retrospective

retrospective is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JeremyDev87/codingbuddy. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,379 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Analyze recent session context archives to identify coding patterns, agent usage, TDD cycle stats, and common EVAL issues. Generates a summary report with data-driven improvement suggestions.

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

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 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.

Session Retrospective

Overview

Analyze accumulated PLAN/ACT/EVAL session data from context archives to surface coding habits, recurring patterns, and actionable improvement suggestions. Transforms passive session history into data-driven growth insights.

Core principle: Decisions improve when informed by patterns, not just memory. Review what actually happened, not what you think happened.

When to Use

  • After completing a sprint or milestone
  • During periodic team/personal retrospectives
  • When noticing repeated issues across sessions
  • Before planning process improvements
  • When onboarding to understand team patterns

When NOT to Use

  • Mid-session (wait until a natural checkpoint)
  • With fewer than 3 archived sessions (insufficient data)
  • For real-time debugging (use systematic-debugging instead)

Prerequisites

  • Context archive system enabled (#999)
  • At least 3 archived sessions in docs/codingbuddy/archive/
  • MCP tools available: get_context_history, search_context_archives

Process

Phase 1: Data Collection

Gather session archives and extract structured data.

  1. Retrieve recent archives

    • Call get_context_history with appropriate limit (default: 20)
    • If no archives exist, inform user and suggest running a few PLAN/ACT/EVAL sessions first
    • Note the date range covered
  2. Read archive contents

    • Read each archived context document
    • Extract from each session:
      • Mode transitions (PLAN, ACT, EVAL, AUTO)
      • Primary agent used
      • Task description and title
      • Decisions made
      • Notes recorded
      • Progress items (ACT mode)
      • Findings and recommendations (EVAL mode)
      • Status (completed, in_progress, blocked)

Phase 2: Pattern Analysis

Analyze collected data across five dimensions.

2a. Mode Usage Patterns
  • Count sessions per mode (PLAN, ACT, EVAL, AUTO)
  • Calculate EVAL adoption rate: EVAL sessions / total sessions
  • Identify sessions that skipped EVAL (potential quality gaps)
  • Flag AUTO mode usage frequency

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.

retrospective is a skill published in the GitHub repository JeremyDev87/codingbuddy (31 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,379 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.
