The facts

Its description

The description the agent reads to decide when to use it.

From its settingsline 3

When it starts

The agent picks this skill when the user asks to run a retrospective over a finished epic in the ticket tree, or names an epic to retro. It is also the stable entry point for an orchestrator calling it headless with an epic folder, id, or slug.

Things a person might say (the model's guesses)

  • “run a retrospective”
  • “lets retro the epic epic-checkout-flow”
  • “retro the epic payments, we just finished it”
