son-of-anton: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/write-retrospective/SKILL.md

soa-write-retrospective is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cesarnml/son-of-anton. It costs 60 tokens per session (720 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A template for recording what happened after completing a major engineering phase or project change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing structured retrospectives about completed features, engineering projects, or large pull requests.
Why use it?
It preserves delivered work, problems, surprises, and lessons so future project planning can use them.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is cesarnml/son-of-anton's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on son-of-anton itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything son-of-anton configures →

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

soa-write-retrospective 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 2mo 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.

Write Retrospective

Retrospectives are AI-readable artifacts first, human-readable second. Future agents read them at phase starts and epic planning to understand what patterns to repeat, what to avoid, and what the spec missed. Section naming must be consistent across retrospectives so agents can reliably extract signal.

Required Sections (in order)

1. Scope delivered

What shipped: PR numbers, branch name, scope items as a short list. One paragraph max. This is the factual anchor — without it the retro floats.

2. What went well

Patterns to repeat. Include why they worked, not just that they did. "TypeScript caught it" is noise. "TypeScript caught it because the type was narrow enough to make the error unambiguous at the call site" is signal. Aim for reusable lessons, not praise.

3. Pain points

Friction sources with root cause. Distinguish avoidable waste (something that could be designed away) from expected cost (inherent to the work). Both are worth recording but they imply different follow-up.

4. Surprises

Things not in the spec — good and bad. This is the highest-signal section for future AI readers: surprises are exactly what won't appear in docs or specs. A surprise that led to a fix belongs here with full context. A surprise that was benign still belongs here so the next agent doesn't have to rediscover it.

5. What we'd do differently

Architectural or process choices that hindsight would change. Distinct from pain points: pain points are about what slowed you down; this is about what you'd redesign. Include the original reasoning so the retro doesn't just say "we were wrong" — say why the original choice looked correct and what new information changed it.

6. Net assessment

Verdict on whether the stated goals were achieved. Required for engineering epics (which have an explicit hypothesis). Optional for phases without a specific hypothesis. One paragraph. Don't hedge — say whether it worked.

7. Follow-up

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.
