sprint-retrospective

A guide for reviewing a completed sprint by examining its work, incidents, timing, quality, and team communication.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps identify what worked, investigate failures or delays, and assign concrete process improvements to files and priorities.
Why use it?
It turns scattered sprint records and git history into specific lessons and follow-up actions.

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

sprint-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sprint Retrospective

Reviews the sprint and proposes process improvements.

Step 1: Gather data

# Sprint doc
cat plan/issues/sprints/{N}/sprint.md

# Diary entries from this sprint
cat plan/diary.md

# Git history for the sprint
git log --oneline --since="YYYY-MM-DD"

# Recently completed issues
rg -n '^status: done$' plan/issues/*.md | tail -20

# Task completion times (if available)
# Check TaskList or sprint doc task table

Step 2: Identify incidents

For each merge/task, assess:

  • Cycle time: how long from claim to merge?
  • Friction: rebase failures, conflict resolution, idle waiting?
  • Quality: regressions? Tests skipped? Checklist steps missed?
  • Communication: too many messages? Wrong recipients? Ignored messages?

Step 3: Categorize

What went well — with evidence:

  • Which processes worked as designed?
  • Which fixes landed cleanly?
  • What saved time vs previous sprints?

What didn't go well — with root cause:

  • Each incident: what happened, why, impact
  • Systemic patterns across incidents

Step 4: Propose action items

For each problem, propose a specific change to a specific file:

# Change File Priority
A1 {what to change} {which file} HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW

Each action item should be:

  • Specific: exact file and section to edit
  • Testable: how do we know it worked next sprint?
  • Small: one rule change, not a process overhaul

Step 5: Write retrospective

Write to plan/issues/sprints/{N}/sprint.md:

# Sprint {N} Retrospective

**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Baseline**: {start numbers}
**Final**: {end numbers}

## What went well
- (with evidence)

## What didn't go well
### Incident 1: {title}
**What happened**: ...
**Root cause**: ...
**Impact**: ...
**Action item**: ...

## Action items summary
| # | Change | File | Priority |
...

## Proposed file edits
(exact diffs for each action item)

Step 6: Review with team

Share the retro with tech lead and user. Don't apply edits unilaterally — propose and wait for approval.

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.

sprint-retrospective is a skill published in the GitHub repository loopdive/js2 (59 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 610 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
