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

A weekly engineering retrospective analyzes commit history and code-quality signals to surface team contributions, hotspots, and historical trends. It computes metrics such as per-author leaderboards, focus scores, and backlog health to guide continuous improvement.

Can I run an engineering retrospective across multiple repositories or custom time windows?

Yes, engineering retrospectives support cross-project contexts and custom time windows beyond the default last 7 days. You can generate global comparisons and trend analysis across multiple repositories to evaluate team metrics over specific retrospective periods.

What team metrics are included in a git analytics retrospective?

A git analytics retrospective includes per-author contributions, commit counts, lines of code, focus scores, ship-of-the-week, hotspot analysis, and backlog health. These metrics populate an intuitive leaderboard to highlight individual and team activity for the period.

Does the engineering retrospective require any external dependencies to analyze code-quality signals?

No external dependencies are required to analyze code-quality signals for the engineering retrospective. The skill operates independently to evaluate commit history, team participation, and test health directly from the repository context without additional setup.

How do I identify growth areas and praise opportunities from developer contribution metrics?

To identify growth areas and praise opportunities, the retrospective evaluates per-person contributions against team activity and code-quality signals. It surfaces actionable summaries that highlight specific praise and targeted growth areas for each developer automatically.
