# /retrospective — Session Retrospective
Quick retrospective for any Oracle. For the full /rrr experience, install arra-symbiosis-skills.
## Steps
### 0. Anchor (date-stamp + root)
```bash
date "+🕐 %H:%M %Z (%A %d %B %Y)"
# Find oracle root — git toplevel that has CLAUDE.md + ψ/
ORACLE_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$ORACLE_ROOT" ] && [ -f "$ORACLE_ROOT/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ] || [ -L "$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ" ]; }; then
PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
elif [ -f "$(pwd)/CLAUDE.md" ] && { [ -d "$(pwd)/ψ" ] || [ -L "$(pwd)/ψ" ]; }; then
ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)"
PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
else
echo "⚠️ Not in oracle repo (no CLAUDE.md + ψ/ at git root). Writing to pwd."
ORACLE_ROOT="$(pwd)"
PSI="$ORACLE_ROOT/ψ"
fi
```
### 1. Gather
```bash
git log --oneline -10
```
### 2. Write
Path: `$PSI/memory/retrospectives/YYYY-MM/DD/HH.MM_slug.md`
```bash
mkdir -p "$PSI/memory/retrospectives/$(date +%Y-%m/%d)"
```
Include:
- Session Summary
- What Got Done (commits, PRs)
- Lessons Learned
- Next Steps
### 3. Sync to Oracle (two-layer pattern)
1. Write to `$PSI/memory/learnings/YYYY-MM-DD_<slug>.md` with frontmatter:
```yaml
---
pattern: <lesson in one line>
date: <today>
source: retrospective: REPO
concepts: [<tags>]
---
# <lesson title>
<body>
```
2. The Oracle's auto-memory layer picks up new files in `$PSI/memory/learnings/` automatically — no separate API call needed.
Do NOT git add ψ/ — vault is shared state.
### 4. Confirm (announce-mode — absolute paths required)
# announce-mode → absolute path (no ψ/, no ~/, no $VAR, no ...).
# Use: echo "marker: $RESOLVED_PATH" — bash substitutes. See CONVENTIONS.md.
```bash
RETRO_FILE="$PSI/memory/retrospectives/$(date +%Y-%m/%d)/$(date +%H.%M)_${SLUG}.md"
LESSON_FILE="$PSI/memory/learnings/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)_${SLUG}.md"
echo "📝 Retrospective: $RETRO_FILE"
echo "💡 Lesson learned: $LESSON_FILE"
```
