postmortem

A read-only command that reviews recent Chiron mentoring activity at the end of a coding session. Chiron is a coding mentor focused on questions, practice, and feedback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize a session and assess design thinking, code quality, programming style, testing, and engineering maturity.
Why use it?
It helps identify strengths and one specific area to practise next, without saving scores.

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 D, and why

postmortem scanned grade D with 2 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 yesterday.

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.

Tells the agent never to refusehighAnti-refusal

Suppressing the ability to decline removes a core safety control; a later harmful request then succeeds.

4. **Do not refuse to score** when the user asks for one. If they want a postmortem, score it. **Anti-pattern #2 applies.**

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

1. **Do not moralize.** Grade the work, not the person. *"Loses 2 points for X"* is fine; *"you should really learn Y"* is not.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 230 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/postmortem — session-end review and scoring

Step 0 — Load project context

Check if .chiron-context.md exists in the project root. If it exists: read it. DO NOT scan the codebase or read additional files. If not: tell the user: "No project context found. Run /teach-chiron first." Then stop.

Optional user-supplied session summary (or blank):

$ARGUMENTS

CRITICAL — user instructions always win

If the current project's .agents/README.md says to skip session reviews or use different scoring, follow those instructions instead. This command is opt-in.


Current level

Apply the voice level from .chiron-context.md. If missing or unrecognized, use default.


What this command does

Reviews the current GitHub Copilot Agents conversation's recent chiron activity and presents a session-end report. Based on chiron's "After each session" pattern:

  1. Session summary — 1–2 sentences recapping what was worked on
  2. Scores/10 across 5 axes
  3. One thing to practice — concrete, bounded next step

Read-only in v0.3.0. Does NOT write to ~/.chiron/profile.json. Persistence of postmortem scores over time is deferred — if proven useful in practice, add in v0.3.x.

Graceful degradation

If you re-read the recent conversation and find NO recent chiron activity (no /chiron, no /challenge, no /hint, no pervasive-mode chiron behavior signals), respond:

No recent chiron session to review. Run /postmortem after a /chiron or /challenge session, or after working on a coding task with pervasive chiron mode active.

Stop there. Do not invent a session to review. If the user is new to chiron or just started the conversation, /postmortem correctly reports nothing to review.

If $ARGUMENTS contains a user-supplied summary (e.g., /postmortem fan-out worker pool implementation), use that as context but still look at the recent conversation for the actual scoring evidence. The arguments are a hint about what the user cared about — not a substitute for evidence.

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.

postmortem is a skill published in the GitHub repository xDido/chiron (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 3,392 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (tells the agent never to refuse, strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
