Audit whether prior learnings actually fired, then install mechanisms for this run's recurrences. No finding without an install path and a firing test. Triggers: retrospective, reflect, what did we learn, patterns, post-mortem, why does this keep happening.
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
<skill id="retrospective"> <purpose> This skill was redesigned 2026-09-03 because it was measurably not working. A follow-through audit of every retrospective, chronicle, plan and report in the Vaults counted **24 promised fixes: 15 live, 9 dead or never built.** The worst mistake class, unverified claims reaching a human, had been written up **11 separate times**, and both of its proposed fixes were still unbuilt. Meanwhile `improvement-gate.sh`, the hook that enforced "every run improves the system that does the work", was retired 2026-07-28 and nothing ever replaced it. The old version of this skill was not badly reasoned. Its nine lenses were sharp. It failed for one structural reason: **every output was a ledger row, and a ledger row enforces nothing.** A lesson written to a ledger that nothing reads at the moment of action is a gravestone with better formatting. So version 3 inverts what this skill is for. | | v2 | v3 | |---|---|---| | primary question | what did we learn | did the last learnings actually fire | | output | ledger rows | installed mechanisms, or an explicit accepted-no-mechanism row | …

How to install
mdr add ariaxhan/kernel-claude/retrospective@sha256:2b5c6020f2fb073fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260910.20bff72, 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.
