agentgem-retro

agentgem-retro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ninemindai/agentgem. It costs 59 tokens per session (441 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool for coding-agent sessions that looks for repeated problems such as retry loops, getting stuck, and finishing without checking the result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review recent coding sessions and choose one lasting improvement, such as a workflow change, a detector rule, or a useful skill.
Why use it?
It verifies suspected problems against actual session transcripts, helping distinguish a real working habit from a one-off failure such as a flaky test.

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

agentgem-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.

What it actually says

agentgem-retro

A focused friction retro — the "Where Things Go Wrong" slice of an insights report, without the full pipeline. Findings come from AgentGem's deterministic session detectors; your job is to verify each one against a real transcript and turn it into one concrete, standing fix.

Procedure

  1. Collect. Call get_behavior_findings (agentgem-goldmine MCP; default 14 days). Patterns are detector-derived: retry storms, thrash loops, unverified finishes, plus the user's own rules from ~/.agentgem/detectors.
  2. Verify before advising. For each finding, call ask_session on the cited session and ask whether the flagged behavior actually occurred. Keep the finding only if the answer supports it; drop it and say so if not. Detectors are heuristics — a retry storm can be a flaky test, not a habit.
  3. Advise. For each verified finding give: what happened (with the session it happened in), why it costs time, and one fix the user can adopt permanently — a custom detector rule in ~/.agentgem/detectors, a workflow change, or a skill worth installing (get_artifact_detail to inspect what's already installed).
  4. Close the loop. Point at the standing surfaces: agentgem learn to distill the lesson into the review queue, and the console Observe/Insights panels for the ongoing view.

Honesty rules

  • Never advise from an unverified detector hit; every recommendation cites a session you actually read.
  • If the findings are empty or all fail verification, say the recent sessions look clean — do not invent friction to have something to say.
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.

agentgem-retro is a skill published in the GitHub repository ninemindai/agentgem (39 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 441 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 2026-08-30.
