Use after ship completes. Three sub-reflectors (instinct, gene, failure) run in parallel to extract lessons, update gene pool, and analyze any failures. Off the latency-critical path.
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 > Sprint 1.3 fan-out + Sprint 3 composable skill (v8.16+). Sub-reflectors merge via dedup-by-title. ## When to invoke - After `ship` completes (PASS) or after audit FAIL/WARN (capture lessons either way) - Cycle is in `ship` or `audit` phase, transitioning to `learn` ## When NOT to invoke - Cycle aborted before producing any artifacts - Pure-documentation cycles (no behavioral changes to reflect on) ## Workflow | Step | Action | Exit criteria | |---|---|---| | 1 | Read build-report.md, audit-report.md, state.json | Inputs loaded | | 2 | Dispatch 3 sub-reflectors in parallel | 3 worker artifacts | | 3 | Aggregator dedups `## Lesson:` blocks across workers | `<workspace>/retrospective-report.md` produced | | 4 | Optionally write to `.evolve/instincts/lessons/<slug>.yaml` | Lessons persisted | ## The three sub-reflectors | Sub-reflector | Focus | Output style | |---|---|---| | `retro-instinct` | Reusable patterns across cycles | `## Lesson: <pattern title>` | | `retro-gene` | Gene-pool updates based on cycle outcome | `## Lesson: <gene insight>` | | `retro-failure` | Failed approaches with reproduction steps | `## Lesson: <failure pattern>` | ## Report format …

How to install
mdr add mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/retro@sha256:facaa3bd39ef5f03The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.ca639a7, 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.
