What problem does it solve?
Manually compiling weekly engineering retrospectives is time-consuming, often lacks historical trend context, and makes it hard to deliver fair, consistent per-person contribution feedback. This skill automates the entire process by pulling commit history, work patterns, and code quality metrics to deliver data-driven retros without manual data gathering.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Commit & Work Analysis: Pulls git commit history to identify shipped work, bottlenecks, and code quality trends across the sprint or week.
- Team-Aware Contribution Breakdowns: Generates per-person contribution summaries with praise for strengths and clear growth areas, eliminating bias from manual recall.
- Persistent Trend Tracking: Stores retro history to compare progress across sprints, helping teams spot recurring issues and measure improvement over time.
Use Case: For a 6-person engineering team running 2-week sprints, use this skill at the end of each sprint to automatically generate a retro that highlights key shipped features, identifies common blockers, and gives each team member actionable feedback, cutting retro prep time from 3 hours to 10 minutes.
Quick Start
Use the retro skill to generate a weekly engineering retrospective for the current sprint, including per-person contribution breakdowns and trend analysis from past retros.
