SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Weekly engineering retrospectives help teams understand what happened in the last period, celebrate successes, and identify concrete growth opportunities across individuals and codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Team-aware praise and growth suggestions per contributor based on commit history.
  • Windowed analytics (7d default, 24h/14d/30d, compare mode) with per-author leadership view.
  • Focus on code quality signals, hotspots, test discipline, and shipping velocity.
  • Optional signals such as Greptile history and backlog health when data exists.

Quick Start

Run /retro to generate the weekly engineering retrospective for the default 7-day window.

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

To generate a weekly engineering retrospective, run the analysis against your project's Git history to compute metrics on commits, lines of code, and contributor activity. It produces a structured summary of team praise and growth opportunities for a default 7-day window.

Can I analyze contributor activity for custom time ranges like 24h or 30d?

You can analyze contributor activity for custom time ranges by specifying explicit windows such as 24h, 14d, or 30d. The analysis also supports a compare mode to contrast current contributor metrics and code quality signals with prior periods.

What engineering metrics are included in a codebase retrospective?

A codebase retrospective includes engineering metrics on commit velocity, lines of code, test proxy signals, and code hotspots. It also provides per-author leadership views, highlighting individual contributions alongside specific praise and growth opportunities.

Does the retrospective analysis integrate with Greptile history and backlog status?

The retrospective analysis supports optional signals like Greptile history and backlog status when that data exists. Integrating these optional inputs enriches the structured output, providing deeper context for weekly engineering summaries and dashboards.

How do I compare current engineering metrics with previous periods?

You compare current engineering metrics with previous periods by using the built-in compare mode. This feature contrasts current windowed analytics, such as shipping velocity and test discipline, against prior ranges to highlight team growth and codebase trends.

What is the best way to track team growth opportunities from commit history?

Tracking team growth opportunities from commit history is best handled by analyzing per-author activity and code quality signals. This approach identifies specific areas for individual improvement while generating team-aware praise based on recent Git contributions.
