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

facilitate-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 10d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Facilitate Retrospective

Facilitate a structured retrospective that helps a team introspect a body of work and identify concrete improvements. The output follows the Derby-Larsen five-phase retrospective framework (Set the Stage, Gather Data, Generate Insights, Decide What to Do, Close the Retrospective) adapted for AI-assisted analysis.

Input

$ARGUMENTS = description of the body of work to retrospect — sprint number and team name, milestone description, date range, or a narrative summary of what was delivered and what happened.

Process

1. Handle Missing Input

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or contains no actionable description, prompt the team lead for the minimum information needed to begin. Present these questions in a single consolidated prompt:

  • What work are we retrospecting? — Sprint number, milestone name, or date range.
  • Who is the team? — Team name or composition (helps frame observations).
  • What was delivered? — Key deliverables, features shipped, or goals targeted.
  • What notable events occurred? — Incidents, blockers, surprises, scope changes, staffing changes, or process experiments.

Do not proceed until at least a work scope and one or more notable events or deliverables are provided.

2. Gather Context

  • Read the project's CLAUDE.md for architecture, domain language, and team conventions
  • Scan for a roadmap or backlog file if one exists (Glob for roadmap*, backlog*, TODO*)
  • Check project memory for recent work completions, decisions, and open questions logged by the product-owner agent
  • Check the Agile Coach's project memory (.claude/agent-memory/engineering-leaders-agile-coach/MEMORY.md) for a configured retrospective_directory path
  • If a directory is configured, read prior retrospective artifacts in that directory to identify patterns and recurring themes

3. Set the Stage

Establish the retrospective's scope and framing:

  • Scope statement: What period or body of work is being reviewed (sprint dates, milestone name, or work description)
  • Prime Directive: Frame the retrospective under the Retrospective Prime Directive — "Regardless of what we discover, we understand and truly believe that everyone did the best job they could, given what they knew at the time, their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand." This is not decorative; it is a structural constraint on the language used throughout the document.
  • Blamelessness constraint: All observations, insights, and action items throughout the document must be framed in terms of systems and processes. No language may attribute outcomes to individual people.

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.
