What it does

Retrospective is an agent skill from kenneth-liao/ai-launchpad-marketplace. Use when ending a working session to capture lessons learned, when the user corrects Claude or asks to redo work, when the user expresses frustration with output quality, or when user triggers /retrospective

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Retrospectives.

When your agent uses it

  • Ending a working session to capture lessons learned
  • The user corrects Claude
  • Asks to redo work
  • The user expresses frustration with output quality

Example prompts

  • “/retrospective”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Scan conversation for friction
  2. Classify and route each friction moment
  3. Prioritize findings
  4. Present findings interactively
  5. Check existing files before writing
  6. Write confirmed findings
  7. Verify applied proposals
  8. Journal and summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04b93d6. 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

Retrospective loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,253 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

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 1,253 words (~2,865 tokens).

“A meta skill that helps Elle actively improve over time. Captures friction from working sessions, routes findings to the correct context file, and closes the loop on past proposals.”
