Weekly Engineering Retro
garrytan/gstack
Builds a weekly engineering retrospective from git history: commit counts, per-person contributions, work patterns and code quality numbers over a chosen window.
Run an honest personal year-in-review and set next year's direction — wins, misses, an energy audit, and one theme, not a resolution list that dies in February.

What it does
Year In Review is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Run an honest personal year-in-review and set next year's direction — wins, misses, an energy audit, and one theme, not a resolution list that dies in February. Use when asked for a personal year in review, a yearly reflection, to reflect on the past year, or plan next year. Produces the structured retrospective (what worked, what didn't, what you learned), an energy audit of what gave vs. drained you, the honest misses, and a single theme with a few concrete commitments. Personal, not corporate.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked for a personal year in review
- A yearly reflection
- Reflect on the past year
Example prompts
- “/year-in-review”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Facts before feelings. What actually happened this year, listed plainly, before judging it.
- Energy is the signal. What gave energy and what drained it predicts next year better than any goal — audit it explicitly.
- Misses get a real reason. Not "I was lazy" — the actual constraint (no time, wrong system, wrong goal). Reasons are actionable; shame isn't.
- One theme, not a list. A single organising idea ("build, don't polish"; "less, better") makes small decisions automatic all year.
- Commitments, not resolutions. 3–5 concrete, checkable actions tied to the theme — fewer than you want.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
Year In Review loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 129 tokens; SKILL.md has 522 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.

- Run an honest personal year-in-review and set next year's direction — wins, misses, an energy audit, and one theme, not a resolution list that dies in February. Use when asked for a personal year in review, a yearly reflection, to reflect on the past year, or plan next year. Produces the structured retrospective (what worked, what didn't, what you learned), an energy audit of what gave vs. drained you, the honest misses, and a single theme with a few concrete commitments. Personal, not corporate.
Year in Review
The problem with New Year's resolutions is they're a wish-list with no diagnosis — so they fail. This runs the review a good operator runs on a project, pointed at your year: what actually happened (not the highlight reel), where your energy went, what you'd repeat and stop, and a single organising theme that makes next year's dozens of small choices easier. One theme beats twelve resolutions.
Not quite this? Use
cn-year-end-reviewwhen you need a formal Chinese 年终总结 or 述职报告 for an employer.
What This Skill Produces
- The retrospective — the year in the domains that matter to you (work, health, relationships, money, growth), honestly
- The energy audit — what consistently gave energy vs. drained it (the most useful and most skipped part)
- The misses — what didn't happen and the real reason, without self-flagellation
- Next year's theme — one organising word/phrase, plus 3–5 concrete commitments tied to it
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The raw material — highs, lows, big changes, and anything you're proud of or avoiding (a brain-dump is fine)
- The domains you care about — so the review reflects your life, not a generic template
- How last year's goals went — if you set any (be honest about the gap)
- Constraints for next year — anything fixed (a move, a baby, a health issue) that shapes what's realistic
Framework: Diagnose, Then Direct
- Facts before feelings. What actually happened this year, listed plainly, before judging it.
- Energy is the signal. What gave energy and what drained it predicts next year better than any goal — audit it explicitly.
- Misses get a real reason. Not "I was lazy" — the actual constraint (no time, wrong system, wrong goal). Reasons are actionable; shame isn't.
- One theme, not a list. A single organising idea ("build, don't polish"; "less, better") makes small decisions automatic all year.
- Commitments, not resolutions. 3–5 concrete, checkable actions tied to the theme — fewer than you want.

Output Format
[Year] in Review — [name]
One-line summary of the year: …
What happened (by domain)
| Domain | Highs | Lows | What I learned |
|---|
Energy audit
- Gave energy: … · Drained energy: … · The pattern: …
Honest misses
- [what] — the real reason — what it tells me
[Next year]: the theme
One organising phrase.
Commitments (3–5):
- [concrete, checkable action tied to the theme]
Quality Checks
- The review lists what actually happened before evaluating it
- The energy audit is present and specific — not skipped
- Misses get an actionable reason, not self-blame
- There is exactly one theme, not a scattered list
- Commitments are few, concrete, and tied to the theme
- Next-year plan respects the stated constraints
Anti-Patterns
- A highlight reel that skips the misses — the review's value is in the honesty.
- Twelve resolutions with no organising theme — they compete and die.
- "I was lazy" as a reason — find the real constraint.
- Vague commitments ("get healthier") with no checkable action.
- Ignoring energy — the most predictive signal, most often left out.
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Run a personal year in review with me."
- "Help me reflect on this year and plan next year."
- "I want a yearly reflection — not just resolutions."
- "Do an energy audit of my year and give me one theme."
