agent-environment-retrospective

agent-environment-retrospective is a skill for Codex from OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development. It costs 33 tokens per session (601 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only review of a completed coding-agent session that identifies ways the agent's working environment caused friction. It ranks improvement ideas by severity and links each one to evidence from the session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a session to review environment problems and produce evidence-based improvement candidates.
Why use it?
It helps explain delays, missing context, repeated navigation, tool failures, and unclear feedback without changing the environment.

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

agent-environment-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 today.

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.

Agent-environment retrospective

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger A completed session needs an agent-environment retrospective.
Authority Read-only. No file, VCS, credential, paid, published, deployed, or remote mutation.
Side effect Chat output: severity-ranked environment improvement candidates.
Done Every candidate names evidence and the friction it removes.

Inputs

  • Session artifact (required): the completed session transcript or state record. Must contain observable agent-environment interaction.
  • Environment context (optional): the agent's working environment at session time. Use only if supplied; do not infer it.

Procedure

  1. Gather inputs. Receive the session artifact and any supplied environment context. Done when: the session artifact is received and any supplied environment context is noted.
  2. Identify friction. Scan the session artifact for patterns where the agent's environment created friction: tool failures, slow retries, missing context, state loss, repeated navigation, or unclear feedback. Done when: every friction pattern in the artifact is identified or the artifact is confirmed friction-free.
  3. Classify candidates. Assign each friction point a type: tool-failure, slow-retry, missing-context, state-loss, navigation-overhead, or unclear-feedback. Done when: every identified friction point has an assigned type.
  4. Rank by severity. Order candidates: high (blocks progress) → medium (degrades efficiency) → low (minor friction). When severity ties, prefer candidates with stronger evidence. Done when: candidates are ordered by severity with ties broken by evidence strength.
  5. Validate evidence. For each candidate, confirm the named evidence appears in the session artifact. Candidates without traceable evidence are omitted. Done when: every candidate is either confirmed against traceable evidence, omitted, or retained as unconfirmed with its severity downgraded.
  6. Return report. Output the severity-ranked candidate report. Done when: the report is emitted with every surviving candidate carrying type, evidence, severity, and friction_removed.

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.

agent-environment-retrospective is a skill published in the GitHub repository OutlineDriven/outline-driven-development (52 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 601 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
