Retro

Run a sprint retrospective — present metrics, collect team feedback, create action items, save notes.

Arguments

Format: <project> [--format start-stop-continue|daki|4ls]

• project: Project name or identifier (required)
• --format: Retro format (default: start-stop-continue)

Parse from "$ARGUMENTS".

Process

0. Bootstrap connector — consult the connector-bootstrap skill. Probe ToolSearch for the Plane resource tools referenced below (project, cycle, workitem, label, page); their names are mcp__<server>__<resource>, never assume a specific MCP prefix. If multiple Plane instances are connected, ask the user which one to use. All formulas and rules come from the agile-fundamentals skill. Calls are written resource(action=..., ...).

1. Get sprint data:

   cycle(action=list, project_id, status=current)       // or status=completed for the sprint that just ended
   

   Find active or most recently completed cycle.

   cycle(action=list_workitems, project_id, cycle_id)
   workitem(action=count, project_id, pql='cycle = "<cycle_id>"', group_by=state__group)
   

   Review the previous retro's actions first: workitem(action=list, project_id, pql='label = "<retro-action-label-id>"').

2. Generate sprint metrics:

   • Completion rate (points and items)
   • Velocity vs historical average
   • Scope changes (items added/removed mid-sprint)
   • Blockers encountered

3. Present retro template: Based on --format:

   start-stop-continue:

   • What should we START doing?
   • What should we STOP doing?
   • What should we CONTINUE doing?

   daki:

   • DROP: What's not working?
   • ADD: What new practices to adopt?
   • KEEP: What's working well?
   • IMPROVE: What can be better?

   4ls:

   • LIKED: What did we enjoy?
   • LEARNED: What did we learn?
   • LACKED: What was missing?
   • LONGED FOR: What do we wish we had?

4. Collect team input (interactive conversation)

5. Create action items (max 2-3):

   workitem(action=create,
     project_id, name="[RETRO] <action>",
     priority="high", labels=["<retro-action-label-id>"],
     assignees=["<owner>"], target_date="<next sprint end>")
   

6. Save retro notes:

   page(action=create,
     project_id,
     name="Retro — <sprint name> (<date>)",
     description_html="<formatted retro notes>")
   

Example Usage

/retro "TaskFlow"
/retro "My Project" --format daki
/retro "ShopFlow" --format 4ls
