Conducts post-mortem analysis and retrospective evaluations after shipping a feature, sprint, or resolving an incident. Identifies bottlenecks, extracts reusable patterns, and feeds learnings into persistent agent memory.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Retro (Retrospective & Continuous Self-Learning)

## Overview

High-velocity engineering teams improve by reflecting systematically on completed work. The `retro` skill inspects the execution delta between the original plan and what actually happened, cataloging mistakes to avoid and positive patterns to repeat.

## When to Use

- Immediately after completing a significant milestone, feature release, or incident fix.
- When something failed unexpectedly or took 3x longer than anticipated.
- Triggered by "retro", "post-mortem", "what did we learn?", or `/learn`.

## 4-Step Retrospective Process

1. **What Went Well?**:
   - Architectural decisions that saved time.
   - Clean abstractions or testing patterns that caught bugs early.
2. **What Went Wrong / Unexpected Friction?**:
   - Surprising dependency bugs, rate limits, unhandled edge cases, or broken assumptions.
3. **Root Cause Analysis (5 Whys)**:
   - Identify the foundational reason for any defect or delay.
4. **Actionable Upgrades (Feed into Memory)**:
   - Formulate new rules for `AGENTS.md` or update skill instructions using the `/learn` pattern.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/retro@sha256:af97616f743ea36a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.941aa31, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
