For a repository in the babysitter-users catalog, locate its babysitter processes and any committed runs (.a5c/runs/<runId>/) and perform a retrospective on a chosen run -- what went well, what failed, process suggestions, quality of effect design, breakpoint patterns -- mirroring the /babysitter:retrospect workflow but applied to an external repo. Invoke when asked to "retrospect on repo X's run", "analyze how someone else used babysitter", or "review an external babysitter run".

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

# Retrospect External Babysitter Run

Analyse a babysitter run that lives in an external public repository, using the same lens as the in-repo `/babysitter:retrospect` command. Produce a written retrospective with concrete suggestions for the process author (or, if the insight generalizes, for the babysitter project itself).

## When to use

- User names an external repo and asks for a retrospective.
- User asks "find a babysitter run to retrospect on" (combine with the `catalog-babysitter-users` skill to pick one).
- User asks "how are other people using babysitter processes? What do they get wrong?".

## Prerequisites

- `gh` CLI authenticated.
- `docs/repo-with-babysitter-processes.md` exists (if not, run the `catalog-babysitter-users` skill first).
- A workspace directory where external repos can be shallow-cloned (default: `/tmp/babysitter-retrospect/` or `.a5c/tmp/external-runs/`).

## Phase 1 -- Target selection

1. Read `docs/repo-with-babysitter-processes.md` and list Active repos with stars + description. If the user already named a repo, skip to step 3.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/retrospect-external-babysitter-run@sha256:2fbc8873f476e19a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260412.82342d6, 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.
