FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a retrospective analysis using git log data?

Automating a retrospective with git log data involves collecting commit history and closed-issue records to identify systemic patterns. This skill analyzes spans of work to generate actionable improvement issues automatically.

What is the best way to identify systemic improvement issues from closed tickets?

Identifying systemic issues from closed tickets requires pattern analysis across work spans. By analyzing closed-issue data and git history, this skill highlights recurring problems and converts findings into actionable improvement tickets.

How do I run a comprehensive retrospective for a two-week work span?

Running a retrospective for a two-week span requires gathering git log and closed-issue data from that period. The skill processes this timeframe to generate a comprehensive report identifying work patterns and improvement areas.

Do I need post-mortem analysis tools to generate retrospective reports?

Generating retrospective reports requires a post-mortem tool for pattern analysis. This skill delegates pattern identification to ce:post-mortem and uses beads to create actionable improvement issues from the findings.

Can I convert retrospective findings directly into actionable tickets?

Converting retrospective findings into actionable tickets is supported by integrating with beads for issue creation. The skill takes identified patterns from git log and closed-issue analysis and outputs structured improvement issues.

What are the limitations of using git log for work pattern analysis?

Using git log for work pattern analysis limits retrospectives to development activity captured in commits. It requires corresponding closed-issue data from beads to provide a comprehensive view of systemic problems across multiple tasks.
