💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill performs a comprehensive audit of a conversation session to identify issues, compliance failures, and areas for improvement, automatically applying fixes to prevent recurrence.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Issue Identification: Detects repeated errors, compliance gaps, missing guidance, workarounds, and knowledge gaps.
  • Automated Fixes: Updates memory, rules, skills, or CLAUDE.md based on identified issues.
  • Pattern Detection: Identifies cross-session recurring problems.
  • Use Case: After a complex or problematic coding session, run this Skill to get a detailed report of what went wrong, why, and have the system automatically adjust its configuration to avoid similar issues in the future.

Quick Start

Run a deep retrospective of the current session.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a coding session to find compliance failures and workarounds?▼

Conducting a deep retrospective analysis audits a coding session by detecting compliance failures, missing guidance, and workarounds. It categorizes these issues and cross-references them against existing configurations to pinpoint root causes.

Can I automatically apply fixes to memory and rules after a problematic coding session?▼

Yes, automated fixes can be applied directly to memory, rules, skills, or CLAUDE.md configurations after a session. This updates the system to prevent the recurrence of identified workarounds and compliance gaps.

What is session forensics for software engineering conversations?▼

Session forensics is the deep retrospective analysis of a conversation to identify compliance failures, missing guidance, and knowledge gaps. It researches solutions and generates a detailed report of what went wrong and why.

How do I detect recurring cross-session issues and repeated errors?▼

You detect recurring cross-session issues by running a deep retrospective that identifies repeated errors and pattern detection. This analyzes conversation histories to find ongoing problems and missing guidance.

Does session retrospective analysis identify determinism candidates for scripting?▼

Yes, session retrospective analysis identifies determinism candidates for scripting during the audit. It highlights repetitive conversational tasks that can be converted into automated scripts to prevent future manual workarounds.
