engineering-retrospective

engineering-retrospective is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 43 tokens per session (958 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of engineering-retrospective, Apache-2.0.

An engineering retrospective is a report about what happened during a chosen period of software work. It uses repository activity, issue tracking, and code-review records when available, and records missing evidence instead of guessing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review commits, pull requests, CI runs, issues, and review outcomes, then write team breakdowns, observed work habits, and gaps to a local Markdown file.
Why use it?
It brings scattered development evidence into one period-bounded report and separates supported findings from gaps in the records.

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

engineering-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 1mo 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.

Engineering retrospective

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger The user requests an engineering retrospective for a named period.
Authority Reversible local: writes only the single report file at reports/engineering-retrospective-<period-slug>.md; rollback is undo. No remote mutation.
Side effect One local write to the authorized report file built from telemetry and review logs.
Done A report file exists at the authorized path containing the period, team breakdowns, evidence-backed habits, and gap accounting.

Inputs

  • Period: the time window named in the request. Required; the retrospective is bounded to it. Resolve it to explicit start and end dates.
  • Repository telemetry for the period: commits, pull requests, CI runs. Required; gathered from the local repository.
  • Connected tracker telemetry for the period: issues, tickets. Optional; gathered from connected trackers when accessible.
  • Review logs for the period: code-review threads, comments, and resolution outcomes. Optional; absent logs are reported as a gap rather than inferred.

Procedure

  1. Read the period from the request and resolve it to explicit start and end dates. Stop if no period is supplied. Derive the authorized report path as reports/engineering-retrospective-<period-slug>.md where <period-slug> is the period expressed as YYYYMM-DD or the user's requested slug. Done when: the period is resolved to start and end dates and the report path is named.
  2. Discover the repository and connected trackers. Identify the local repository root by walking up from the working directory to find .git. Identify connected trackers by inspecting repository configuration and project files: issue trackers linked in .github/, package.json metadata, or project configuration files. Establish source precedence for overlapping telemetry: the local repository is the primary source for commits, PRs, and CI runs; connected trackers are the primary source for issues and tickets; review logs from the repository are primary over tracker-exported review data. When two sources cover the same activity, cite the primary source and note the secondary as corroboration. Done when: the repository root is found, connected trackers are identified or marked absent, and source precedence is established.
  3. Gather telemetry for the period from each discovered source. From the local repository: git log for commits in the period, gh pr list or equivalent for pull requests, CI run history for build outcomes. From connected trackers: issues or tickets created or updated in the period. From review logs: review threads, comments, and resolution outcomes. Mark each unavailable source explicitly as a gap with the reason. Done when: every discovered source is gathered for the period or marked as a gap.
  4. Derive team and contributor breakdowns from the gathered evidence. Summarize activity per team or per contributor: commit count, PR count, review participation, issue resolution, and CI pass/fail rate. Attribute each breakdown to the source it was derived from. Done when: breakdowns are derived for every contributor or team with activity in the period.
  5. Identify habits: recurring patterns, bottlenecks, and practices observed across the period, each tied to the evidence that shows it. Distinguish habits the evidence supports from inferences. Done when: habits are identified with evidence citations.
  6. Write the assembled retrospective to the authorized report file. Include the period, source coverage and gaps, team breakdowns, habits with evidence, and a one-line summary. Done when: the report file exists at the authorized path with all sections.

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.
