/retrospective — Session Retrospective

Quick retrospective for any Oracle. For the full /rrr experience, install arra-symbiosis-skills.

Steps

0. Anchor (date-stamp + root)

date "+🕐 %H:%M %Z (%A %d %B %Y)"

Find oracle root — git toplevel that has CLAUDE.md + ψ/

ORACLE_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null) if [ -n "$ORACLE_ROOT" ] && [ -f "$ORACLE_ROOT/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ] || [ -L "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ]; }; then PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" elif [ -f "$(pwd)/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$(pwd)/ψ" ] || [ -L "$(pwd)/ψ" ]; }; then ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)" PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" else echo "⚠️ Not in oracle repo (no CLAUDE.md + ψ/ at git root). Writing to pwd." ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)" PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" fi

### 1. Gather

```bash
git log --oneline -10

2. Write

Path: $PSI/memory/retrospectives/YYYY-MM/DD/HH.MM_slug.md

mkdir -p "$PSI/memory/retrospectives/$(date +%Y-%m/%d)"

Include:

• Session Summary
• What Got Done (commits, PRs)
• Lessons Learned
• Next Steps

3. Sync to Oracle (two-layer pattern)

1. Write to $PSI/memory/learnings/YYYY-MM-DD_<slug>.md with frontmatter:

   ---
   pattern: <lesson in one line>
   date: <today>
   source: retrospective: REPO
   concepts: [<tags>]
   ---
   
   # <lesson title>
   <body>
   

2. The Oracle's auto-memory layer picks up new files in $PSI/memory/learnings/ automatically — no separate API call needed.

Do NOT git add ψ/ — vault is shared state.

4. Confirm (announce-mode — absolute paths required)

announce-mode → absolute path (no ψ/, no ~/, no $VAR, no ...). Use: echo "marker: $RESOLVED_PATH" — bash substitutes. See CONVENTIONS.md.

RETRO_FILE="$PSI/memory/retrospectives/$(date +%Y-%m/%d)/$(date +%H.%M)_${SLUG}.md"
LESSON_FILE="$PSI/memory/learnings/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)_${SLUG}.md"
echo "📝 Retrospective:  $RETRO_FILE"
echo "💡 Lesson learned: $LESSON_FILE"
