SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The retro skill reduces the manual effort of compiling weekly team retrospectives by automatically aggregating session logs, changelogs, commit history, agent notes, and validation records into a structured report so leadership can quickly assess progress and blockers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated aggregation: Collects data from SESSION_LOG, CHANGELOG, VALIDATION_LOG, docs/agent-notes, and recent git commits to produce a single retrospective document.
  • Per-agent metrics & health: Generates per-agent tasks completed, blockers, bugs found/fixed, and flags idle or blocked agents.
  • Shipping & test analytics: Summarizes features shipped, commit counts, LOC changes, test additions, pass rates, and shipping streaks.
  • Actionable recommendations: Identifies carry-over items, suggested priorities for next week, and PD decision load to help reduce bottlenecks.

Quick Start

Run the retro skill to generate this week's retrospective and save the full report to docs/retros/retro-[date].md while posting a one-line summary to Slack.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate weekly team retrospectives from git commits and session logs?

Automated weekly team retrospectives combine git commits, session logs, changelogs, and validation records into a structured markdown report. The aggregated document provides per-agent performance breakdowns, shipping streaks, and blocker analysis for weekly planning.

What is a team-aware retrospective and how does it work with agent notes?

A team-aware retrospective ingests docs/agent-notes and communication history to evaluate per-agent tasks, bugs found, and idle or blocked statuses. It processes this data to generate actionable recommendations and identify carry-over items for leadership.

Can I generate per-agent performance metrics from changelogs and Slack exports?

Per-agent performance metrics can be generated by aggregating changelogs, validation logs, and Slack exports. The process calculates individual tasks completed, blockers, and test pass rates, flagging any idle or blocked agents for review.

Does this retrospective approach work with Jira exports and validation logs?

This retrospective approach works with Jira exports and validation logs by consuming them alongside git commit history and session logs. It outputs a full markdown report to docs/retros and posts a short summary to Slack.

What's the best way to track shipping streaks and test health metrics for an engineering squad?

Tracking shipping streaks and test health metrics is done by summarizing features shipped, commit counts, LOC changes, and test additions from recent git commits. The resulting analytics highlight pass rates and identify PD decision load bottlenecks.
