# prompt-retro
The meta-loop: the setup studies its own usage and proposes its next improvement. Born from a
full-history audit (thousands of human prompts) that found rituals were being codified at
rep ~25 instead of rep ~3. This skill makes that audit cheap and recurring, so the gap shrinks
to one retro cycle.
## State
In this skill dir:
- `retro-log.md` — one section per run: date, window, lens, metrics, proposals. Read it first;
the current run's window starts where the last one ended.
- `briefs/YYYY-MM-DD.md` — the FULL brief of every past run, exactly as delivered. **Read the
last 2-3 briefs before writing anything**: they are the record of what the user has already been
told. A finding repeated verbatim across briefs is noise; either drop it, or escalate it
explicitly ("third retro in a row — this isn't getting fixed, here's why I think that is").
Save the current run's brief here before surfacing it.
## Protocol
1. **Extract.** `python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/extract_prompts.py" <scratch-dir>/digests --since <last-run-date>`
— walks every `~/.claude*` config dir, keeps only human-typed prompts (drops task-notifications,
hook/judge prompts, harness runs), writes one digest per project with session headers
(interrupts, slash-commands) and timestamped prompts.
2. **Fan out analysis agents** (one per major project digest + one quantitative cross-cutting pass), each reporting:
- recurring task types prompted by hand (with counts + verbatim examples)
