## What it does

The command inspects recent sprint progress using Claude Code tools: `Read`, `Write`, `Bash`, and `Glob`. It counts commits from the past two weeks via `git log` and pulls sprint metrics directly through Linear MCP.

Its framework covers sprint velocity, review habits, process bottlenecks, and workload distribution. Flags let you narrow the output to raw metrics (`--metrics`), generated findings (`--insights`), prioritized tasks (`--action-items`), or multi-sprint history (`--trends`).

Linear MCP must be configured to inspect tickets and task completion. Without it, the prompt relies strictly on Git logs and local retrospective notes.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **claude-code-templates**
```bash
npx claude-code-templates@latest --command team/retrospective-analyzer
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/retrospective-analyzer.md` — Call it with /retrospective-analyzer. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### Codex

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/retrospective-analyzer.md` — Call it with /prompts:retrospective-analyzer. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/retrospective-analyzer.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/retrospective-analyzer.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/davila7/claude-code-templates/tree/HEAD/cli-tool/components/commands/team/retrospective-analyzer.md

## When to use it
- Count two-week git commit volumes automatically
- Retrieve sprint completion stats from Linear MCP
- Track multi-sprint performance using `--trends`
- Extract prioritized process fixes with `--action-items`

## Example prompts
- /retrospective-analyzer sprint-24 --metrics
- /retrospective-analyzer --action-items
- /retrospective-analyzer --trends

# Retrospective Analyzer

Analyze team retrospectives with comprehensive metrics and actionable improvement insights: **$ARGUMENTS**

## Current Retrospective Context

- Sprint period: !`git log --oneline --since='2 weeks ago' | wc -l` commits in recent sprint
- Team activity: Analysis of recent collaboration patterns and productivity metrics
- Linear sprint: Current sprint data and completion metrics from Linear MCP
- Previous retrospectives: Historical retrospective data and improvement tracking

## Task

Execute comprehensive retrospective analysis with quantitative insights and improvement recommendations:

**Analysis Focus**: Use $ARGUMENTS to specify sprint identifier, quantitative metrics, insight generation, action item tracking, or trend analysis

**Retrospective Analysis Framework**:
1. **Sprint Performance Analysis** - Analyze velocity trends, completion rates, cycle time metrics, quality indicators
2. **Team Collaboration Assessment** - Evaluate communication patterns, code review effectiveness, knowledge sharing, pair programming impact
3. **Process Effectiveness** - Assess meeting efficiency, planning accuracy, impediment resolution, workflow optimization
4. **Quality Metrics** - Analyze bug rates, technical debt accumulation, code review quality, testing effectiveness
5. **Individual Contribution** - Evaluate workload distribution, skill development, mentorship activities, cross-training progress
6. **Actionable Insights Generation** - Identify improvement opportunities, prioritize action items, track progress, measure impact

**Advanced Features**: Trend analysis across multiple sprints, predictive performance modeling, team satisfaction correlation, continuous improvement tracking.

**Insight Quality**: Data-driven recommendations, quantified improvement potential, implementation feasibility, success measurement criteria.

**Output**: Comprehensive retrospective analysis with quantitative metrics, actionable insights, prioritized improvements, and progress tracking framework.
