Session retrospective and codebase pattern discovery, with subcommands retro (default), which extracts corrections and preferences into durable config, and discover, which extracts codebase conventions into rule files. Enhanced with self-improving agent lifecycle. Use when user says "retro", "what did we learn", "save preferences", "discover patterns", "extract conventions", or after a significant multi-step session with corrections worth persisting.
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
## Overview Unified learning skill for extracting patterns from conversations and codebases. Enhanced with the self-improving agent lifecycle from alirezarezvani/claude-skills: capture, flag for promotion, graduate to rules. ## When to Use - The user says "retro", "what did we learn", "save preferences", "discover patterns", or "extract conventions". - A significant multi-step session ended, or a session collected corrections worth persisting. - `retro-pointer.py` reported hook blocks at session end. - Recurring review feedback points at a convention nobody wrote down. For saving resumable task state, use `/checkpoint save`; for a handoff summary, use `/session-log`; for filing a single fact, use `/brain`. ## Process | Invocation | Action | |-----------|--------| | `/retro` | Analyze conversation for corrections and preferences (default) | | `/retro discover` | Extract codebase conventions into rule files | | `/retro --curate` | Review and clean up memory files | | `/retro --promote` | Graduate memory entries to rules/CLAUDE.md | | `/retro --hooks` | Mine `~/.claude/logs/hooks.log` for block patterns and propose upstream fixes | …

How to install
mdr add gufranco/claude-engineering-rules/retro@sha256:84ca535fa8061fdbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.8b030ee, 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.
