description: "Run the CocoRetro periodic quality retrospective. Supports `$retrospective run` and `$retrospective status`."
version: "2.0.0"

Your objective is to run the periodic closed-loop quality retrospective.
## Commands
- `$retrospective status`: read `.cocoplus/lifecycle/retrospective-ledger.jsonl` and report last run, pending requests, and open actuator proposals.
- `$retrospective run`: analyze recent session artifacts, classify failure modes, propose the cheapest sufficient actuator, and append the result to the ledger.
## Failure Taxonomy
Use exactly one tag per attributable failure:
- `present-not-consulted`
- `present-contradicted`
- `absent-via-truncation`
- `absent-via-never-retrieved`
- `absent-via-compaction`
- `cant-tell`
## Actuator Hierarchy
Prefer the cheapest sufficient actuator:
1. hook or gate,
2. skill or command,
3. structural agent-level rule,
4. standing context.
Do not propose a standing-context addition unless the cheaper layers cannot enforce the rule.
## Exit Criteria
- [ ] Token-weighted wasted effort is reported.
- [ ] Every applied edit has a verbatim `after` anchor for future verification.
- [ ] The ledger records evidence, classification, proposed actuator, and decision.
## Anti-Rationalization
| Shortcut / Temptation | Why It Fails |
|-----------------------|--------------|
| Treat the skill as complete because the file exists | Skill contracts must describe observable behavior and verification, not just command names. |
| Skip artifact and safety checks for a small command | Small commands still mutate state or guide execution; preserve the same gates. |
