Skill: Retrospective & Self-Improvement

ultrathink - Take a deep breath. We're not here to write code. We're here to make a dent in the universe.

The Vision

Every retrospective should make the system inevitable and better.

Your Work, Step by Step

1. •Summarize outcomes: Task, complexity, iterations, models.
2. •Analyze effectiveness: Routing, clarification, and agents.
3. •Identify gaps: Missed checks or friction.
4. •Propose improvements: Concrete, minimal changes.

Ultrathink Principles in Practice

• •Think Different: Question the status quo.
• •Obsess Over Details: Use evidence, not guesses.
• •Plan Like Da Vinci: Structure feedback before writing.
• •Craft, Don't Code: Keep recommendations actionable.
• •Iterate Relentlessly: Apply learnings immediately.
• •Simplify Ruthlessly: Focus on the few changes that matter.

Purpose

Analyze completed tasks to improve the Ralph Wiggum system.

When to Use

MANDATORY after every task completion, before declaring VERIFIED_DONE.

Analysis Categories

1. Routing Effectiveness

• •Was the complexity classification accurate?
• •Did the chosen model perform well?
• •Should routing thresholds change?

2. Clarification Quality

• •Were the right questions asked?
• •Did any missed clarifications cause rework?
• •Should question templates be updated?

3. Agent Performance

• •Which subagents were most useful?
• •Any agents that didn't add value?
• •New agent patterns needed?

4. Quality Gate Effectiveness

• •Did gates catch real issues?
• •Any false positives/negatives?
• •Missing validations?

5. Iteration Efficiency

• •How many iterations were used?
• •Could it have been done faster?
• •Any wasted iterations?
