What it does
Retro Facilitator is an agent skill from hamzafarooq/claude-code-starter. Generate a sprint retrospective document from raw notes or observations. Returns what worked, what didn't, and 3 concrete action items with owners. Use when the user wants to run or document a sprint retro.
Its SKILL.md is about 400 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. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to run
- Document a sprint retro
Example prompts
- “/retro-facilitator”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- "Paste any notes from the sprint — what happened, what people said, anything relevant."
- "How long was the sprint and what was the goal?"
- "How many people on the team? Any themes you already know came up?"
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 172c531. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Retro Facilitator loads about 401 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 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.

- retro-facilitator
- description
- Generate a sprint retrospective document from raw notes or observations. Returns what worked, what didn't, and 3 concrete action items with owners. Use when the user wants to run or document a sprint retro.
Ask the user:
- "Paste any notes from the sprint — what happened, what people said, anything relevant."
- "How long was the sprint and what was the goal?"
- "How many people on the team? Any themes you already know came up?"
Then produce:
Sprint Retrospective — [Sprint Name/Number]
Sprint goal: [what you set out to do] Goal status: Achieved / Partially achieved / Missed — [one line on why]
What went well
4–6 bullets. Specific things that worked — behaviors, practices, or moments worth repeating. Not generic ("good communication") — concrete ("daily standups stayed under 10 minutes").
What didn't go well
4–6 bullets. Be direct. Name the pattern, not just the symptom. Avoid blame — focus on systems and process.
Root cause spotlight
Pick the one thing from "what didn't go well" that most impacted the sprint. One paragraph: what happened, why it happened, what it cost.
Action items
| Action | Owner | Done by |
|---|---|---|
| [specific change to make — not "improve communication"] | [name or role] | [next sprint / specific date] |
Limit to 3 action items. More than 3 means none will get done.
Carry forward
Any unresolved themes from previous retros. Flag if the same issue has appeared 3+ times.
End with: "At the next retro, start by reviewing these 3 action items."
