Capture what to keep, stop, and start after an initiative, sprint, or kill. Closes the PDLC cycle by turning experience into durable knowledge.
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
# Run Retrospective Turns a completed initiative, a sprint, or a killed bet into organizational knowledge. Produces a learning record in `.pdlc/learnings/`. A kill without a retrospective wastes the effort — the point of killing is to learn cheaper than building would have taught. ## Prerequisites - Apply the shared PDLC conventions in `skills/pdlc/references/shared.md`. - A concluded initiative (shipped, iterated, or killed), or a sprint boundary. ## Steps 1. Frame the scope: which initiative or period, and what outcome occurred (shipped, iterated, killed). 2. Capture what to **keep** (what worked and should be repeated), what to **stop** (what to never do again), and what to **start** (new actions to try). 3. For each item, name the root cause, not just the symptom. "We were slow" is a symptom; "discovery and build ran in series with no handoff contract" is a root cause. 4. Tie each learning back to the artifact chain: which assumption, decision, or gate should have caught this earlier? 5. Convert the strongest start/stop items into concrete next actions with owners (feed the roadmap or a new initiative). 6. Write the record to `.pdlc/learnings/N-<slug>.md`. …

How to install
mdr add tomzx/agents/run-retrospective@sha256:70f4a44fc7f4fdfdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b35fc4b, 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.
