In plain words
What is it for?
It helps facilitate end-of-sprint reviews, reflect after projects or outages, address team issues, and document improvement actions.

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

iterate-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 9d 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.

Retrospective

A retrospective is a structured reflection that helps teams learn from their experiences and continuously improve. By regularly examining what went well, what didn't, and what to change, teams build a culture of learning and adaptation. The value isn't just in the discussion.it's in the documented actions and follow-through.

When to Use

  • At the end of every sprint (for agile teams)
  • After completing a significant project or milestone
  • Following a major incident or outage
  • When team dynamics feel off and need addressing
  • At regular intervals (monthly, quarterly) even without specific triggers
  • When onboarding new team members to establish improvement culture

When NOT to Use

  • You want one durable learning banked for the organization -> use iterate-lessons-log; the retro is the ceremony, the log entry outlives it
  • You are scoring an OKR cycle at close -> use measure-okr-grader
  • The reflection must end in a pivot-or-persevere call -> use iterate-pivot-decision
  • You need a recap of a general (non-retro) meeting -> use foundation-meeting-recap

Instructions

When asked to facilitate or document a retrospective, follow these steps:

  1. Set the Context Define what period or project this retrospective covers, who attended, and any significant events that occurred. This frames the discussion and helps future readers understand the context.

  2. Choose a Format Select a retrospective format that fits the team's needs. Common options include:

    • Start/Stop/Continue: Simple and direct
    • 4Ls: Liked, Learned, Lacked, Longed for
    • Mad/Sad/Glad: Emotion-focused
    • Sailboat: Visual metaphor (wind=helps, anchor=holds back)
  3. Gather Input Collect observations from all team members. Ensure everyone contributes.quiet voices often have important insights. Group similar items to identify themes.

  4. Discuss and Prioritize Don't try to address everything. Focus the discussion on the most impactful items. Vote or discuss to identify the top 2-3 issues to address.

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.
