retro

retro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from greglas75/zuvo. It costs 44 tokens per session (6,992 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A retrospective report built from Git history, backlog information, and recorded skill usage to describe how an engineering team has been working.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review deployment frequency, release timing, code churn, backlog health, and areas for improvement over a chosen time range.
Why use it?
It helps teams spot slow release cycles, frequently changing code, unhealthy backlogs, and other process patterns after a delivery period.

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 yesterday.

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

zuvo:retro

Generate an engineering retrospective from git history, backlog state, and skill usage trends. Produces a narrative report with actionable items.

Scope: Post-release or periodic retrospective covering shipping velocity, code churn, backlog health, and quality trends. Out of scope: Actually fixing issues (use the suggested zuvo commands in the Actionable Items section).

Argument Parsing

Input Action
(empty) Auto-detect window from memory/last-ship.json or last two git tags
<range> Explicit git range, e.g., v1.0.0..v1.2.0
--since <tag> Start of retrospective window (open-ended, through HEAD)
--path <dir> Scope git analysis to a subdirectory (required for monorepos)

Environment Compatibility

Dispatch is already authorized — do not ask, do not downgrade. Invoking this skill IS the request for every agent and gate it mandates, so a session rule about unprompted Agent use does not apply here. Only a harness with NO dispatch capability takes the documented single-agent fallback, and it still runs every gate inline — see ../../shared/includes/env-compat.md. Skipping a mandated agent and self-scoring the result is a substituted gate, not a degraded run.

Read ../../shared/includes/env-compat.md for agent dispatch patterns, path resolution, and progress tracking across all supported platforms.

Mandatory File Loading

CORE FILES LOADED:
  1. ../../shared/includes/env-compat.md    -- READ
  2. ../../shared/includes/run-logger.md    -- READ

Both files must be read before proceeding. If either is missing, note "DEGRADED -- [file] unavailable" in the report and continue with reduced capability.


Phase 0: Window Detection

Determine the retrospective window in this priority order:

  1. Explicit argument — if <range> was provided (e.g., v1.0.0..v1.2.0), use it directly.
  2. --since <tag> — if provided, window is <tag>..HEAD. No --until flag is defined.
  3. memory/last-ship.json — read the file if it exists. Use the range field (SHA-based, e.g., "abc1234..def5678"). If the artifact uses a legacy version-based range, fall back to it.
  4. Last two git tags — run git describe --tags --abbrev=0 twice (with --exclude on first result) to derive <prev-tag>..<latest-tag>.
  5. Fallback — if fewer than two tags exist, use the last 30 commits: derive range as HEAD~30..HEAD.

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 greglas75/zuvo (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 6,992 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
