SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Regular retrospectives often lack structure and measurable signals. This Skill aggregates a defined window of engineering activity—commits, code quality signals, and contributor behavior—into a coherent narrative that guides improvement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Team-aware insights: identifies per-person contributions with praise and growth areas, enabling focused coaching.
  • Shipping velocity & quality signals: analyzes commit patterns, PR sizes, test activity, and hotspot files to surface risks and opportunities.
  • Narrative + plan: outputs a structured retrospective with sections for focus, workflows, and actionable next steps, ready for discussion or planning.

Quick Start

Invoke /retro in your repository to generate a weekly retrospective (default last 7 days) and view structured insights.

What engineering metrics are included in a repository retrospective?

A repository retrospective includes engineering metrics such as per-person contributions, shipping velocity, commit patterns, PR sizes, test activity, and hotspot files to surface risks and opportunities for team coaching.

Can I analyze cross-project engineering activity instead of a single repository?

Yes, you can analyze cross-project engineering activity by applying the tool to a global view, allowing you to summarize patterns across multiple repositories over a custom time window instead of the default 7-day single repository scope.

How do code quality signals factor into weekly team retrospectives?

Code quality signals factor into weekly team retrospectives by analyzing test activity and hotspot files alongside commit patterns, identifying specific risks and opportunities to highlight praise and growth areas for focused coaching.

Does the retrospective analysis require external analytics data?

The retrospective analysis does not strictly require external analytics data, as it consumes git history and PR data by default, but it can process optional analytics alongside test signals to enrich the structured retrospective report.

What is the default time window for summarizing engineering activity?

The default time window for summarizing engineering activity is 7 days, applying to repository history to generate a weekly retrospective with sections on focus, shipping velocity, and code quality signals.
