SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identifies and analyzes post-failure events to produce durable process fixes that prevent recurring issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured, step-by-step retrospective workflow that guides incident identification, root-cause analysis, and durable artifact changes.
  • Auto-triggers on correction signals and repetitive feedback to surface systemic process weaknesses.
  • Clear guidance for memory persistence and CLAUDE.md alignment to enforce improvements.

Quick Start

Examine the latest failure and follow the six-step protocol to generate a durable fix.

Frequently Asked Questions about retrospective

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a structured post-mortem after a process failure?▼

A structured post-mortem uses a six-step retrospective workflow to identify failures, perform root-cause analysis, and generate durable process fixes that prevent recurring issues.

When do I need root-cause analysis for missed post-merge issues?▼

Root-cause analysis is needed when post-merge audits reveal missed issues or when subagents produce incomplete work, triggering a retrospective to surface systemic process weaknesses.

How do I stop repeating feedback and recurring process failures?▼

To stop recurring failures, auto-trigger a retrospective on correction signals to analyze the events and enforce durable artifact changes aligned with your memory and CLAUDE.md.

Does process improvement integrate with memory and CLAUDE.md?▼

Yes, process improvement integrates directly with memory and CLAUDE.md alignment to persist durable fixes and enforce continuous quality assurance improvements across workflows.

What is the best way to ensure fixes from a retrospective are durable?▼

The best way to ensure durable fixes is following the structured six-step protocol, which guides incident identification through to durable artifact changes and memory integration.
