lavra-retro

A weekly retrospective command that reviews recent repository work, shipping activity, team performance, and accumulated knowledge over a chosen time window.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the last seven days by default or specify a number of days or a start date. It examines commits, contributors, and saved retrospective files.
Why use it?
It turns recent development history into a repeatable review and can compare the current period with an earlier retrospective when one exists.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lavra-retro scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 397 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

#$ARGUMENTS </execution_context>

Phase 1: Time Window

  1. Determine retrospective window

    Parse arguments:

    • Default: last 7 days
    • --window Nd → N days back from today
    • --since YYYY-MM-DD → explicit start date
    # Calculate the since date
    if [ -n "$SINCE" ]; then
      since_date="$SINCE"
    elif [ -n "$WINDOW" ]; then
      days="${WINDOW%d}"
      since_date=$(date -v-${days}d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "${days} days ago" +%Y-%m-%d)
    else
      since_date=$(date -v-7d +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -d "7 days ago" +%Y-%m-%d)
    fi
    until_date=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
    
  2. Load previous retro snapshot (for trend comparison)

    # Find the most recent previous retro
    ls -1 .lavra/retros/*.json 2>/dev/null | sort | tail -1
    

    If exists, load it. Enables velocity trend comparison and topic drift analysis in later phases.

Phase 2: Shipping Analysis

Analyze git history within window.

  1. Identify current user

    git config user.email
    git config user.name
    

    Use to distinguish "You" from teammates in all output.

  2. Commit breakdown

    git log --since="$since_date" --until="$until_date" --format="%H|%an|%ae|%s" --no-merges
    

    Compute:

    • Total commits by author
    • Type breakdown by conventional commit prefix (feat/fix/refactor/test/chore/docs)
    • Non-conventional commits → flagged "untyped"
  3. Diff statistics

    git log --since="$since_date" --until="$until_date" --shortstat --no-merges --format=""
    

    Aggregate: files changed, lines added, lines removed.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
