Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
<!-- PM-Skills | https://github.com/product-on-purpose/pm-skills | Apache 2.0 --> # Retrospective A retrospective is a structured reflection that helps teams learn from their experiences and continuously improve. By regularly examining what went well, what didn't, and what to change, teams build a culture of learning and adaptation. The value isn't just in the discussion.it's in the documented actions and follow-through. ## When to Use - At the end of every sprint (for agile teams) - After completing a significant project or milestone - Following a major incident or outage - When team dynamics feel off and need addressing - At regular intervals (monthly, quarterly) even without specific triggers - When onboarding new team members to establish improvement culture ## When NOT to Use - You want one durable learning banked for the organization -> use `iterate-lessons-log`; the retro is the ceremony, the log entry outlives it - You are scoring an OKR cycle at close -> use `measure-okr-grader` - The reflection must end in a pivot-or-persevere call -> use `iterate-pivot-decision` - You need a recap of a general (non-retro) meeting -> use `foundation-meeting-recap` ## Instructions When ask

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add product-on-purpose/pm-skills --skill iterate-retrospective --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From product-on-purpose/pm-skills, a repository with 518 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
