retro

The /retro command analyzes git history from the past two weeks to facilitate data-driven sprint retrospectives. It examines commit patterns, identifies large pull requests, detects burnout signals like off-hours work, and calculates metrics including velocity and cycle time. Use this command during sprint retrospectives to generate structured insights about team performance, identify what worked well versus what hindered progress, and create specific action items prioritized by their impact on team velocity.

Facilitate a sprint retrospective:

1. **Gather data** from the sprint period:
   - `git log --since="2 weeks ago"` for commit activity
   - Count commits per author, per day
   - Identify large PRs (> 500 lines changed)
   - Find reverted commits or fix-after-fix patterns
   - Check for weekend/late-night commits (burnout signal)
2. **What went well:**
   - Features shipped on time
   - Clean PRs (small, focused, well-reviewed)
   - Fast cycle times (commit to merge)
   - Good test coverage on new code
3. **What didn't go well:**
   - Blocked items and their root causes
   - Scope creep indicators (PRs that grew significantly)
   - Incidents or hotfixes during the sprint
   - Commits with "fix fix" or "wip" messages (rushed work)
4. **Metrics:**
   - Velocity: story points or tasks completed
   - Cycle time: average PR open-to-merge duration
   - Bug rate: fixes as % of total commits
5. **Action items:**
   - Generate 3-5 specific, assignable improvements
   - Each item: what to change, who owns it, how to measure success
   - Prioritize by impact on team velocity
6. Output as a structured retro document ready to share with the team.
