timing-cli: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/session-retro/SKILL.md

session-retro is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sussdorff/timing-cli. It costs 47 tokens per session (573 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for a completed delivery session that records useful lessons and turns them into repository checks, tests, scripts, or written standards. A delivery session is a period of work that ends with a merge or a pull request for human review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after delivery to examine wasted effort, failures, and review findings, then add safeguards or project guidance.
Why use it?
It helps prevent the same costly mistakes from recurring by encoding lessons where later work can use them.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is sussdorff/timing-cli's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on timing-cli itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything timing-cli configures →

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

session-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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Session Retro

Run at the end of an executive-pack delivery, after the merge or after the pull request was handed to a human. This skill exists because the Pocock retro skill sets disable-model-invocation: true and cannot run on its own at the end of a delivery.

1. Retro

Read the installed Pocock retro skill (~/.agents/skills/retro/SKILL.md or ~/.claude/skills/retro/SKILL.md) and apply its method to the finished session. When it is not installed, review the session for: what cost time or tokens without value, what failed and why, which review or pr-agent findings were real, which were dismissed and why, and what the next delivery in this repository should do differently. Keep only learnings a later session would act on.

2. Encode each learning, structure first

For each learning, in this order:

  1. Structure in the delivered repository. A lint rule, a test, a check or a script that makes the mistake impossible or loud. Commit it on a branch in the delivered repository and open a pull request with pr; do not merge it here.
  2. Prose, only when no structure can hold it.
    • Project learnings go into the delivered repository's .agents/standards/.
    • Review-relevant learnings go into .agents/standards/review.md there. A pr-agent finding that was dismissed with a reason is recorded as a dismiss pattern: what the finding looks like, the condition under which it is skipped, and the risk boundary beyond which it must not be skipped.
    • Cross-project learnings are opened as a pull request against standards/ in cognovis/library-core.

3. Open Brain

Save the retro with ob save --project <repo> --type session_summary --title "<retro title>" --source-ref <harness>:<session-id> "<text>". The text lists each learning with where it was encoded (file, pull request link) or why it stayed prose. Report the Open Brain memory id.

Boundaries

This skill performs no merge, no push of the delivery branch, no issue closure and no worktree cleanup. Its own changes land only through the pull requests it opens.

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.
