[IMPORTANT] Use
TaskCreateto break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ask user whether to skip.
Prerequisites: MUST READ .claude/skills/shared/understand-code-first-protocol.md before executing.
Quick Summary
Goal: Facilitate sprint retrospective with structured feedback collection.
Workflow:
- What went well — Collect positive outcomes, wins, good practices
- What didn't go well — Identify pain points, blockers, frustrations
- Action items — Concrete improvements for next sprint
- Metrics — Sprint velocity, completion rate, bug count
Key Rules:
- Focus on process improvements, not blame
- Every "didn't go well" should have a proposed action item
- Action items must be specific, assignable, and time-bound
- Output to plans/reports/ directory
Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).
Retrospective Structure
1. Data Gathering
- Review sprint status report (if available from
/status) - Collect git activity: commits, PRs merged, branches
- Review task completion rate
2. What Went Well
- Identify practices worth continuing
- Celebrate wins and improvements from previous action items
3. What Didn't Go Well
- Identify friction points, blockers, delays
- Look for patterns across multiple sprints
- No blame — focus on systemic issues
4. Action Items
Each action item must have:
- Description — What needs to change
- Owner — Who is responsible
- Deadline — When it should be addressed
- Success criteria — How we know it's done
Output Format
## Sprint Retrospective
**Sprint:** [Sprint name/number]
**Date:** {date}
**Output:** plans/reports/retro-{date}-{sprint}.md
### What Went Well
- [Positive item]
### What Didn't Go Well
- [Pain point] → Action: [proposed fix]
### Action Items
| # | Action | Owner | Deadline | Status |
|---|--------|-------|----------|--------|
| 1 | [Action] | [Who] | [When] | Pending |
### Metrics
- Planned: X items | Completed: Y | Completion rate: Z%
IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)
- Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks using
TaskCreate - Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
