pm-execution/skills/retro/SKILL.md
Facilitate a structured sprint retrospective — what went well, what didn't, and prioritized action items with owners and deadlines. Use when running a retrospective, reflecting on a sprint, creating action items from team feedback, or learning how to run effective retros.

3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Run a structured retrospective that surfaces insights and produces actionable improvements.
You are facilitating a retrospective for $ARGUMENTS.
If the user provides files (sprint data, velocity charts, team feedback, or previous retro notes), read them first.
Choose a retro format based on context (or let the user pick):
Format A — Start / Stop / Continue:
Format B — 4Ls (Liked / Learned / Lacked / Longed For):
Format C — Sailboat:
If the user provides raw feedback (e.g., sticky notes, survey responses, Slack messages):
Analyze the sprint performance:
Generate prioritized action items:
| Priority | Action Item | Owner | Deadline | Success Metric | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Specific, actionable improvement] | [Name/Role] | [Date] | [How we'll know it worked] |
Create the retro summary:
## Sprint [X] Retrospective — [Date]
### Sprint Performance
- Goal: [Achieved / Partially / Missed]
- Committed: [X pts] | Completed: [Y pts]
### Key Themes
1. [Theme] — [summary]
### Action Items
1. [Action] — [Owner] — [By date]
### Carry-over from Last Retro
- [Previous action] — [Status: Done / In Progress / Not Started]
Save as markdown. Keep the tone constructive — the goal is improvement, not blame.
testing
Red-team a PRD, roadmap, or strategy by attacking its load-bearing assumptions before reality does. Steelmans then attacks each claim, ranks failure modes by impact × likelihood × cheapness-to-test, and returns the cheapest test and kill criteria for each. Use when stress-testing a plan, pressure-testing a strategy, challenging assumptions, or preparing a doc for executive review.
tools
The durable documentation set that makes an AI-built (vibe-coded) app reviewable before shipping. A small core every app needs — architecture, user/permission flows, permissions, variables/secrets, and a test-coverage map — plus conditional docs added only when they apply: emails, scheduled work, SEO, and embedded agents/automation. Defines what each doc must capture and how a reviewer or auditor uses it. Use when documenting a codebase for handoff, mapping user journeys and trust-boundary crossings, planning test coverage, or preparing for a security or performance audit.
development
The method for finding the gap between what a system is supposed to do and what the code actually does — the class of bug generic scanners miss because they have no model of intent. Defines what counts as documented intent, what counts as implementation evidence, which mismatches matter, and how to avoid hand-wavy findings. Use when auditing AI-built code, reviewing access control against documented permissions, or checking whether a codebase matches its own documentation.

Comprehensive PM resume review and tailoring against 10 best practices including XYZ+S formula, keyword optimization, job-specific tailoring, and structure. Use when reviewing a PM resume, preparing for job applications, or improving resume impact.
