# Retrospective

Facilitate a retrospective for "$ARGUMENTS". Structure a team reflection on what went well, what didn't, and what to improve.

## Prerequisites

None — utility skill, run anytime.

## Process

1. **Set the context:**
   - What period or project is this retro for?
   - Who participated? What was the scope?

2. **Structure the retro (Start/Stop/Continue format):**
   - **Start:** What should we begin doing?
   - **Stop:** What should we stop doing?
   - **Continue:** What's working well and should continue?

3. **Dig deeper:**
   - For each item: why? What's the root cause?
   - What patterns repeat from previous retros?
   - Are there systemic issues to address?

4. **Define action items:**
   - Convert insights into 2-3 specific, assignable actions
   - Each action has an owner and a deadline
   - Focus on highest-impact changes

5. **Write the artifact** to `.metapowers/leadership/$ARGUMENTS/retro.md` with sections:
   - **Context** — period, team, scope
   - **Start** — new practices to adopt
   - **Stop** — practices to drop
   - **Continue** — practices to maintain
   - **Action Items** — owner, action, deadline

## Output

The retro summary written to `.metapowers/leadership/$ARGUMENTS/retro.md`. Present the key insights and action items to the user.
