Conduct a retrospective on a coding session, suggesting actionable improvements to tooling, steering files (AGENTS.md), and automated checks. Use when the user invokes /retro or requests a session retrospective.

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

The user has asked for a **retrospective**. You are suggesting improvements to the coding agent's **environment** to improve future runs.

## Steps

1. consult and apply the `writing-for-agents` skill (`.agents/skills/writing-for-agents/SKILL.md`) for the writing style guide.

2. Read the primary sources for the session the user specifies. This may mean searching through session logs on this machine. If the user doesn't specify a session, default to the current one.

3. Look for candidates for improvement in these categories.

- **Navigation**: how easy was it for the agent to find the right files? Are there hidden dependencies between files? Would a **navigation pointer** make it easier? _Use when_ the session took a long time to find a piece of information.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add saifallah-star/aegis/retro@sha256:1b4a4ac6674d3d5f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.2d7a246, 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.
