| name | common-session-retrospective |
| description | Analyze conversation corrections to detect skill gaps and prepare targeted skill-library maintenance tasks. Use after any session with user corrections, rework, or retrospective requests. After finding correction loops, also load +common/common-learning-log to persist mistake entries to AGENTS_LEARNING.md. |

Protocol
- Extract — Scan for correction signals (loops, rejections, shape mismatches, lint rework)
- Classify — Root cause: Skill Missing | Incomplete | Example Contradicts Rule | Workflow Gap | Trigger Miss
- Trigger Miss Check — For every task in session, ask: " relevant skill available but not loaded?"
- If yes: record skill ID, indirect phrase used, and fix (add keyword alias to triggers)
- Propose — One fix per root cause: revise existing guidance, update reference, add new skill, or add new workflow
- Implement — Only when current task explicitly authorizes repository maintenance, apply the approved repo changes across configured agent dirs. Keep SKILL.md concise; move large tables to
references/. Update AGENTS.md
- Log to AGENTS_LEARNING.md — For each correction loop found, append one entry using
common/common-learning-log protocol (Signal: Session retrospective)
- Report — Output correction count, skills changed, trigger misses found, estimated rounds saved
Trigger Miss Output
Emit trigger miss block (schema in references/methodology.md) for each miss detected.
Guidelines
- Cite specifics: Reference concrete conversation moment per proposal
- Extend first: Search
AGENTS.md before creating — extend existing guidance first
- One fix per loop: One correction → one targeted skill change
- Stay task-scoped: Only change repository library source during explicit maintenance work for the repository
- Sync all agents: Apply to every agent skill dir listed in
.skillsrc agents field
- Follow skill-creator: New skills comply with
common/skill-creator standards
Anti-Patterns
- No Vague Proposals: Cite exact gap + fix, not "make X better"
- No Duplicate Skills: Search AGENTS.md index first
- No Oversized Patches: Extract to
references/ per skill-creator standard
