What it does

Launch Retrospective is an agent skill from Ootto-AI/claude-content-skills. Use after a social launch, campaign, creator collaboration, or distribution test has enough evidence to decide what should be repeated, changed, or stopped. Trigger phrases include "run a launch retro", "what did we learn from this campaign?", "postmortem this launch", "should we repeat this?", and "turn these results into next steps". Do not use this to assign blame, invent missing data, or write a live performance dashboard; use social-analytics-report for the in-flight metric read and campaign-brief to plan…

Its SKILL.md is about 830 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, Runbooks and postmortems and Data analysis. The repository describes itself as: Free, copy-paste Claude skills that run your content growth factory — turn ideas + your NotebookLM memory into scroll-stopping Instagram reels. By Ootto. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases include run a launch retro
  • What did we learn from this campaign?
  • Postmortem this launch
  • Should we repeat this?

Example prompts

  • “run a launch retro”
  • “what did we learn from this campaign?”
  • “postmortem this launch”
  • “/launch-retrospective”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Reconstruct the intended plan
  2. Gather the evidence with limits attached
  3. Distinguish facts from explanations
  4. Commit to operational changes

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5263be7. 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

Launch Retrospective loads about 828 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 139 tokens; SKILL.md has 382 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~139
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~828

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.

description
Use after a social launch, campaign, creator collaboration, or distribution test has enough evidence to decide what should be repeated, changed, or stopped. Trigger phrases include "run a launch retro", "what did we learn from this campaign?", "postmortem this launch", "should we repeat this?", and "turn these results into next steps". Do not use this to assign blame, invent missing data, or write a live performance dashboard; use social-analytics-report for the in-flight metric read and campaign-brief to plan the next campaign.

Launch Retrospective

Turn a completed campaign into durable operational learning: what happened, why it may have happened, and the next smallest decision.

1. Reconstruct the intended plan

Bring together the original objective, audience, approved message, channel roles, budget or partner scope where supplied, timing, measurement plan, and decisions made during execution. Compare what actually shipped with what was planned. Separate a deliberate change from an accidental deviation.

2. Gather the evidence with limits attached

Use available performance data, qualitative feedback, partner notes, approvals, and execution records. State dates, metric definitions, missing data, and material confounders. Keep a timeline so the team does not attribute an outcome to a change that happened after it.

3. Distinguish facts from explanations

List observations first: what was published, what audiences did, and what tracking shows. Then list hypotheses about message, format, distribution, timing, destination, or process. Give each hypothesis a confidence level and the evidence that would strengthen or weaken it.

4. Commit to operational changes

Return a short set of keep, change, test, and stop decisions with owners and due dates. Update reusable inputs such as the campaign brief template, proof library, UTM vocabulary, or creator brief. Leave a clear record of unresolved questions so they are not rewritten as facts next time.

Hard rules

  • Do not use a retrospective to blame individuals, creators, or customers for an outcome.
  • Never claim causation where the evidence only shows correlation.
  • Include negative and inconclusive results; they are part of the learning.
  • Do not compare campaigns with different objectives or measurement conditions as if they were identical.
  • Separate process failure from message failure before prescribing a fix.

Failure modes

FailureDo this instead
The retro is a victory lap or blame documentUse a factual timeline, uncertainty, and future-oriented decisions.
A single metric explains the whole launchCombine the original job, data boundary, qualitative evidence, and process record.
Lessons stay as vague observationsTurn each learning into a named change, test, or stop decision.
The same tracking issue returns next launchUpdate the UTM or measurement workflow with a clear owner.

Where it sits

Use social-analytics-report for structured performance evidence during the launch. Use campaign-brief, paid-social-brief, influencer-partnerships, and utm-campaign-plan as source records. Feed confirmed lessons into the next campaign-brief rather than treating the retro as a standalone document.
