Close a work session properly: reconcile it against the wider collaboration, inventory what was actually built from git log and recently-touched files, summarize the arc, classify each artifact as keep, one-off or promote-to-permanent, route the durable ones to memory, canon or a new skill, save the retro as a vault note, and hand back an enriched /compact block so working memory shrinks without losing the thread. Triggers: "/retro", "/rr", "wrap up the session".
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 — session retrospective (what we built · what we keep) > 🧒 **When reporting to a non-technical owner:** end with a child-simple "In plain words" recap in his language. His standing request (memory `eli5-always`). Reports TO him only — not inside vault notes. A retro = the Agile end-of-cycle ritual (**Keep / Drop / Try**) applied to a work session: look back, decide what survives. The goal is that **nothing reusable drowns in the transcript** — tools, rules, and lessons get caught and put in their right home. ## Step 0 — RECALL & RECONCILE FIRST (situate this session in the WHOLE collaboration) **Before any inventory, RECALL WIDE — this is the heart of the retro, not a formality (the owner, 2026-07-02).** A session never happened in a vacuum: I run on multiple machines + a Cowork fleet concurrently, and this retro may be running **days/weeks/months after** the work. So recall here serves TWO jobs, not one: - **(A) De-dupe** — a rule/skill/note I'm about to capture may already be done by a parallel session. …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/retro@sha256:02a908b37644aabbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.cd6c208, 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.
