project-retrospective

project-retrospective is a skill for Claude Code from ur-grue/autopunk-media-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (9,316 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-retrospective tool that turns notes from a completed project into a LESSONS.md file. The file records what worked, what failed, and what should be reused or changed next time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing finished media projects such as podcasts, documentaries, article series, newsletters, or pilots, especially after schedule, budget, or quality problems.
Why use it?
It preserves practical knowledge after a project ends, so teams do not lose workflow decisions, problems, or lessons when people move on.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

project-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 12d 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.

Project Retrospective

What This Skill Does

Takes raw notes about a finished media project and generates a structured LESSONS.md that captures reusable editorial decisions, workflow fixes, timeline findings, and specific carry-over items for the next project.

When To Use This Skill

  • After a series, season, or multi-episode project wraps and you want to capture what the team learned before everyone moves on to the next thing
  • When a project ran over budget, over schedule, or below quality expectations and you need a written record of why, without blame, before the post-mortem meeting
  • Before starting a new project that resembles one you finished recently — run the retrospective on the old project first, then use the LESSONS.md as a planning input
  • When a freelancer or contributor is leaving the team and their working knowledge needs to be captured before they go
  • At the end of a pilot or proof-of-concept phase, to decide whether the format is worth continuing and what must change if it does

What You Need To Provide

Required:

  • Project name and format (podcast series, documentary, article series, YouTube channel launch, newsletter run, etc.)
  • What the original brief or goal was — in one or two sentences
  • What was actually delivered — scope, episode count, word count, whatever the countable output was
  • What went well — even rough bullet points are fine
  • What went badly or took too long — same level of detail

Optional:

  • Timeline: planned vs. actual dates for key milestones (commission, first draft, rough cut, delivery)
  • Team structure: who did what, and whether roles shifted during the project
  • Budget notes: where you overspent, where you underspent, what you wish you had costed differently
  • Stakeholder or client feedback: quotes, notes from review rounds, approval friction
  • Technical or tooling notes: software, equipment, workflows that helped or caused problems
  • Audience reception: ratings, downloads, reader feedback, social response — anything that tells you whether the output landed
  • Anything that surprised you, positively or negatively

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.
