What it does
Retrospective is an agent skill from Apocrathia/home-assistant-config. Structured post-work retrospective for Home Assistant Homelab: review outcomes, mine git history for context drift, classify lessons, and route improvements — HA-local vs contribute back to prime-context. Use when the user says retro, /retrospective, what did we learn, or at session-end.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Retrospectives and Git workflow. It works with Home Assistant and Git. The repository describes itself as: Apocrathia's Home Assistant Configuration Files.
When your agent uses it
- The user says retro
- What did we learn
Example prompts
- “/retrospective”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Scope
- Review the session's own work
- Mine git history
- Classify
- Upstream vs HA-local
- Route and propose
- Durable lessons
- Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e28308a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Retrospective loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 577 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 577 words (~1,939 tokens).
“A structured review at work-close or session-end. The retrospective classifies observations and routes them: local context edits, HA-domain skill/rule improvements, or upstream contributions to prime-context.”
