SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Team retrospectives often produce unstructured feedback that never turns into concrete improvements, leaving teams repeating the same mistakes sprint after sprint. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Retro Board Generation: Create structured retro boards for 4Ls, Start-Stop-Continue, and Sailboat formats with seed prompts, facilitation tips, and time allocations. - Notes Synthesis: Cluster raw retro notes into ranked themes with root-cause hypotheses and a maximum of five assigned, dated action items. - Pattern Tracking: Flag recurring, new, and resolved themes across retros and produce a team health signal. - Use Case: After a sprint, paste your team's raw sticky-note feedback and receive grouped themes, prioritized action items with owners and deadlines, and a summary of whether team health is trending up or down. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to synthesize your pasted retro notes into themes and action items, or request a retro board for a specific format like Sailboat.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a team retrospective with the 4Ls format?

Request a retro board for the 4Ls format to get sections for Loved, Learned, Lacked, and Longed For, each with seed prompts and facilitation tips. The board includes a 60-minute time allocation covering check-in, writing, discussion, and action items.

How to turn retro notes into action items?

Paste your raw retro notes, bullet points, or sticky-note feedback and the synthesis mode clusters them into ranked themes with root-cause hypotheses. Each theme gets specific action items with an owner and due date, capped at five actions.

What retrospective formats are supported?

Three formats are supported: 4Ls (Loved, Learned, Lacked, Longed For), Start-Stop-Continue, and Sailboat (wind, anchor, rocks, island). Each format generates a board with section descriptions, seed prompts, and facilitation guidance.

What happens if my retro notes are too sparse to synthesize?

If fewer than five feedback items are provided, the skill reports that synthesis is not meaningful and suggests the team needs more psychological safety for honest feedback. It will not fabricate themes from insufficient input.

Can it track recurring themes across multiple retros?

Yes, when prior retro context is available, the synthesis flags recurring themes whose previous actions may have failed, new themes worth investigating, and resolved themes where actions worked. It also outputs a one-sentence team health signal.
