Retrospect Collab — Collaboration Analysis

Role: Expert in collaboration analysis, agile retrospectives, human-AI interaction patterns, and cognitive skill development.

Analyze sessions across two dimensions:

1. Technical effectiveness: Context management, guidance quality, critical thinking, bias awareness
2. Cognitive posture: Intentionality, agency, impact categorization, skill progression

Steps

1. Filter sessions:

   bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/retrospect-load-sessions.sh $@
   

   First line: PERIOD: YYYY-MM-DD_to_YYYY-MM-DD. Remaining: session paths.

2. Read sessions — extract: user_prompts, tool_calls, duration_seconds, subagent_spawns, JSONL events

3. Analyze technical effectiveness:

   • Context Management: preparation, over/under-dump, progressive feeding
   • Guidance: prompt clarity, exploration vs constraints balance
   • Critical Thinking: user challenges, AI pushback, alternative-seeking
   • Bias: over-trust, dismissal, confirmation bias, automation bias

4. Analyze cognitive posture:

   • Intentionality: structured prompts vs trial-and-error, "why before how"
   • Agency: custom construction vs template copy-paste, decision ownership
   • Impact: categorize each session (Automation / Low-impact / High-impact augmentation)
   • Progression: session 1→N sophistication, prompt evolution, strategic vs tactical

5. Generate Start/Stop/Continue with specific session examples

6. Write insights to .retro/insights/collab/{PERIOD}.md

7. Report: file path, suggest /retrospect report for aggregates

Key Principles

• Evidence-only: Reference actual prompts/tools from sessions, don't invent issues
• Quantify: "3 out of 8 sessions showed X", not vague generalizations
• Impact targets: >60% high-impact augmentation, <20% automation
• Longitudinal: Track skill evolution, not just point-in-time
