retro

retro is a skill for Claude Code from neurofoo/agent-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (547 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A retrospective format built around three questions: what should the team start doing, stop doing, and continue doing. A retrospective is a structured review of a past project period or working process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a sprint, project period, or process review to identify actionable improvements, practices to remove, and habits worth keeping.
Why use it?
It turns a general team discussion into specific behavior changes and preserves practices that are already working.

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 6d 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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Start-Stop-Continue Retrospective

Run a focused retrospective identifying what to Start, Stop, and Continue.

Instructions

Analyze the subject (project, period, process) and generate specific, actionable items for each category. Focus on behaviors and practices, not people.

Output Format

Subject: What period or topic are we reflecting on? Timeframe: What period does this cover?


START

New practices or behaviors to begin

What to Start Why Owner When
[Specific action] [Benefit expected] [Who] [Start date]
[Specific action] [Benefit expected] [Who] [Start date]
[Specific action] [Benefit expected] [Who] [Start date]

STOP

Current practices to eliminate

What to Stop Why Owner When
[Specific thing to stop] [Problem it causes] [Who] [End date]
[Specific thing to stop] [Problem it causes] [Who] [End date]
[Specific thing to stop] [Problem it causes] [Who] [End date]

CONTINUE

Things that are working well

What to Continue Why It Works How to Protect It
[Working practice] [Value it provides] [How to ensure it continues]
[Working practice] [Value it provides] [How to ensure it continues]
[Working practice] [Value it provides] [How to ensure it continues]

Top Priority The single most impactful change from this retro:

[Action] — because [reason]

Check-in When will we review if these changes are working?

[Date or trigger]

Guidelines

  • Be specific: "Start daily standups" not "communicate more"
  • Be behavioral: Focus on actions, not attitudes
  • Balance: Aim for 3-5 items per category
  • Celebrate Continues: Don't skip this section—recognize what's working
  • Assign owners: Unowned actions don't happen
  • One priority: If everything is important, nothing is

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.
