Retrospective

Overview

A meta skill that helps Elle actively improve over time. Captures friction from working sessions, routes findings to the correct context file, and closes the loop on past proposals.

Core Principle: Only log what the user confirms. Observable friction is the only valid signal — never guess or infer problems that didn't surface.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• User triggers /retrospective at end of a session
• User corrects Claude's output mid-session
• User asks Claude to redo work
• User expresses frustration or dissatisfaction
• Same topic required 3+ back-and-forth rounds without resolution
• User overrides Claude's approach ("Don't do it that way", "Skip that step")
