SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Weekly engineering retros that analyze commit history, code quality, and team contributions to surface patterns, praise, and growth opportunities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Team-wide retrospective analysis: identifies contributors, hotspots, and focus areas; produces per-author summaries and a ship-of-the-week spotlight.
  • Data-driven insights: calculates commits, LOC, test coverage signals, session patterns, and time-based trends across the current window.
  • Guided narrative: outputs a structured recap and actionable recommendations to improve velocity and quality.

Quick Start

Ask Claude Code to run the weekly engineering retro for the current repository window.

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

You can analyze team contributions by reviewing the per-author leaderboard and contributor activity summaries generated from commit data. The Skill calculates individual commits, insertions, deletions, and test LOC to highlight specific contributor patterns and a ship-of-the-week spotlight.

What metrics are included in a commit analysis for engineering productivity?

Code quality signals such as test LOC, net LOC changes, and PR sizes are calculated directly from the commit history. These signals help identify code quality patterns and focus areas to improve engineering velocity across the repository window.

Can I run a team metrics retrospective for a specific repository window?

No external dependencies are required to use this Skill for engineering retros. It operates directly on your git repository's commit history and contributor activity to compute team metrics and produce the retrospective summary without needing additional components.

How does a git retrospective identify engineering hotspots and focus areas?

The Skill outputs a JSON snapshot containing computed metrics like total commits, net LOC, and active days, alongside a structured narrative recap. This guided narrative includes per-author summaries, a ship-of-the-week spotlight, and actionable recommendations to improve velocity and quality.
