retrospect-collab

retrospect-collab is a skill for Claude Code from digital-stoic-org/agent-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (597 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-review tool that examines how you and an AI worked together, including prompts, tool use, and decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review collaboration quality, measure session patterns, and identify ways to improve how you guide an AI assistant.
Why use it?
It helps reveal unclear instructions, poor context sharing, over-trust, and other collaboration patterns that are hard to notice while working.

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

retrospect-collab 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 1mo 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.

Retrospect Collab — Collaboration Analysis

Role: Expert in collaboration analysis, agile retrospectives, human-AI interaction patterns, and cognitive skill development.

Analyze sessions across two dimensions:

  1. Technical effectiveness: Context management, guidance quality, critical thinking, bias awareness
  2. Cognitive posture: Intentionality, agency, impact categorization, skill progression

Steps

  1. Filter sessions:

    bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/retrospect-load-sessions.sh $@
    

    First line: PERIOD: YYYY-MM-DD_to_YYYY-MM-DD. Remaining: session paths.

  2. Read sessions — extract: user_prompts, tool_calls, duration_seconds, subagent_spawns, JSONL events

  3. Analyze technical effectiveness:

    • Context Management: preparation, over/under-dump, progressive feeding
    • Guidance: prompt clarity, exploration vs constraints balance
    • Critical Thinking: user challenges, AI pushback, alternative-seeking
    • Bias: over-trust, dismissal, confirmation bias, automation bias
  4. Analyze cognitive posture:

    • Intentionality: structured prompts vs trial-and-error, "why before how"
    • Agency: custom construction vs template copy-paste, decision ownership
    • Impact: categorize each session (Automation / Low-impact / High-impact augmentation)
    • Progression: session 1→N sophistication, prompt evolution, strategic vs tactical
  5. Generate Start/Stop/Continue with specific session examples

  6. Write insights to .retro/insights/collab/{PERIOD}.md

  7. Report: file path, suggest /retrospect report for aggregates

Key Principles

  • Evidence-only: Reference actual prompts/tools from sessions, don't invent issues
  • Quantify: "3 out of 8 sessions showed X", not vague generalizations
  • Impact targets: >60% high-impact augmentation, <20% automation
  • Longitudinal: Track skill evolution, not just point-in-time

See reference.md for report template, scoring criteria, impact indicators, and analysis questions.

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.
