Summary

Simplifies the retro flow based on feedback:

Before: Retro creates learning file + encoding issue simultaneously
After: Retro creates issue → encoding (including learning file) happens when issue is worked on

New Flow

Retro (any repo) → Issue (architecture repo) → Later: encode into learning + skill/command/agent

Key Changes

Retro now only creates issues, not learning files directly
Learning files are created when the issue is worked on
All issues go to flowmade-one/ai regardless of which repo the retro runs in
Added "When the Issue is Worked On" section for encoding guidance
Clearer separation: capturing insights vs encoding them

Rationale

All learnings ultimately live in architecture repo's learnings/
All encoding targets (skills/commands/agents) live in architecture repo
Simpler for retros run in product repos - just create the issue
Encoding can be prioritized and scheduled separately from capture

Simplify /retro flow: issue first, encoding later fac88cfcc7

Changed the retro flow to:
1. Retro (any repo) → Issue (architecture repo)
2. Later: Encode issue into learning file + skill/command/agent

Key changes:
- Retro now only creates issues, not learning files
- Learning files are created when the issue is worked on
- All issues go to architecture repo regardless of source repo
- Added "When the Issue is Worked On" section for encoding guidance
- Clearer separation between capturing insights and encoding them
