conduct-retrospective is a skill for Claude Code from pjt222/agent-almanac. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,816 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured review of a project, sprint, or milestone that compares planned work with what actually happened. It identifies successes and problems, then turns them into actions with owners and due dates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after sprints, project phases, incidents, or major successes to review status reports, delivery data, feedback, and unfinished improvement actions.
Why use it?
It helps teams learn from their working process instead of carrying the same obstacles into the next period.

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

conduct-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.

Conduct a Retrospective

Facilitate a structured retrospective that reviews recent project execution, identifies what worked and what didn't, and produces actionable improvement items that feed back into project processes. This skill transforms raw project data into evidence-backed learnings with specific actions, owners, and due dates.

When to Use

  • End of a sprint (sprint retrospective)
  • End of a project phase or milestone
  • After a significant incident, failure, or success
  • Quarterly review of ongoing project processes
  • Before starting a similar project (lessons learned review)

Inputs

  • Required: Period under review (sprint number, date range, or milestone)
  • Optional: Status reports from the review period
  • Optional: Sprint velocity and completion data
  • Optional: Previous retrospective actions (to check closure)
  • Optional: Team feedback or survey results

Procedure

Step 1: Gather Retrospective Data

Read available artifacts from the review period:

  • STATUS-REPORT-*.md files for the period
  • SPRINT-PLAN.md for planned vs actual
  • BACKLOG.md for item flow and cycle times
  • Previous RETRO-*.md for open action items

Extract key facts:

  • Items planned vs completed
  • Velocity trend
  • Blockers encountered and resolution time
  • Unplanned work that entered the sprint
  • Open action items from previous retrospectives

Got: Data summary with quantitative metrics (velocity, completion %, blocker count).

If fail: If no artifacts exist, base the retrospective on qualitative observations.

Step 2: Structure "What Went Well"

List 3-5 things that worked well, with evidence:

## What Went Well
| # | Observation | Evidence |
|---|------------|---------|
| 1 | [Specific positive observation] | [Metric, example, or artifact reference] |
| 2 | [Specific positive observation] | [Metric, example, or artifact reference] |
| 3 | [Specific positive observation] | [Metric, example, or artifact reference] |

Focus on practices to continue, not only outcomes. "Daily standups kept blockers visible" is more actionable than "We delivered on time."

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.
