# Retrospective
Turn execution experience into institutional knowledge. This skill orchestrates a fixed
Phase 0 through Phase 5 workflow that gathers evidence, generates insights, diagnoses root
causes, decides actions, scores atomicity, and persists learnings. The long-form rubrics
live verbatim in `references/`; this file is the orchestration contract.
This skill replaces the former `retrospective` agent (`.claude/agents/retrospective.md`).
Lifecycle hooks can invoke a skill but not an agent, so the retrospective workflow moves
here to be callable from `Skill("retrospective")`, from `/retro fill <date>` (Issue #2079),
and from the Stop-hook auto-retrospective path
(`.claude/hooks/Stop/invoke_auto_retrospective.py`).
## Triggers
| Trigger Phrase | Operation |
|----------------|-----------|
| `run a retrospective` | Full Phase 0..5 workflow over the given scope |
| `retro fill` | Fill an unfilled auto-retro skeleton for a date |
| `extract learnings from this session` | Phase 0..4 over the current session |
| `diagnose this failure` | Phase 0..2 root-cause analysis, then stop |
| `what did we learn` | Phase 4 atomicity-scored learning extraction |
