SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing sprint or milestone retrospectives manually requires digging through plans, git logs, and old reports to reconstruct what actually happened, which is time-consuming and often produces vague, data-free summaries. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Plan vs. Actual Analysis: Compares sprint or milestone plans against git history to identify completed, modified, carried-over, and unplanned tasks. - Velocity and Debt Tracking: Computes completion rates, velocity trends across sprints, and TODO/FIXME/HACK counts to show whether technical debt is growing or shrinking. - Action Item Follow-Up: Checks whether previous retrospective action items were addressed and generates owned, deadline-bound action items for the next iteration. - Use Case: After finishing Sprint 7, invoke the skill to produce a structured retrospective with metrics tables, blocker analysis, and estimation accuracy, saved to production/sprints/sprint-7-retrospective.md. ## Quick Start Run the retrospective skill with the argument sprint-7 to generate a data-backed retrospective for the last sprint.

Frequently Asked Questions about retrospective

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a sprint retrospective automatically?▼

Invoke the skill with a sprint argument like sprint-7. It reads the sprint plan from production/sprints/, compares it against git log history, and writes a structured retrospective with metrics, blockers, and action items to production/sprints/sprint-7-retrospective.md.

How to track velocity trends across multiple sprints?▼

The skill builds a velocity trend table by reading previous retrospectives and comparing planned versus completed tasks across recent sprints. It labels the trend as increasing, stable, or decreasing with a one-sentence explanation.

Can I run a retrospective for a milestone instead of a sprint?▼

Yes, pass a milestone name as the argument instead of sprint-N. The skill reads milestone definitions from production/milestones/ and additionally evaluates whether milestone goals were achieved and what that means for the project timeline.

What data does a sprint retrospective need to be useful?▼

A useful retrospective needs the sprint plan with estimated effort, git commit history for the period, TODO/FIXME/HACK counts for technical debt, and prior retrospectives for action item follow-up. The skill gathers all of these automatically.

Why do retrospectives fail to improve team performance?▼

Retrospectives fail when they are vague, lack data, or produce action items without owners and deadlines. This skill enforces specificity by requiring measurable observations, limiting action items to 3-5, and checking whether previous items were completed.
