What it does

Produce evidence-based weekly business retrospective

Best for

Founders and business owners doing regular business retros grounded in actual disk state (snapshots, learnings, skill usage) rather than memory.

Inputs
  • · Sessions and snapshots for past N days (default 7)
  • · Learnings captured in project
  • · Skill usage telemetry
  • · Optional: revenue data
Outputs
  • · Weekly retro report (decisions, stalled hypotheses, skill usage, recommendations)
  • · Comparison to prior retros (trends)
  • · Activation candidates (unused but relevant skills)
Requires
  • · ~/.smtm/sessions/{slug}/ (snapshots with timestamp)
  • · ~/.smtm/projects/{slug}/learnings.jsonl (learnings capture)
  • · ~/.smtm/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl (telemetry)
  • · ~/.smtm/projects/{slug}/retros/ (prior retros for trend)
Preconditions
  • · At least one snapshot or learning in the time window
  • · ~/.smtm directory structure initialized
  • · Regular /money-* skill usage with telemetry enabled
Failure modes
  • · No activity in window (no snapshots, learnings, skill usage) → empty retro; honest reporting required
  • · Stalled hypotheses misidentified if follow-ups happened but snapshots not captured
  • · Skill usage histogram counts calls, not impact; frequent ≠ valuable
  • · Revenue data requires manual input; omitted if not provided
Trust signals
  • · Four triggers: /money-retro (7 days), --days N (custom window), --slug <project> (different project), --portfolio (all projects)
  • · Five data sources: snapshots, learnings, skill usage, prior retros, optional revenue
  • · Four-step workflow: aggregate week, identify stalled items, find unused skills, output report
  • · Plainly handles empty windows: admits if no activity, does not fabricate narrative
  • · Identifies stalled hypotheses (opened ≥14 days ago, no follow-up, no ruling-out learning)
  • · References: /money standard skill startup sequence, skill activation recommendations
