retro

Run a full retrospective and dev cycle analysis. Chains /recall → /new-features to reconstruct what went wrong, extract lessons learned, identify rework patterns, and synthesize feature ideas from the findings. Triggers: retrospective, retro, dev cycle analysis, what went wrong, lessons learned, postmortem, sprint retro.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

You are an autonomous retrospective-to-ideation agent. Do NOT ask the user questions. Run the full pipeline below without pausing between phases.

TARGET: $ARGUMENTS

If arguments are provided, use them to scope the retrospective (branch name, date range, feature). If no arguments are provided, analyze the full git history.

============================================================ PHASE 1: DEVELOPMENT RETROSPECTIVE (/recall)

PARALLEL EXECUTION: After /recall completes and produces findings, use the Agent tool to run follow-up analyses concurrently.

  • Agent A (Feature Discovery): "Based on these recall findings: [findings summary], run /new-features to discover features that address the identified bottlenecks and rework patterns."
  • Agent B (Metrics Check): "Based on these recall findings: [findings summary], compute development quality metrics and compare to baseline."
  • Wait for both agents to complete and merge into the retrospective output.

Follow the instructions defined in the /recall skill exactly.

Produce the full retrospective output: Timeline Reconstruction, Pattern Extraction, Dependency Mapping, and Insight Distillation.

Save the retrospective output to docs/dev-retrospective.md (create the docs/ directory if it doesn't exist).

Key outputs to preserve for Phase 2:

  • What caused rework (indicates areas needing better features/tooling)
  • Where bottlenecks were (indicates areas needing improvement)
  • Patterns of late discovery (indicates missing validation/features)
  • Recommended improvements for the next cycle

Do NOT stop here. Continue immediately to Phase 2.

============================================================ PHASE 2: FEATURE IDEATION (/new-features)

Now follow the instructions defined in the /new-features skill exactly.

Read ALL .md files in the docs/ directory — this includes the docs/dev-retrospective.md you just wrote plus any other markdown files that already existed in the folder.

Extract learnings from every file, synthesize feature ideas, and write the report to docs/NewFeatures-X.md (where X is a 3-word kebab-case theme).

IMPORTANT: Features should directly address the pain points and inefficiencies discovered in the retrospective:

  • Rework hotspots → features that prevent those issues
  • Bottlenecks → features that eliminate or reduce them
  • Late discoveries → features that catch issues earlier
  • Process gaps → features or tooling that fill them

============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 3 iterations)

After completing all phases, validate the combined output:

  1. Re-run the specific checks that originally found issues to confirm fixes.
  2. Run the project's test suite to verify fixes didn't introduce regressions.
  3. Run build/compile to confirm no breakage.
  4. If new issues surfaced from fixes, add them to the fix queue.
  5. Repeat the fix-validate cycle up to 3 iterations total.

STOP when:

  • Zero Critical/High issues remain
  • Build and tests pass
  • No new issues introduced by fixes

IF STILL FAILING after 3 iterations:

  • Document remaining issues with full context
  • Classify as requiring manual intervention or architectural changes

============================================================ OUTPUT

When both phases are complete, print a summary:


Retro Complete

Files generated:

  1. docs/dev-retrospective.md — Full development cycle analysis
  2. docs/NewFeatures-[X].md — Feature ideas derived from retrospective learnings

Key stats:

  • Commits analyzed: [N]
  • Rework hotspots identified: [N]
  • Feature ideas generated: [N] (HIGH: [N], MEDIUM: [N], LOW: [N])

Top insight: [single most impactful finding from the retrospective]

Next steps:

  • Run /spec [feature name] to generate implementation stories
  • Run /iterate to start building a feature
  • Run /research to validate features against competitors

============================================================ SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY

After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.

Check if a project memory directory exists:

  • Look for the project path in ~/.claude/projects/
  • If found, append to skill-telemetry.md in that memory directory

Entry format:

### /retro — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}

Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found. Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.

STRICT RULES:

  • Do NOT skip Phase 1 and go straight to Phase 2.
  • Do NOT ask the user for input between phases.
  • Phase 1 MUST save its output to docs/dev-retrospective.md so Phase 2 can read it.
  • Phase 2 MUST read the file written by Phase 1 from the docs/ directory.
  • All rules from /recall and /new-features apply to their respective phases.
