retro

retro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Langerrr/zforge. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,400 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for measuring how well the zforge workflow supported a completed feature. It evaluates the workflow's templates, phases, reports, recovery steps, and evidence handling, rather than judging the technical design itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a substantial zforge session to review session history, score the workflow, record findings, and suggest improvements to zforge.
Why use it?
It helps identify weaknesses in the feature-work process without confusing process problems with coding or architecture decisions.

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 3d 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.

Zforge Retro

Evaluate zforge's workflow performance on a feature. The output is for improving the zforge plugin itself — not for project documentation or tracking.

Run

  1. Convert the requested feature name to snake_case.
  2. Read docs/{feature_name}/session_log.md. If it is missing or has no entries, stop with: "No session history to evaluate. Run the retro at the end of a working session."
  3. Read docs/{feature_name}/decision_review.md §B when present. These live process notes are the primary input.
  4. Confirm this conversation contains substantial work on the feature. If this is a fresh session with no relevant implementation context, stop with: "Run the retro at the end of a working session, not in a fresh one."
  5. Create docs/{feature_name}/.zforge-retro/ and write the result to {session_id}.md using the output contract below.
  6. Report the overall score, actionable findings, and any changes worth contributing to zforge.

Scope Boundary

Zforge is a workflow plugin, not a thinking framework. Retro judges:

  • Templates, file structure, conventions
  • Phase scaffolding, the report and recovery contracts
  • Whether declared evidence was honoured, checked and carried
  • Workflow ceremony and simplicity

Retro does NOT judge:

  • Architectural or design decisions (superpowers territory)
  • Code quality or correctness (review territory)
  • LLM reasoning quality (model capability, not plugin)
  • Whether the right feature was built (human's job)

The question is always: "Did zforge's workflow help or get in the way?"

NOT DO Rules

  • Do not run in a fresh session. If the current session has no substantial conversation about the feature (no tool calls touching feature files, no implementation work), refuse. Retro requires session context to evaluate.
  • Do not run if session_log.md has no entries. No session history means nothing to evaluate.
  • Do not suggest zforge should make thinking decisions. If a finding starts drifting into "zforge should have caught this design flaw" — that's out of scope. Drop it.
  • Do not produce findings without concrete evidence. Every finding needs specific files, sections, quotes, or examples. Vague observations are not findings.
  • Do not aggregate across features. Each retro evaluates one feature's experience. Cross-feature analysis is done by humans through PRs to the zforge repo.

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.

retro is a skill published in the GitHub repository Langerrr/zforge (10 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,400 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.
