knowledge-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/retro/SKILL.md

retro is a skill for Claude Code from fulminate-io/knowledge-mcp. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,882 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A post-work reflection skill that records what actually worked, what failed, and how to reproduce or test the result. It is used after a feature or fix has been verified in practice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create durable reproduction guides, capture lessons from verified fixes, connect results to earlier reasoning, and close completed work.
Why use it?
It prevents useful debugging evidence and working procedures from disappearing when the coding session ends.

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

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 6d 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 — 266 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Retro: $ARGUMENTS

This is the terminal phase of the workflow chain: brainstorm (WHY) → orchestrate (execution) → retro (feedback loop). The main LLM runs it directly — it is NOT a delegating phase that spawns subagents. It runs in the loop that holds the full session context, because only that loop knows what was actually built, what was observed working, and which hypotheses the real-world result confirmed.

For execution-phase discipline reference /orchestrate. For metacognition over the existing thought graph (a different job — see Step 6) reference /reflect.

retro's deliverable: durable, recall-able session knowledge — a reproduction guide future sessions can act on, plus the reasoning validated against what actually happened. The session's thoughts, the broken→fixed evidence, and the "how do I reproduce / test / connect to this" knowledge otherwise live only in scrollback and evaporate. retro writes them into the graph before they are lost.

retro CREATES session artifacts. /reflect ANALYZES the existing thought graph. They are different skills; retro may hand off to /reflect at the end (Step 6).

The following are NOT sufficient evidence on their own — they are the premature
trap, and you must not capture on them alone:
- green unit tests
- plan completion / all phases done
- tickets closed / "implementation finished"

If the precondition does NOT hold, STOP. Say so plainly, name what still needs
to be exercised for real, and do not write the guide. Premature capture is this
skill's cardinal failure.

You are capturing the feedback loop for the work this session delivered. Work through the steps in order. Be concrete and reproducible — the guide is written for a future session (or teammate) who has none of your context.

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.

retro is a skill published in the GitHub repository fulminate-io/knowledge-mcp (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 2,882 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
