After completing a significant task, run a brief retrospective:
- •Read the conversation history -- What was asked? What was delivered?
- •Evaluate:
- •Did the solution stay within scope?
- •Were changes small and reversible?
- •Were there any wasted steps or wrong turns?
- •Was anything harder than expected? Why?
- •Extract insights -- If there's a reusable lesson, append it to
.claude/lessons.md. - •Report to the user -- Share a 2-3 sentence summary of what went well and one thing to improve next time.
Keep it honest and brief. The goal is continuous improvement, not ceremony.
