**WORKFLOW SKILL** - Close out a session with an evidence-backed task and feedback audit, source-skill improvements, and safely approved branch and worktree cleanup. USE FOR: retro, session retro, session retrospective, wrap up this session, check whether we are done, reconcile my feedback. DO NOT USE FOR: standalone PR delivery (use pr), standalone repository cleanup (use git-tidy), creating new skills (use create-skill), unrelated historical session audits.

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

Turn "I think we're done" into a verified closeout. Reconstruct the user's
requests, finish authorized gaps, learn from corrections, and retire only
session-owned Git work that is demonstrably no longer needed.

Audit by default; use fix mode for active closeout. Do not mistake the user's
belief that work is finished for evidence that it is finished.

## Modes

- `/retro`: inspect and report; no project or skill edits, task
  status writes, Git mutations, review requests, or remote writes.
- `/retro fix`: audit, complete outstanding authorized work, improve used skills,
  and perform proved-safe cleanup only after separate approval.

An explicit current natural-language request to fix outstanding work or update used
skills also selects fix mode. A question about whether the session is done
selects audit mode. Ask only when the intended action is materially ambiguous.

In audit mode, follow the evidence-gathering and reporting steps below, but
only propose the remediation, validation, skill edits, and cleanup in steps
3-5. Do not run commands that write generated artifacts or invoke a sibling
workflow's mutating phases. Report outstanding actions without performing them.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongio/skills/retro@sha256:130fc3068d485c20

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
