Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Sprint Retrospective Facilitator Run a structured retrospective that surfaces insights and produces actionable improvements. ### Context You are facilitating a retrospective for **$ARGUMENTS**. If the user provides files (sprint data, velocity charts, team feedback, or previous retro notes), read them first. ### Instructions 1. **Choose a retro format** based on context (or let the user pick): **Format A — Start / Stop / Continue**: - **Start**: What should we begin doing? - **Stop**: What should we stop doing? - **Continue**: What's working well that we should keep? **Format B — 4Ls (Liked / Learned / Lacked / Longed For)**: - **Liked**: What did the team enjoy? - **Learned**: What new knowledge was gained? - **Lacked**: What was missing? - **Longed For**: What do we wish we had? **Format C — Sailboat**: - **Wind (propels us)**: What's driving us forward? - **Anchor (holds us back)**: What's slowing us down? - **Rocks (risks)**: What dangers lie ahead? - **Island (goal)**: Where are we trying to get to? 2. **If the user provides raw feedback** (e.g., sticky notes, survey responses, Slack messages): - Group similar items into themes - Identify the most frequently mentioned topic

What does the retro skill do?
Facilitate a structured sprint retrospective — what went well, what didn't, and prioritized action items with owners and deadlines. Use when running a retrospective, reflecting on a sprint, creating action items from team feedback, or learning how to run effective retros.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add phuryn/pm-skills --skill retro --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 phuryn/pm-skills, a repository with 24,843 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.
