retro is a skill for Claude Code from GentBajko/capstone. It costs 84 tokens per session (160 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A post-session review skill that examines a coding-agent session and proposes changes to the project's working rules, one approved change at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a work session to review what happened and suggest updates to standards.md or AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md.
Why use it?
It turns evidence from a completed session into possible improvements without silently changing the project's standards.

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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Capstone: retro

From this skill's base directory, read ../core/references/core.md and ../core/references/core-authoring.md, then execute ../core/references/protocols/retro.md exactly. An argument names the session to read; with none, it reads the session in progress.

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.
