# Retrospect ## Overview Repeated friction wastes cycles across sessions. Unexamined pain stays unresolved. **Core principle:** ALWAYS analyze root cause before proposing any action. Symptom-level fixes miss the underlying pattern. **Pipeline:** `Load -> Hygiene -> Analyze -> Audit -> Report/Approve -> Execute` **Delegates to:** `oh-my-claudecode:tracer` agent (causal pattern analysis), `oh-my-claudecode:analyst` agent (pattern clustering) — invoked via `Agent(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:...")` **Prerequisites:** `oh-my-claudecode` must be installed. The tracer and analyst calls in Stage 2 have no fallback, which is why this skill sits in the Enhanced tier of the compatibility table (`using-praxis`), not Standalone. **Reference map:** - Stage 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.7 details: [`references/stage1-2-analysis.md`](references/stage1-2-analysis.md) - Stage 2.5 gate procedures: [`references/stage2.5-audit.md`](references/stage2.5-audit.md) - Stage 3 output contract and approval flow: [`references/stage3-reporting.md`](references/stage3-reporting.md) - Stage 3 worked examples: [`references/report-template.md`](references/report-template.md) - Stage 4 execution procedures: [`references/stage4-execution.md`](references/stage4-execution.md) - Rationalization catalog / red flags / full failure matrix: [`references/appendices.md`](references/appendices.md) ## The Iron Law ``` NO ACTION WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS FIRST. PATTERN ≠ ROOT CAUSE. SYMPTOM ≠ ROOT CAUSE. REPEATED PATTERN
