SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill analyzes completed AI‑factory sessions to uncover inefficiencies, quality gaps, and knowledge deficits, turning raw artifacts into concrete improvement actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact Mining: Reads state.json, session logs, GOAL.md, and other artifacts to build a comprehensive picture of what happened.
  • Pattern Detection: Identifies efficiency bottlenecks, quality issues, knowledge gaps, and process omissions across agents.
  • Actionable Proposals: Generates concrete suggestions for new skills, agent‑prompt tweaks, and AGENTS.md updates, and records them in SGAI_NOTES.md.
  • Use Case: After a workflow finishes, run this skill to automatically produce a retrospective report that guides future sessions toward higher speed and reliability.

Quick Start

Run the retrospective skill immediately after a session ends to receive improvement suggestions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze completed AI factory sessions for inefficiencies and quality gaps?

You can analyze completed AI factory sessions by mining artifacts like state.json, session logs, and GOAL.md to detect efficiency bottlenecks and generate concrete improvement proposals in SGAI_NOTES.md.

What is the best way to turn raw workflow artifacts into actionable improvement plans?

Turning raw workflow artifacts into improvement plans involves detecting process omissions and knowledge gaps across agents, then recording structured observations and prompt tweak suggestions in SGAI_NOTES.md.

When do I need to run a retrospective on my AI agent workflow?

You need to run a retrospective immediately after a workflow finishes to automatically produce a report that identifies quality issues and guides future sessions toward higher speed and reliability.

Can I use this retrospective analysis to generate suggestions for new skills and AGENTS.md updates?

Yes, retrospective analysis can generate concrete suggestions for new skills, agent-prompt tweaks, and AGENTS.md updates by building a comprehensive picture of what happened during the session from its artifacts.

Do I need state.json and session logs to perform a post-completion workflow analysis?

Yes, performing post-completion workflow analysis requires reading state.json and session logs to identify efficiency bottlenecks, quality issues, and process omissions across agents for actionable enhancement proposals.
