, providing per-person praise and growth suggestions alongside a structured improvement plan.

Can I analyze multiple repositories for a cross-team retrospective?

Yes, you can analyze multiple repositories using Global Retrospective mode. This cross-repo analysis aggregates commits, authors, and backlog indicators across projects, providing a unified narrative and improvement plan for broader engineering teams.

What engineering metrics are included in a git retrospective?

Engineering metrics in a git retrospective include commit activity, author contributions, test signals, and backlog indicators. These metrics are extracted from git history and greptile data to identify code quality trends and team work patterns over time.

Does the retro analysis work without greptile history or TODO data?

The retro analysis works without greptile history or TODO data, but utilizes them when available to enhance the retrospective. Core functionality relies on git commit history to analyze authors, test signals, and code quality trends for the structured narrative.

How do I track engineering trends over time for sprint reviews?

Track engineering trends over time by running weekly retrospectives that persist historical data. This captures commit activity, code quality metrics, and team contributions, enabling trend analysis and providing proactive rhythms and growth suggestions for sprint-end reviews.
