SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill analyzes completed AI‑factory sessions to uncover inefficiencies, quality gaps, and knowledge deficits, turning raw artifacts into concrete improvement actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Artifact Mining: Reads state.json, session logs, GOAL.md, and other artifacts to build a comprehensive picture of what happened.
  • Pattern Detection: Identifies efficiency bottlenecks, quality issues, knowledge gaps, and process omissions across agents.
  • Actionable Proposals: Generates concrete suggestions for new skills, agent‑prompt tweaks, and AGENTS.md updates, and records them in SGAI_NOTES.md.
  • Use Case: After a workflow finishes, run this skill to automatically produce a retrospective report that guides future sessions toward higher speed and reliability.

Quick Start

Run the retrospective skill immediately after a session ends to receive improvement suggestions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze completed AI factory sessions for inefficiencies and quality gaps?▼

You can analyze completed AI factory sessions by mining artifacts like state.json, session logs, and GOAL.md to detect efficiency bottlenecks and generate concrete improvement proposals in SGAI_NOTES.md.

What is the best way to turn raw workflow artifacts into actionable improvement plans?▼

Turning raw workflow artifacts into improvement plans involves detecting process omissions and knowledge gaps across agents, then recording structured observations and prompt tweak suggestions in SGAI_NOTES.md.

When do I need to run a retrospective on my AI agent workflow?▼

You need to run a retrospective immediately after a workflow finishes to automatically produce a report that identifies quality issues and guides future sessions toward higher speed and reliability.

Can I use this retrospective analysis to generate suggestions for new skills and AGENTS.md updates?▼

Yes, retrospective analysis can generate concrete suggestions for new skills, agent-prompt tweaks, and AGENTS.md updates by building a comprehensive picture of what happened during the session from its artifacts.

Do I need state.json and session logs to perform a post-completion workflow analysis?▼

Yes, performing post-completion workflow analysis requires reading state.json and session logs to identify efficiency bottlenecks, quality issues, and process omissions across agents for actionable enhancement proposals.
