SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyzes origin/main git history to produce a comprehensive, actionable weekly engineering retrospective that surfaces patterns, wins, and improvement opportunities for the team.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Per-author contributions: break down commits, insertions, deletions, and focus areas.
  • Time and session patterns: identify peak hours, session length distributions, and early/late coding trends.
  • PR and risk signals: assess PR size, test coverage proxies, hotspots, and potential churn.
  • Narrative and governance: generate a concise executive summary and actionable next steps.

Quick Start

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

To generate a weekly engineering retrospective from git history, analyze the origin/main branch log to compute commits, LOC, and PR size. This process parses git logs to produce a structured JSON snapshot and a narrative report surfacing team patterns and wins.

What metrics are included in a git-based engineering retrospective?

A git-based engineering retrospective includes metrics like per-author commits, insertions, deletions, test coverage proxies, PR size, session length distributions, and peak coding hours. These metrics identify focus areas and potential churn across multi-contributor projects.

Can I analyze multi-contributor git logs for per-author focus areas?

Yes, you can analyze multi-contributor git logs to break down per-author focus areas. The retrospective computes individual contributions including commits, insertions, and deletions to identify specific development patterns and focus areas for each contributor.

Does the weekly retro analysis work with Greptile history?

Yes, the weekly retro analysis works with Greptile history. The implementation requires parsing git logs and optionally integrates Greptile history data alongside optional prior retros to deliver comparative analysis and structured JSON snapshots.

How do I compare current engineering metrics against previous retros?

Compare current engineering metrics against previous retros by parsing optional prior retrospective data alongside current git logs. This comparison delivers a comprehensive narrative report highlighting improvement opportunities and tracking team productivity trends over weekly windows.
