Synthesize a session retrospective from the silent-observer journal — no interview. Reads the passive activity log (.claude/journal/), git history, and g-docs/todo.md, and writes g-docs/retros/YYYY-MM-DD-topic.md with what happened, decisions inferred, patterns, and cold-start context.

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

**Announce:** "Using g-retro to synthesize a retrospective from the session journal."

No interview: the silent observer (`hooks/observe.sh` + `hooks/agent-lifecycle.sh`) already recorded what happened into an append-only daily journal. This skill reads that journal plus git and `g-docs/todo.md` and **synthesizes** — the developer verifies, never recalls.

## Step 1 — Determine topic

Use the topic argument as the slug if given (lowercase, hyphen-separated). Otherwise infer without stopping to ask: a `feat/ fix/ refactor/ chore/<slug>` branch gives `<slug>`; else infer a ≤30-char slug from the `## Active Session` handoff + `git log --oneline -5`. Print `Retro topic: [topic]` and proceed (rename the file if the developer corrects it afterward).

## Step 2 — Read the journal and project state
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add onlygian/g-forge/g-retro@sha256:b469f17baacb15e1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.e7f0cc7, 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.
