retro

Skill1 starsChanged 23 days agoApache-2.0View on GitHub

Use when the user asks what would have prevented a mistake, asks for a retro, a post-mortem, or lessons, or asks how to stop something happening again. Also use when a session ended with a wrong fix, a missed convention, a slow search, or a repeated question, and at the end of a plan workspace before integration.

    plan-tune

    Self-tuning question sensitivity + developer psychographic for gstack (v1: observational). Review which AskUserQuestion prompts fire across gstack skills, set per-question preferences (never-ask / always-ask / ask-only-for-one-way), inspect the dual-track profile (what you declared vs what your behavior suggests), and enable/disable question tuning. Conversational interface — no CLI syntax required.

    pair-agent

    Pair a remote AI agent with your browser. One command generates a setup key and prints instructions the other agent can follow to connect. Works with OpenClaw, Hermes, Codex, Cursor, or any agent that can make HTTP requests. The remote agent gets its own tab with scoped access (read+write by default, admin on request). Use when asked to "pair agent", "connect agent", "share browser", "remote browser", "let another agent use my browser", or "give browser access". (gstack) Voice triggers (speech-to-text aliases): "pair agent", "connect agent", "share my browser", "remote browser access".

    landing-report

    Read-only queue dashboard for workspace-aware ship. Shows which VERSION slots are currently claimed by open PRs, which sibling Conductor workspaces have WIP work likely to ship soon, and what slot /ship would pick next. No mutations — just a snapshot. Use when asked to "landing report", "what's in the queue", "show me open PRs", or "which version do I claim next". (gstack)

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 171 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Every finding cites evidence under the evidence-based-analysis rules.

    line 18
  2. Distinctive:

    Write one finding per friction.

    line 24
  3. Distinctive:

    When two classes fit, pick mechanical.

    line 40
  4. Very specific:

    Never edit product code or tests of product behaviour.

    line 62
  5. Distinctive:

    Never remove an existing check.

    line 65

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 171 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Retro

When to use

  • User asks what would have prevented a mistake
  • User asks for a retro, a post-mortem, or lessons
  • User asks how to stop something happening again
  • A session ended with a wrong fix, a missed convention, a slow search, or a repeated question
  • A plan workspace ends, before integration

Overview

A retro turns one session's friction into a change to the agent's environment. The product is out of scope: the output is a check, a convention, or a pointer. Every finding cites evidence under the evidence-based-analysis rules. A finding without a line to point at is an opinion, not a finding.

Workflow

  1. Gather the friction. Read the transcript, the diff, the test runs, and the user's corrections.
  2. Write one finding per friction. Cite a file:line or quote the line that shows it.
  3. Classify each finding: mechanical, judgement, or navigation.
  4. Propose one check per finding. Name the file it lands in.
  5. Present the table, severity first. Stop and wait for the user.
  6. Apply after approval only. One commit per check, with the git-conventions skill.

Classification

Three classes. Each has one outcome.

ClassThe frictionBecomes
MechanicalA mistake a machine can catchA deterministic check: a lint rule, a test, a hook, a CI job
JudgementA call a human made differentlyA written convention: the project CLAUDE.md, a coding standard, a glossary entry when GLOSSARY.md exists
NavigationTime lost finding somethingA pointer: a line in the docs or the README

When two classes fit, pick mechanical. A check runs on its own; a convention needs a reader.

Not: "be more careful with imports" Yes: "lint rule forbidding relative imports, added to the CI job"

Output

One table, severity first. One row per finding. No praise rows. A session with nothing to fix gets one line, not a table.

ColumnHolds
SeverityWrong result, lost time, or repeated question; the sort key
FindingWhat went wrong, in one clause
EvidenceA file:line, or a quoted line from the transcript
ClassMechanical, judgement, or navigation
Proposed checkThe change and the file it lands in

Severity: a wrong result outranks lost time; lost time outranks a repeated question.

Boundaries

Never edit product code or tests of product behaviour. A code fix belongs to the debug or software-engineer skills. A check this skill adds must pass the project's own CI before the commit. Never remove an existing check. Tighten a noisy one instead.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
