SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It reduces recurring workflow and infrastructure failures by analyzing session errors and audit history, then recording learnings and proposing remediation targets for future prevention.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session analysis & classification: Categorizes observations into tool-pattern, workflow-tactic, error-pattern, and context-issue, then identifies root causes.
  • Deep forensic mode: In deep mode, detects repeated file reads, tool oscillation, error clusters, and tool frequency statistics from full audit logs.
  • Learning capture and infrastructure hardening: Records findings into structured memory topic files, prunes the memory hub, and updates the error catalog via correction detection and deduplication.

Quick Start

Run /wa:retrospective --deep to perform a full audit-log retrospective, record learnings, and propose infrastructure fixes for recurring active error patterns.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze AI session logs to find root causes of workflow errors?

To analyze AI session logs for root causes, classify observations into tool-pattern, workflow-tactic, error-pattern, and context-issue categories. Retrospective analysis extracts correction patterns from audit logs and error archives to identify recurring infrastructure failures.

What is retrospective session analysis and when do I need it for troubleshooting?

Retrospective session analysis is the process of classifying session observations and extracting correction patterns from audit logs. You need it for lifecycle troubleshooting workflows requiring learning capture, deduplication, and pattern detection across tools and execution stages.

How do I detect repeated tool errors and oscillation patterns from audit logs?

Detect repeated tool errors and oscillation patterns by running a deep forensic mode analysis on full audit logs. This deep mode identifies repeated file reads, tool oscillation, error clusters, and calculates tool frequency statistics for comprehensive troubleshooting.

Can I automatically record learning captures and update error catalogs after troubleshooting?

Yes, you can automatically record learning captures and update error catalogs after troubleshooting. The process records findings into structured memory topic files, prunes the memory hub, and updates the error catalog via correction detection and deduplication.

Does retrospective analysis support conditional remediation with user-approved artifact changes?

Yes, retrospective analysis supports conditional remediation with user-approved artifact changes. It applies to lifecycle troubleshooting workflows that propose remediation targets and conditionally apply user-approved artifact changes to fix recurring active error patterns.

What is the best way to prevent recurring infrastructure failures using audit history?

The best way to prevent recurring infrastructure failures using audit history is to perform retrospective analysis, record learnings into structured memory files, and propose remediation targets. This reduces recurring workflow failures by analyzing session errors and audit history.
