Look back over AI-coding sessions (this one, or recent session logs) and propose improvements to the agent's environment.

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 sessions into a ranked list of concrete improvements to the agent's **environment**, not the code. Read-only analysis; **never modify the log files**. Output a numbered proposal list with one verbatim (redacted) evidence line per finding, then let the user pick which to apply.

**Scope.** `this`, or a run straight after a build or a bug fix: the current session. Its conversation is already in context, so skip steps 1–3 and apply the lenses in step 4 to it. After the context was cleared, find that session's log in step 1 and mine only it. Otherwise: the N most recent sessions, steps 1–6.

## Where the logs live

- **Claude Code:** `~/.claude/projects/<slug>/*.jsonl` (top-level sessions). Per-session subagent transcripts are under `<uuid>/subagents/agent-*.jsonl`: **skip these** when counting "sessions"; they're part of a parent.
- **Codex:** `~/.codex/sessions/<year>/<month>/<day>/rollout-*.jsonl` and `rollout-*.jsonl.zst`. Child-agent rollouts belong to their parent session.
- **Grok:** `~/.grok/sessions/<url-encoded cwd>/<id>/chat_history.jsonl`. A cwd under `/private/tmp` is usually a headless `panel` run.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leek/agent-skills/retro@sha256:8a566790e2ef2393

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.d6396e8, 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.
