Update /retro command to store learnings and create encoding issues
Restructured retro flow to: 1. Store learnings in learnings/ folder (historical + governance) 2. Create encoding issues to update skills/commands/agents 3. Cross-reference between learning files and issues 4. Handle both architecture and product repos differently Key changes: - Learning file template with Date, Context, Learning, Encoded In, Governance - Encoding issue template referencing the learning file - Encoding destinations table (skill/command/agent/manifesto/vision) - Clear guidance for architecture vs product repo workflows - Updated labels (learning instead of retrospective) Closes #42 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Retrospective

||||
Capture learnings from completed AI-assisted work to improve the workflow and refine the product vision.
|
||||
Capture learnings from completed work. Learnings are stored for historical record and governance, then encoded into skills/commands/agents where Claude can use them.

|

- What worked well?
|
||||
- Any specific improvement ideas?
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Analyze and categorize**: Group learnings into:
|
||||
- **Prompt improvements**: Better instructions for commands/skills
|
||||
- **Missing capabilities**: New commands or skills needed
|
||||
- **Tool issues**: Problems with tea CLI, git, or other tools
|
||||
- **Context gaps**: Missing documentation or skills
|
||||
3. **Identify learnings**: For each insight, determine:
|
||||
- **What was learned**: The specific insight
|
||||
- **Where to encode it**: Which skill, command, or agent should change?
|
||||
- **Governance impact**: What does this mean for how we work?
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Connect to vision** (if `vision.md` exists in the target repo):
|
||||
- Did this work make progress on any vision goals?
|
||||
- Did learnings reveal new priorities that should become goals?
|
||||
- Did we discover something that should be a non-goal?
|
||||
- Should the current focus shift based on what we learned?
|
||||
4. **Store the learning**: Create a learning file in the architecture repo:
|
||||
|
||||
If any vision updates are needed:
|
||||
- Present suggested changes to `vision.md`
|
||||
**File**: `learnings/YYYY-MM-DD-short-title.md`
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# [Learning Title]
|
||||
|
||||
**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
|
||||
**Context**: [Task that triggered this learning]
|
||||
|
||||
## Learning
|
||||
|
||||
[The specific insight - be concrete and actionable]
|
||||
|
||||
## Encoded In
|
||||
|
||||
- Pending: Issue #XX to update [target skill/command/agent]
|
||||
|
||||
## Governance
|
||||
|
||||
[What this means for how we work going forward]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create the learning file in architecture repo
|
||||
# If in architecture repo:
|
||||
cat > learnings/YYYY-MM-DD-short-title.md << 'EOF'
|
||||
[content]
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
|
||||
# If in a different repo, note that learning should be added to architecture repo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Create encoding issue**: Create an issue to encode the learning:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tea issues create -r flowmade-one/ai \
|
||||
--title "Encode learning: [brief description]" \
|
||||
--description "## Learning Reference
|
||||
See: learnings/YYYY-MM-DD-short-title.md
|
||||
|
||||
## What to Encode
|
||||
[The specific change to make]
|
||||
|
||||
## Target
|
||||
- [ ] \`skills/xxx/SKILL.md\` - [what to add/change]
|
||||
- [ ] \`commands/xxx.md\` - [what to add/change]
|
||||
|
||||
## Governance
|
||||
[Why this matters]"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Update learning file**: Add the issue reference to the "Encoded In" section.
|
||||
|
||||
7. **Connect to vision**: Check if learning affects vision:
|
||||
- **Architecture repo**: Does this affect `manifesto.md`? (beliefs, principles, non-goals)
|
||||
- **Product repo**: Does this affect `vision.md`? (product direction, goals)
|
||||
|
||||
If vision updates are needed:
|
||||
- Present suggested changes
|
||||
- Ask for approval
|
||||
- Update the vision file and sync to Gitea
|
||||
- Update the appropriate file
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Generate improvement issues**: For each actionable improvement:
|
||||
- Determine the appropriate milestone (see Milestone Categorization below)
|
||||
- Create an issue in the AI repo with the milestone assigned:
|
||||
## Encoding Destinations
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tea issues create -r flowmade-one/ai --title "<title>" --description "<body>" --milestone "<milestone>"
|
||||
```
|
||||
| Learning Type | Encode In |
|
||||
|---------------|-----------|
|
||||
| How to use a tool | `skills/[tool]/SKILL.md` |
|
||||
| Workflow improvement | `commands/[command].md` |
|
||||
| Subtask behavior | `agents/[agent]/agent.md` |
|
||||
| Organization belief | `manifesto.md` |
|
||||
| Product direction | `vision.md` (in product repo) |
|
||||
|
||||
## Milestone Assignment
|
||||
## Architecture vs Product Repos
|
||||
|
||||
Before creating issues, fetch available milestones:
|
||||
**In the architecture repo**:
|
||||
- Learning files are created directly in `learnings/`
|
||||
- Issues are created in the same repo
|
||||
- Vision changes affect `manifesto.md`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tea milestones -f title,description
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For each issue, automatically assign to the most relevant milestone by matching:
|
||||
- Issue content/problem area → Milestone title and description
|
||||
- If no clear match, ask the user which milestone (goal) the issue supports
|
||||
- If no milestones exist, skip milestone assignment
|
||||
|
||||
## Issue Format
|
||||
|
||||
Use this structure for retrospective issues:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
What task triggered this learning (brief).
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem / Observation
|
||||
What was the friction point or insight.
|
||||
|
||||
## Suggested Improvement
|
||||
Concrete, actionable change to make.
|
||||
|
||||
## Affected Files
|
||||
- commands/xxx.md
|
||||
- skills/xxx/SKILL.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
**In product repos**:
|
||||
- Learning files should be added to the architecture repo (not the product repo)
|
||||
- Issues are created in `flowmade-one/ai` (architecture repo)
|
||||
- Local vision changes affect `vision.md` in the product repo
|
||||
|
||||
## Labels
|
||||
|
||||
Add appropriate labels:
|
||||
- `retrospective` - Always add this
|
||||
Add appropriate labels to encoding issues:
|
||||
- `learning` - Always add this
|
||||
- `prompt-improvement` - For command/skill text changes
|
||||
- `new-feature` - For new commands/skills
|
||||
- `new-feature` - For new commands/skills/agents
|
||||
- `bug` - For things that are broken
|
||||
|
||||
## Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
- Be specific and actionable - vague issues won't get fixed
|
||||
- One issue per improvement (don't bundle unrelated things)
|
||||
- Reference specific commands/skills when relevant
|
||||
- Keep issues small and focused
|
||||
- Skip creating issues for one-off edge cases that won't recur
|
||||
- **Be specific**: Vague learnings can't be encoded
|
||||
- **One learning per file**: Don't bundle unrelated insights
|
||||
- **Always encode**: A learning without encoding is just documentation
|
||||
- **Reference both ways**: Learning file → Issue, Issue → Learning file
|
||||
- **Skip one-offs**: Don't capture learnings for edge cases that won't recur
