retro-lost

retro-lost is a skill for Claude Code from tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit. It costs 74 tokens per session (7,774 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A retrospective workflow for sessions that have had no activity for more than 24 hours. A retrospective is a review of what happened, what was missed, and what should change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find abandoned sessions, select a review depth based on their age, and record lessons or unfinished follow-up work.
Why use it?
It handles old sessions differently from recent ones, so stale context does not lead to an unnecessarily deep or costly review.

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

retro-lost 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 11d 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.

/retro-lost — ретро потерянных сессий

⭐ ОСЬ ВОЗРАСТА: когда сессия — потеряшка и какое ретро ей положено (anton 02.09.2026)

Потеряшка = сессия без касания >24 часов (было 5 дней; сканер retro_lost_scan.py, MIN_AGE_DAYS=1). Возраст решает ГЛУБИНУ ретро — поле retro_mode в строке кандидата:

  • 1–5 дней (classic) — контекст ещё тёплый, мир не успел далеко уйти → классическое качественное ретро: полный набор шагов профиля узла (см. таблицу профилей ниже), включая контрибьют-тест, тесты панелью и docstring-паспорта на хабе.
  • >5 дней (lite) — поезд ушёл (в другом или том же направлении — неважно, догонять дорого) → облегчённое ретро: шаги 0/0-бис/1/2/3/7/8, БЕЗ шагов 4/5/6/7-бис/9. RECALL при этом ПОЛНЫЙ — это не то, что режется (опасность №1 никуда не делась).

Ось возраста ⊥ оси профилей (хаб/пир): сначала возраст выбирает classic/lite, потом профиль узла режет своё. Итог = ПЕРЕСЕЧЕНИЕ (пир-лайт + classic всё равно без панели ломателей — она хабовая рельса; хаб + lite не делает панель даже при живой рельсе). MAX_AGE_DAYS=30 (амнистия) не тронут.

Чем отличается от живого /retro и почему

Сессия брошена дни назад: контекст холодный, автора нет, мир УШЁЛ ВПЕРЁД. Отсюда три сдвига:

  1. RECALL — главный шаг, а не разминка. Опасность №1 (Антон: «чтобы не суммаризировать старьё»): торжественно записать урок, который соседняя сессия уже записала, или судить артефакт, который с тех пор переписан/удалён. Каждый вывод сверяется с СЕГОДНЯШНИМ состоянием: память + MEMORY.md, grep волта, реестр задач, git log затронутых файлов ПОСЛЕ даты сессии. Урок уже записан → строка «уже в домах, дубль не создаю». Артефакт переписан позже → судим текущую версию, не сессионную.
  2. Часть живого ритуала НЕ нужна. Compact-блок Антону — некому жать. Growth-log — только если в сессии был реальный спор/решение. Биты дня — протухли (сюжетно ценное → черновик в content-mine, не в канон задним числом). Drift-audit с подъёмом дочерних сессий — только если RECALL доказал, что направление ещё живо и не подхвачено.
  3. Сессия не отвечает — все вердикты со степенью уверенности; «зачем это строили» без улики в транскрипте = 🤔 гипотеза, не факт.

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.
