adev:retro

A retrospective tool for reviewing completed software work over a chosen period and turning the results into lessons and improvement suggestions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to examine completed work, calculate delivery measures, find improvement opportunities, and optionally apply low-risk maintenance updates.
Why use it?
It gathers information from project history and records in one review, making recurring delivery problems easier to spot.

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

adev: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 2d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 528 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sprint Retrospective

Analyze completed work across a date range to extract patterns, compute delivery metrics, and generate actionable improvement recommendations. The retrospective examines git history, validation reports, recovery records, blocker files, hygiene reports, and plan files to build a comprehensive picture of what happened and what to improve.

Announce at start: "I'm using the adev:retro skill to analyze completed work and generate a retrospective."

Arguments

  • --since <date>: start date for the analysis period (default: 2 weeks ago from today). Accepts ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) or relative expressions ("2 weeks ago", "1 month ago").
  • --charter <module>: scope the retrospective to a specific feature charter module. Only analyzes specs, plans, and validations under .context-index/specs/features/<module>/.
  • --auto-apply: apply low-risk improvements automatically (flag golden sample candidates, flag missing ADR topics, update hygiene report). Does not make destructive changes.

Prerequisites

The project must have .context-index/ initialized with at least a constitution.md and manifest.yaml. If the context index does not exist, suggest running /adev:init first.

Step 1: Gather Data

Collect data from multiple sources within the analysis period. For each source, note what was found and what was empty. Missing sources are not errors; they reduce the analysis scope but do not block the retrospective.

Load Skill Extensions: Load any skill extension instructions before proceeding:

adev skill-ext load --skill retro

If the output is not __NONE__, incorporate it as additional standing instructions that apply to this skill's entire execution. Frame it as: "The following skill extension instructions apply to this invocation (source: installed domain extensions and/or project-level overrides)." If the output is __NONE__, continue normally.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
