Session Retrospective

Start from observed friction, corrections, repeated work, uncertainty, and successful shortcuts. Distinguish a one-off event from a reusable pattern.

Use interactive questions to test why an event happened and where the smallest durable fix belongs: current prompt, personal instructions, repository guidance, skill, automation, tool, or no persistent change.

Recommend changes only when the expected benefit exceeds the added context and maintenance cost. Prefer deleting or narrowing guidance over adding another duplicate rule. Do not update instructions, skills, or memory without explicit authorization.

Read references/dimensions.md for analysis lenses and references/subagent-guide.md only when delegated evidence gathering is useful and permitted.
