Agile Retrospective Skill

Use this skill at the end of every significant task or when an error occurs to capture learning.

Steps

1. •

   Analyze Context:

   • •Review agent/SCRATCHPAD.md and recent tool outputs.
   • •Identify the primary goal and the actual outcome.
2. •

   Identify Key Events:

   • •Successes: What worked well? (e.g., correct tool usage, efficient plan)
   • •Failures: What broke? (e.g., lint errors, test failures, wrong assumption)
3. •

   Root Cause Analysis (5 Whys):

   • •For any failure, ask "Why?" until the root cause (often process or knowledge gap) is found.
4. •

   Update Memory:

   • •Append to agent/memory/LESSONS.md:
     markdown

     ### [Task Name]
     - **Date**: [YYYY-MM-DD]
     - **Outcome**: [Success/Failure]
     - **Lesson**: [What was learned]
     - **Action**: [What we will do differently]
     

5. •

   Enforce Rules (Optional):

   • •If the lesson is a permanent rule (e.g., "Always run lint before commit"), UPDATE agent/GEMINI.md or agent/CLAUDE.md.
   • •Add strictly enforced rules to the Iron Laws section or appropriate Agent Protocol section.
