# retro — make the session teach the next one A lesson learned and left in the transcript is lost at the next compaction. This skill writes what was learned into `RONIN.md`, the project memory Ronin loads on every future session, so the same wall is not hit twice. 1. **Mine the session for durable lessons.** Look for the things that would have saved time if known at the start, and keep only what is still true next week: - a convention or invariant this codebase enforces that was not obvious, - the command that actually runs the tests / lint / build, - a trap that cost real time, and the shape that avoids it, - a decision made and the reason, so it is not relitigated. Skip the one-off and the merely narrated — memory that fills with noise stops being read. 2. **Find the memory file.** `glob "RONIN.md"` (and check any nearer one for the subtree you worked in — the closer file wins at load time). If none exists, you will create one at the project root. 3. **Read before writing.** `read` the current `RONIN.md` so you extend it rather than clobber it, and so you do not add a note that is already there or now contradicts one that is. 4. **Write the lessons in.** Each entry is one or two lines, imperative and specific — "run `uv run pytest tests/ext -q`, not bare `pytest`," not "testing is important." Group them under a clear heading. Use `edit` to append to an existing file (match a unique anchor near the end); use `write` only to crea
