Weekly retro skill — surface candidates for packaging into skills
Same prompt typed 4 times this week. Agent flags repeated sequences as skill candidates so personal automation compounds.
What
Once a week, an agent reviews all GitHub Issues closed in the current ISO week (its memory store — see #127) and flags repeated sequences as candidates to be packaged into reusable skills. You get a ranked list: "you did X manually 4 times this week — promote to skill?"
Why it matters
Compounds personal automation. Every week the operator's AI ops get slightly more efficient instead of stagnating at "I keep typing the same prompt."
End-to-end
- Prerequisite: every task creates a GitHub Issue (see #127 Project-as-Memory).
- Tag each Issue with the ISO week (e.g.
week-19-2026). - Sunday cron or manual trigger runs the
weekly-retroskill: "review allweek-19-2026issues. Cluster by action pattern. For each cluster ≥3 items, propose a skill name + one-paragraph description." - Skim the output. Promote 1–2 top candidates into actual skill files in
skills/. - The next week's retro should show those former candidates as "now automated."
Gotchas
- Don't promote everything. Three repetitions is the floor; below that you're encoding noise.
- The skill suggestions read smarter than they are — review with skepticism. A skill that needs five prompt-tweaks per run is worse than no skill.
Tools
- GitHub Issues used as task memory (see #127)
- Claude Code / Codex with skills support
