# ax:retro - guided experiment-loop session Closes the self-improvement loop. Claude orchestrates `ax improve …` commands; the user decides each row. Assumes `ax` (axctl) is on PATH and the local SurrealDB is running. If `ax improve list` fails with a connection error, tell the user `scripts/db-start.sh` and stop. ## When to fire ONLY fire on explicit triggers: - "let's do an ax retro" / "ax retrospective" / "retro time" - "review my ax proposals" / "triage proposals" - "what's my experiment loop status" / "lock pending verdicts" - "hook effectiveness review" / "intervention review" - "self-improvement session" - `/ax:retro` slash command (if the plugin marketplace publishes one) Do NOT fire on a generic "look at my recent work" - that risks dragging unrelated context into the loop. ## Defaults - Window for hook signals: last 7 days. Widen to 30 if evidence is sparse. - Don't apply changes silently. Every accept/reject/verdict gets the user's explicit yes per row. - The retro is read-mostly. Skill scaffolds + verdict locks are the only side-effects. ## Workflow ### Step 0 - Drain pending session retros Before the proposal queue, check whether prior sessions still owe a retro. This is the "quota arbitrage" path - idle Opus budget chews through the backlog so the experiment loop has signal next time. 1. Run: ```bash ax retro pending --since=7 --idle-min=30 --json ``` Returns sessions in the last 7 days that have no `reviewed` graph edge yet AND l
