/retro — Engineering Retrospective

Comprehensive retrospective analyzing git history, memory activity, and work patterns. Persistent history with trend tracking.

Preamble

Before executing this skill:

Load context from memory:

memory_search(query: "{skill-relevant-query}", associative: true, limit: 5)
memory_search(tag: "{skill-name}", limit: 3)

Review returned memories for relevant past context, decisions, and patterns.

Check OMC state for active work:
```
state_get_status()
```
If conflicting active tasks exist, warn the user before proceeding.

Detect current branch (for git-related skills):

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "not-a-git-repo"

Check proactive mode:
```
state_read("occ-proactive")
```
If "false": do NOT proactively suggest other OpenClaw-CC skills during this session. Only run skills the user explicitly invokes.

Log skill activation:

memory_daily_log(type: "note", entry: "Skill activated: /{skill-name}")

Arguments

/retro — default: last 7 days
/retro 24h — last 24 hours
/retro 14d — last 14 days
/retro 30d — last 30 days
/retro compare — compare current vs prior same-length window

Parse argument. Default 7d. Validate format: number + d/h/w, or "compare".

Step 1 — Data Collection (parallel)

Detect default branch:

DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name 2>/dev/null || echo "main")

Compute midnight-aligned start date for day/week windows.

Run ALL commands in parallel:

# 1. Commits with stats
git log origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH --since="<window>" --format="%H|%aN|%ae|%ai|%s" --shortstat

# 2. Per-commit LOC breakdown
git log origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH --since="<window>" --format="COMMIT:%H|%aN" --numstat

# 3. Timestamps for session detection
git log origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH --since="<window>" --format="%at|%aN|%ai|%s" | sort -n

# 4. File hotspots
git log origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH --since="<window>" --format="" --name-only | grep -v '^$' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

# 5. PR numbers
git log origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH --since="<window>" --format="%s" | grep -oE '#[0-9]+' | sort -n | uniq

# 6. Per-author commit counts
git shortlog origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH --since="<window>" -sn --no-merges

Additionally, query memory:

memory_search_date(start: "{window_start}", end: "{today}", category: "daily-logs", limit: 50)
memory_search(tag: "done", limit: 20)
memory_search(tag: "decision", limit: 10)
memory_stats()

If task-scheduler available:

task_history()

Step 2 — Metrics Table

Metric	Value
Commits to default	N
Contributors	N
PRs merged	N
Total insertions	N
Total deletions	N
Net LOC	N
Test LOC ratio	N%
Active days	N
Sessions detected	N
Avg LOC/session-hour	N
Memories created	N
Knowledge graph nodes	N
Skills used	list

Per-author leaderboard:

Contributor         Commits   +/-          Top area
You (name)              32   +2400/-300   src/
collaborator            12   +800/-150    tests/

Step 3 — Commit Time Distribution

Hourly histogram (local time):

Hour  Commits  ████████████████
 09:    4      ████
 14:    8      ████████
 22:    5      █████

Call out peak hours, dead zones, late-night patterns.

Step 4 — Work Session Detection

45-minute gap threshold between commits. Classify:

Deep sessions (50+ min)
Medium sessions (20-50 min)
Micro sessions (<20 min)

Calculate total active time, average session length, LOC/hour.

Step 5 — Commit Type Breakdown

Categorize by conventional prefix (feat/fix/refactor/test/chore/docs):

feat:     20  (40%)  ████████████████████
fix:      27  (54%)  ███████████████████████████
refactor:  2  ( 4%)  ██

Flag if fix ratio > 50% — may indicate review gaps.

Step 6 — Hotspot Analysis

Top 10 most-changed files. Flag:

Files changed 5+ times (churn hotspots)
Test vs production files in list

Step 7 — Memory & Decision Analysis

From memory data:

Key decisions made this period (from tag: "decision")
Completed tasks (from tag: "done")
Memory health: total memories, new this period, archived

Step 8 — Focus Score + Ship of the Week

Focus score: % of commits touching single most-changed directory. Higher = deeper work. Lower = scattered.

Ship of the week: Highest-impact PR/change.

Step 9 — Streak Tracking

# Consecutive days with commits
git log origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH --format="%ad" --date=format:"%Y-%m-%d" | sort -u

Count backward from today.

Step 10 — Prior Retro Comparison

Search memory for previous retro:

memory_search(tag: "retro", limit: 1)

If found, show trends:

                    Last        Now         Delta
Test ratio:         22%    →    41%         ↑19pp
Sessions:           10     →    14          ↑4
Commits:            32     →    47          ↑47%

If first retro: "First retro recorded — run again next week to see trends."

Step 11 — Save & Report

Save retro to memory:

memory_store(
  category: "daily-logs",
  title: "Retro: {date range}",
  content: "{full retro JSON metrics}",
  tags: ["retro", "weekly-review"],
  importance: 7
)
memory_daily_log(type: "done", entry: "Weekly retro completed: {tweetable summary}")

Step 12 — Narrative Output

Structure:

Tweetable summary (first line):

Week of {date}: {commits} commits, {LOC}k LOC, {test_ratio}% tests, {sessions} sessions | Streak: {N}d

Metrics Table (Step 2)

Time & Session Patterns (Steps 3-4)

Shipping Velocity (Steps 5-6)

Memory & Decisions (Step 7)

Focus & Highlights (Step 8)

Top 3 Wins

3 Things to Improve (specific, anchored in data)

3 Habits for Next Week (practical, <5 min to adopt)

Notify

Messenger Notification

Send notifications for significant events via messenger:

When to Notify

Event	Platform	Priority
Task/pipeline completed	telegram	Normal
Verification failed	telegram	High
Long-running task done (10+ min)	telegram	Normal
Critical error or blocker	telegram	High
PR created / release shipped	all	Normal
Importance ≥ 8 memory created	telegram	Normal

Notification Format

messenger_send(
  platform: "telegram",
  message: "[{skill-name}] {status_emoji} {brief description}\n\n{details if relevant}"
)

Status Emojis:

Completed successfully: ✅
Completed with warnings: ⚠️
Failed / blocked: ❌
Needs attention: 🔔

Do NOT Notify

Routine memory operations
Intermediate progress steps
Read-only operations (search, list, status)

messenger_send(platform: "telegram", message: "{tweetable summary}\n\nFull retro available in memory.")

Tone

Encouraging but candid
Specific — always anchor in actual commits/data
Skip generic praise — say exactly what was good
Frame improvements as leveling up, not criticism
~2000-3500 words total

Completion Status Protocol

Every skill must end with one of these status codes:

Code	Meaning	When to Use
DONE	All steps completed, evidence provided	Root cause found + fix verified, PR created, review finished
DONE_WITH_CONCERNS	Completed with warnings or caveats	Tests pass but coverage dropped, fix applied but can't fully verify
BLOCKED	Cannot proceed, requires user intervention	3 failed attempts, missing permissions, external dependency down
NEEDS_CONTEXT	Missing information to continue	Unclear requirements, need user clarification

Escalation Rules

3-strike rule: After 3 failed attempts at any step, STOP and escalate to user. Do not continue guessing. Present what was tried and ask for direction.
Scope escalation: If fix/change touches 5+ files unexpectedly, pause and confirm with the user before proceeding.
Security uncertainty: If you are unsure about a security implication, STOP and escalate. Never guess on security.
Verification requirement: Never claim DONE without evidence.
- "Should work" → RUN IT. Confidence is not evidence.
- "Already tested earlier" → Code changed since. Test again.
- "Trivial change" → Trivial changes break production.

Output Format
