FAQPage Schema
How do I automate engineering retrospectives from git commit history?

Engineering retrospectives analyze git commit history, work patterns, and code quality metrics to provide actionable insights. This Skill automates data gathering, calculates metrics like commits, PRs, LOC, and test ratios, and outputs a narrative report tracking week-over-week trends.

What engineering metrics can I calculate from git commits for a weekly retrospective?

From git commits, you can calculate commits, PRs, LOC added and deleted, test ratio, active days, sessions, and focus score. This Skill computes these engineering metrics to provide a weekly pulse on productivity and identify areas for improvement.

Can I compare week-over-week engineering productivity trends using git data?

Yes, you can compare week-over-week engineering productivity trends by saving historical retrospective data. This Skill tracks trends by comparing current metrics against previous retrospectives, supporting various time windows and comparison modes to identify focus shifts.

Do I need any external dependencies to generate a git commit analysis retrospective?

No external dependencies are required to generate a git commit analysis retrospective. This Skill operates independently using built-in scripts and references to fetch commit history, analyze work patterns, and calculate code quality metrics without additional setup.

What is the best way to track code quality and test ratios across development sessions?

Tracking code quality and test ratios across development sessions requires calculating test versus total LOC and analyzing commit timestamps. This Skill automates this process by fetching frequently changed files, deriving test ratios, and performing session analysis to output a comprehensive report.
