retro-pattern-analyzer

retro-pattern-analyzer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KirKruglov/claude-skills-kit. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,808 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for comparing sprint retrospective files, which are written reviews of what went well and poorly during development work. It finds repeated problems, unfinished action items, and recurring positive patterns across at least two Markdown or text files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review sprint history and create a structured report of recurring pains, unresolved actions, and positive patterns. It can read files from a folder or from a supplied list of paths.
Why use it?
It saves developers from manually comparing multiple retrospectives and makes issues that repeat over time easier to see. It can also focus the review on a chosen area, such as technical or delivery problems.

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-pattern-analyzer 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 9d 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.

Retro Pattern Analyzer

This skill analyzes retrospective files from multiple sprints and produces a structured report identifying recurring pain points, unresolved action items, and stable positive patterns. It reads .md and .txt files, normalizes different retro formats, and outputs retro-patterns-YYYY-MM-DD.md.

Input:

  • 2 or more retrospective files in .md or .txt format
  • Optional: folder path or list of file paths
  • Optional: focus area (e.g., "technical issues only", "delivery problems")

Output:

  • retro-patterns-YYYY-MM-DD.md — structured report with three blocks: recurring pains, unresolved action items, positive patterns

Language Detection

Detect the user's language from their message:

  • If Russian (or contains Cyrillic): respond in Russian
  • If English (or other Latin-script language): respond in English
  • If ambiguous: respond in the language of the trigger phrase used

Instructions

Step 1: Validate Input

  1. Check that at least 2 files are provided

    • If only 1 file provided: stop. Report: "Pattern analysis requires at least 2 retrospective files. Please provide a second file or folder path."
    • If folder path given: list all .md and .txt files in the folder; if fewer than 2 found, stop with same message
  2. Check each file is readable

    • If any file is unreadable or path does not exist: skip that file, report: "File [name] not found or unreadable — excluded from analysis."
    • Continue with remaining files if at least 2 remain
  3. If optional focus area provided: note it; use it to filter themes in Step 3

Step 2: Parse Retrospective Files

  1. For each file, identify structural sections using keyword detection:
    • What went wrong / Problems / Improvements / Minuses / Keep Stop Startwent-wrong bucket
    • What went well / Strengths / Positives / Pluseswent-well bucket
    • Action items / Next steps / TODOs / Agreementsactions bucket
    • Russian equivalents: Что мешало / Проблемы / Минусы → went-wrong; Что помогло / Плюсы → went-well; Договорённости / Задачи → actions

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.
