agilemarkdown: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/am-retro/SKILL.md

am-retro is a skill for Claude Code from mreider/agilemarkdown. It costs 65 tokens per session (817 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided end-of-iteration review for an agilemarkdown project. An iteration is a short period of planned work; the review asks what worked, what did not, and what the team should change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the end of an iteration to review delivered stories, velocity, cycle time, rejection rate, work types, learnings, and team agreements.
Why use it?
Teams can repeat the same problems when they do not examine completed work and its measurements. This process combines project data with team notes to support concrete improvements.

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

am-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 10d 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.

am-retro

A retro is a moment to ask three questions: what worked, what didn't, what changes do we make. Pivotal teams ran them at the iteration boundary. This skill walks the human through one, using the data already in the repo.

When this fires

  • Iteration boundary (the last accepted story for the iteration just landed, or the human says "wrap up").
  • Human asks for a retro.
  • User invokes /am-retro.

What to do

  1. Pull the iteration's data via MCP tools:

    • dashboard() for velocity, volatility, cycle time median, latest rejection rate.
    • velocity_history(backlog=<name>) for recent iteration deltas.
    • type_mix() for feature/bug/chore split.
    • Read learnings.md if present (via the file system; it is not a story file, so no MCP wrapper).
    • Read team-agreements.md if present.
  2. Render a one-screen summary in this shape:

    Iteration X retro
    
    Numbers:
      velocity:       <n> pts (was <prev>)
      volatility:     <n>%
      cycle time:     <n>d (median)
      rejection rate: <n>% (target band 5-15%)
      type mix:       feature <n>%, bug <n>%, chore <n>%
    
    What landed:
      - <story> (<type>, <pts>)
      ...
    
    What got rejected (if any):
      - <story>, <reason>
      ...
    
    Carryover:
      <items still in started/finished/delivered that did not accept>
    
  3. Ask the human three questions, one at a time, waiting between each:

    • What worked? Give them a moment. Then offer to record their answer to learnings.md via the record_learning tool.

    • What did not work? Same shape. The signal here is the one that informs the next agreement or canon-tightening.

    • What changes for next iteration? This is where new working agreements come from. If the human names a behavior, a moment, and a default, propose adding it to team-agreements.md via the team_agreements tool with set: and the appended line.

  4. If rejection rate is outside the 5-15% target band, surface that separately. Below 5% means the PM is not being careful enough; above 15% means the team is shipping work the PM does not want. Ask the human what they think is driving it.

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.
