SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Weekly engineering retrospectives can be time-consuming when you need to synthesize commit history, work patterns, and code quality trends. This skill automates analysis and surfaces per-person contributions with praise and growth areas, enabling proactive improvement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyzes commit history, work patterns, and code quality with persistent history and trend tracking.
  • Breaks down per-person contributions with praise and growth areas.
  • Proactively suggests at the end of a work week or sprint and surfaces actionable insights.

Quick Start

Ask Claude for the weekly retro by saying 'weekly retro' to generate the analysis.

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

You can automate weekly engineering retrospectives by prompting 'weekly retro' to analyze commit history, work patterns, and code quality signals. The skill reads repository data to compute per-person contributions, trends, and growth areas without manual synthesis.

What metrics are included in a team-aware engineering retrospective?

A team-aware engineering retrospective includes per-person contributions, commit history trends, work patterns, and code quality metrics. These signals are tracked persistently to surface praise and growth areas for proactive team improvement.

How do I generate per-person contribution insights for a sprint?

Generating per-person contribution insights for a sprint requires reading repository commit history and code quality data. The skill processes these work patterns to break down individual contributions and highlight specific growth areas.

Do I need the gstack runtime to run engineering trend analysis?

Yes, you need the gstack runtime to run engineering trend analysis. The skill requires this runtime alongside Bash, Read, Write, Glob, and AskUserQuestion tools to read repository data and compute metrics for actionable insights.

Can I track code quality trends and engineering growth areas over time?

Yes, you can track code quality trends and engineering growth areas over time using persistent history tracking. The skill stores retrospective data across weekly sprints and project cycles to establish trend baselines for proactive improvement.

What are the limitations of using commit history for retrospective analysis?

Using commit history for retrospective analysis is limited to quantifiable work patterns and code quality signals. It requires repository data access via Bash and Glob tools and cannot capture qualitative team dynamics outside of commit metadata.
