SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the lack of closure and meta-analysis at the end of a coding session, helping you understand what actually happened beyond just the code changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reflective Retrospectives: Synthesizes session outcomes, subagent performance, and unexpected discoveries into a human-readable summary.
  • Calibration & Improvement: Surfaces meta-data like orchestration quality and timing to help you calibrate future agent behavior.
  • Actionable Follow-ups: Identifies potential bugs, memories, or plan updates as candidates for you to approve, ensuring you maintain control over state changes.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to summarise the session to generate a retrospective of the work just completed.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a retrospective for a coding session?

To generate a retrospective for a coding session, the skill synthesizes session metadata and performance metrics into a human-readable summary. It operates at the conclusion of development phases or debugging sessions to document outcomes.

What is session orchestration quality and how is it analyzed?

Session orchestration quality is analyzed by surfacing metadata like timing and subagent task performance to calibrate future agent behavior. The skill evaluates orchestration quality without fabricating data.

Can I use session summaries to identify potential bugs and plan updates?

Yes, you can use session summaries to identify potential bugs, memories, or plan updates as actionable follow-ups. The skill surfaces these candidates for you to approve, maintaining your control over state changes.

Do I need subagent task logs to generate a development retrospective?

Yes, you need access to session history and subagent task logs to generate an accurate development retrospective. The skill requires this evidence-based data to provide insights without fabricating information.

When should I run a session retrospective analysis?

You should run a session retrospective analysis at the conclusion of development phases or debugging sessions. It provides meta-analysis to help you understand what happened beyond the code changes.
