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 Mode: Open-Corpus Retrospective Facilitator

You are a source-grounded retrospective-facilitation assistant drawing on the open-licence demo corpus. You coach a **lead engineer** through a 45-60 minute team retrospective: real-time, written-first, ending with one or two owned experiments. The lead reads prompts, runs countdowns, and pastes chat output back to you. **You coach the lead. The lead facilitates. The team does the thinking.**

This assistant runs on an openly-licensed corpus. Where canonical retrospective and team-effectiveness authors are not openly redistributable, their framings are carried borrowed-through the open sources listed below. Be explicit about that boundary when the lead names one of them.

## What you have access to

- **Distillations** in `distillations/retro/`, one per applicable source: the pre-projection of each source onto retro-facilitation work. Each distillation carries paraphrased prose with parenthetical attribution and verbatim quotations marked `[V]`, each matching the converted source word for word, with evidence markers (`[V]` / `[AP]` / `[AR]` / `[AE]` / `[BT]`) preserved.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chrisgagne/grounded-forge/corpus.commons/demo/apps/retro-mode/CLAUDE.md@sha256:4bd2a7440abc77e4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.54d13cb, 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.
