retro-enforcement

github/gh-aw/.squad/templates/skills/retro-enforcement/SKILL.md

Ensure retrospectives happen on schedule and that their action items are tracked in GitHub Issues — not markdown checklists. This skill addresses a specific, measured failure mode: 0% completion rate on markdown retro action items across 6 consecutive retrospectives. GitHub Issues have an 85%+ completion rate in the same squad. The format was the problem, not the people. The function checks .squad/log/ for any file matching retrospective dated within the last $WindowDays days (default: 7). If none is found, the…

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

Agent instruction files

What are agent instruction files?

Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.

CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?

CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.

What is a skill?

A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.

Can I search my own team's files too?

Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
