+## Detect default branch
+
+Before gathering data, detect the repo's default branch name:
+`gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name`
+
+If this fails, fall back to `main`. Use the detected name wherever the instructions
+say `origin/<default>` below.

+# /retro — Weekly Engineering Retrospective
+
+Generates a comprehensive engineering retrospective analyzing commit history, work patterns, and code quality metrics. Team-aware: identifies the user running the command, then analyzes every contributor with per-person praise and growth opportunities. Designed for a senior IC/CTO-level builder using Claude Code as a force multiplier.
+
+## User-invocable
+When the user types `/retro`, run this skill.
+
+## Arguments
+- `/retro` — default: last 7 days
+- `/retro 24h` — last 24 hours
+- `/retro 14d` — last 14 days
+- `/retro 30d` — last 30 days
+- `/retro compare` — compare current window vs prior same-length window
+- `/retro compare 14d` — compare with explicit window
+- `/retro global` — cross-project retro across all AI coding tools (7d default)
+- `/retro global 14d` — cross-project retro with explicit window
+
+## Instructions
+
+Parse the argument to determine the time window. Default to 7 days if no argument given. All times should be reported in the user's **local timezone** (use the system default — do NOT set `TZ`).
+
+**Midnight-aligned windows:** For day (`d`) and week (`w`) units, compute an absolute start date at local midnight, not a relative string. For example, if today is 2026-03-18 and the window is 7 days: the start date is 2026-03-11. Use `--since="2026-03-11T00:00:00"` for git log queries — the explicit `T00:00:00` suffix ensures git starts from midnight. Without it, git uses the current wall-clock time (e.g., `--since="2026-03-11"` at 11pm means 11pm, not midnight). For week units, multiply by 7 to get days (e.g., `2w` = 14 days back). For hour (`h`) units, use `--since="N hours ago"` since midnight alignment does not apply to sub-day windows.
+
+**Argument validation:** If the argument doesn't match a number followed by `d`, `h`, or `w`, the word `compare` (optionally followed by a window), or the word `global` (optionally followed by a window), show this usage and stop:
+```
+Usage: /retro [window | compare | global]
+  /retro              — last 7 days (default)
+  /retro 24h          — last 24 hours
+  /retro 14d          — last 14 days
+  /retro 30d          — last 30 days
+  /retro compare      — compare this period vs prior period
+  /retro compare 14d  — compare with explicit window
+  /retro global       — cross-project retro across all AI tools (7d default)
+  /retro global 14d   — cross-project retro with explicit window
+```
+
+**If the first argument is `global`:** Skip the normal repo-scoped retro (Steps 1-14). Instead, follow the **Global Retrospective** flow at the end of this document. The optional second argument is the time window (default 7d). This mode does NOT require being inside a git repo.
+
+### Step 1: Gather Raw Data
+
+First, fetch origin and identify the current user:
+```bash
+git fetch origin <default> --quiet
+# Identify who is running the retro
+git config user.name
+git config user.email
+```
+
+The name returned by `git config user.name` is **"you"** — the person reading this retro. All other authors are teammates. Use this to orient the narrative: "your" commits vs teammate contributions.
+
+Run ALL of these git commands in parallel (they are independent):
+
+```bash
+# 1. All commits in window with timestamps, subject, hash, AUTHOR, files changed, insertions, deletions
+git log origin/<default> --since="<window>" --format="%H|%aN|%ae|%ai|%s" --shortstat
+
+# 2. Per-commit test vs total LOC breakdown with author
+#    Each commit block starts with COMMIT:<hash>|<author>, followed by numstat lines.
+#    Separate test files (matching test/|spec/|__tests__/) from production files.
+git log origin/<default> --since="<window>" --format="COMMIT:%H|%aN" --numstat
+
+# 3. Commit timestamps for session detection and hourly distribution (with author)
+git log origin/<default> --since="<window>" --format="%at|%aN|%ai|%s" | sort -n
+
+# 4. Files most frequently changed (hotspot analysis)
+git log origin/<default> --since="<window>" --format="" --name-only | grep -v '^$' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
+
+# 5. PR numbers from commit messages (extract #NNN patterns)
+git log origin/<default> --since="<window>" --format="%s" | grep -oE '#[0-9]+' | sed 's/^#//' | sort -n | uniq | sed 's/^/#/'
+
+# 6. Per-author file hotspots (who touches what)
+git log origin/<default> --since="<window>" --format="AUTHOR:%aN" --name-only
+
+# 7. Per-author commit counts (quick summary)
+git shortlog origin/<default> --since="<window>" -sn --no-merges
+
+# 8. Greptile triage history (if available)
+cat ~/.gstack/greptile-history.md 2>/dev/null || true
+
+# 9. TODOS.md backlog (if available)
+cat TODOS.md 2>/dev/null || true
+
+# 10. Test file count
+find . -name '*.test.*' -o -name '*.spec.*' -o -name '*_test.*' -o -name '*_spec.*' 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | wc -l
+
+# 11. Regression test commits in window
+git log origin/<default> --since="<window>" --oneline --grep="test(qa):" --grep="test(design):" --grep="test: coverage"
+
+# 12. gstack skill usage telemetry (if available)
+cat ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
+
+# 12. Test files changed in window
+git log origin/<default> --since="<window>" --format="" --name-only | grep -E '\.(test|spec)\.' | sort -u | wc -l
+```
+
+### Step 2: Compute Metrics
+
+Calculate and present these metrics in a summary table:
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Commits to main | N |
+| Contributors | N |
+| PRs merged | N |
+| Total insertions | N |
+| Total deletions | N |
+| Net LOC added | N |
+| Test LOC (insertions) | N |
+| Test LOC ratio | N% |
+| Version range | vX.Y.Z.W → vX.Y.Z.W |
+| Active days | N |
+| Detected sessions | N |
+| Avg LOC/session-hour | N |
+| Greptile signal | N% (Y catches, Z FPs) |
+| Test Health | N total tests · M added this period · K regression tests |
+
+Then show a **per-author leaderboard** immediately below:
+
+```
+Contributor         Commits   +/-          Top area
+You (garry)              32   +2400/-300   browse/
+alice                    12   +800/-150    app/services/
+bob                       3   +120/-40     tests/
+```
+
+Sort by commits descending. The current user (from `git config user.name`) always appears first, labeled "You (name)".
+
+**Greptile signal (if history exists):** Read `~/.gstack/greptile-history.md` (fetched in Step 1, command 8). Filter entries within the retro time window by date. Count entries by type: `fix`, `fp`, `already-fixed`. Compute signal ratio: `(fix + already-fixed) / (fix + already-fixed + fp)`. If no entries exist in the window or the file doesn't exist, skip the Greptile metric row. Skip unparseable lines silently.
+
+**Backlog Health (if TODOS.md exists):** Read `TODOS.md` (fetched in Step 1, command 9). Compute:
+- Total open TODOs (exclude items in `## Completed` section)
+- P0/P1 count (critical/urgent items)
+- P2 count (important items)
+- Items completed this period (items in Completed section with dates within the retro window)
+- Items added this period (cross-reference git log for commits that modified TODOS.md within the window)
+
+Include in the metrics table:
+```
+| Backlog Health | N open (X P0/P1, Y P2) · Z completed this period |
+```
+
+If TODOS.md doesn't exist, skip the Backlog Health row.
+
+**Skill Usage (if analytics exist):** Read `~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl` if it exists. Filter entries within the retro time window by `ts` field. Separate skill activations (no `event` field) from hook fires (`event: "hook_fire"`). Aggregate by skill name. Present as:
+
+```
+| Skill Usage | /ship(12) /qa(8) /review(5) · 3 safety hook fires |
+```
+
+If the JSONL file doesn't exist or has no entries in the window, skip the Skill Usage row.
+
+**Eureka Moments (if logged):** Read `~/.gstack/analytics/eureka.jsonl` if it exists. Filter entries within the retro time window by `ts` field. For each eureka moment, show the skill that flagged it, the branch, and a one-line summary of the insight. Present as:
+
+```
+| Eureka Moments | 2 this period |
+```
+
+If moments exist, list them:
+```
+  EUREKA /office-hours (branch: garrytan/auth-rethink): "Session tokens don't need server storage — browser crypto API makes client-side JWT validation viable"
+  EUREKA /plan-eng-review (branch: garrytan/cache-layer): "Redis isn't needed here — Bun's built-in LRU cache handles this workload"
+```
+
+If the JSONL file doesn't exist or has no entries in the window, skip the Eureka Moments row.
+
+### Step 3: Commit Time Distribution
+
+Show hourly histogram in local time using bar chart:
+
+```
+Hour  Commits  ████████████████
+ 00:    4      ████
+ 07:    5      █████
+ ...
+```
+
+Identify and call out:
+- Peak hours
+- Dead zones
+- Whether pattern is bimodal (morning/evening) or continuous
+- Late-night coding clusters (after 10pm)
+
+### Step 4: Work Session Detection
+
+Detect sessions using **45-minute gap** threshold between consecutive commits. For each session report:
+- Start/end time (Pacific)
+- Number of commits
+- Duration in minutes
+
+Classify sessions:
+- **Deep sessions** (50+ min)
+- **Medium sessions** (20-50 min)
+- **Micro sessions** (<20 min, typically single-commit fire-and-forget)
+
+Calculate:
+- Total active coding time (sum of session durations)
+- Average session length
+- LOC per hour of active time
+
+### Step 5: Commit Type Breakdown
+
+Categorize by conventional commit prefix (feat/fix/refactor/test/chore/docs). Show as percentage bar:
+
+```
+feat:     20  (40%)  ████████████████████
+fix:      27  (54%)  ███████████████████████████
+refactor:  2  ( 4%)  ██
+```
+
+Flag if fix ratio exceeds 50% — this signals a "ship fast, fix fast" pattern that may indicate review gaps.
+
+### Step 6: Hotspot Analysis
+
+Show top 10 most-changed files. Flag:
+- Files changed 5+ times (churn hotspots)
+- Test files vs production files in the hotspot list
+- VERSION/CHANGELOG frequency (version discipline indicator)
+
+### Step 7: PR Size Distribution
+
+From commit diffs, estimate PR sizes and bucket them:
+- **Small** (<100 LOC)
+- **Medium** (100-500 LOC)
+- **Large** (500-1500 LOC)
+- **XL** (1500+ LOC)
+
+### Step 8: Focus Score + Ship of the Week
+
+**Focus score:** Calculate the percentage of commits touching the single most-changed top-level directory (e.g., `app/services/`, `app/views/`). Higher score = deeper focused work. Lower score = scattered context-switching. Report as: "Focus score: 62% (app/services/)"
+
+**Ship of the week:** Auto-identify the single highest-LOC PR in the window. Highlight it:
+- PR number and title
+- LOC changed
+- Why it matters (infer from commit messages and files touched)
+
+### Step 9: Team Member Analysis
+
+For each contributor (including the current user), compute:
+
+1. **Commits and LOC** — total commits, insertions, deletions, net LOC
+2. **Areas of focus** — which directories/files they touched most (top 3)
+3. **Commit type mix** — their personal feat/fix/refactor/test breakdown
+4. **Session patterns** — when they code (their peak hours), session count
+5. **Test discipline** — their personal test LOC ratio
+6. **Biggest ship** — their single highest-impact commit or PR in the window
+
+**For the current user ("You"):** This section gets the deepest treatment. Include all the detail from the solo retro — session analysis, time patterns, focus score. Frame it in first person: "Your peak hours...", "Your biggest ship..."
+
+**For each teammate:** Write 2-3 sentences covering what they worked on and their pattern. Then:
+
+- **Praise** (1-2 specific things): Anchor in actual commits. Not "great work" — say exactly what was good. Examples: "Shipped the entire auth middleware rewrite in 3 focused sessions with 45% test coverage", "Every PR under 200 LOC — disciplined decomposition."
+- **Opportunity for growth** (1 specific thing): Frame as a leveling-up suggestion, not criticism. Anchor in actual data. Examples: "Test ratio was 12% this week — adding test coverage to the payment module before it gets more complex would pay off", "5 fix commits on the same file suggest the original PR could have used a review pass."
+
+**If only one contributor (solo repo):** Skip the team breakdown and proceed as before — the retro is personal.
+
+**If there are Co-Authored-By trailers:** Parse `Co-Authored-By:` lines in commit messages. Credit those authors for the commit alongside the primary author. Note AI co-authors (e.g., `noreply@anthropic.com`) but do not include them as team members — instead, track "AI-assisted commits" as a separate metric.
+
+### Step 10: Week-over-Week Trends (if window >= 14d)
+
+If the time window is 14 days or more, split into weekly buckets and show trends:
+- Commits per week (total and per-author)
+- LOC per week
+- Test ratio per week
+- Fix ratio per week
+- Session count per week
+
+### Step 11: Streak Tracking
+
+Count consecutive days with at least 1 commit to origin/<default>, going back from today. Track both team streak and personal streak:
+
+```bash
+# Team streak: all unique commit dates (local time) — no hard cutoff
+git log origin/<default> --format="%ad" --date=format:"%Y-%m-%d" | sort -u
+
+# Personal streak: only the current user's commits
+git log origin/<default> --author="<user_name>" --format="%ad" --date=format:"%Y-%m-%d" | sort -u
+```
+
+Count backward from today — how many consecutive days have at least one commit? This queries the full history so streaks of any length are reported accurately. Display both:
+- "Team shipping streak: 47 consecutive days"
+- "Your shipping streak: 32 consecutive days"
+
+### Step 12: Load History & Compare
+
+Before saving the new snapshot, check for prior retro history:
+
+```bash
+ls -t .context/retros/*.json 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+**If prior retros exist:** Load the most recent one using the Read tool. Calculate deltas for key metrics and include a **Trends vs Last Retro** section:
+```
+                    Last        Now         Delta
+Test ratio:         22%    →    41%         ↑19pp
+Sessions:           10     →    14          ↑4
+LOC/hour:           200    →    350         ↑75%
+Fix ratio:          54%    →    30%         ↓24pp (improving)
+Commits:            32     →    47          ↑47%
+Deep sessions:      3      →    5           ↑2
+```
+
+**If no prior retros exist:** Skip the comparison section and append: "First retro recorded — run again next week to see trends."
+
+### Step 13: Save Retro History
+
+After computing all metrics (including streak) and loading any prior history for comparison, save a JSON snapshot:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p .context/retros
+```
+
+Determine the next sequence number for today (substitute the actual date for `$(date +%Y-%m-%d)`):
+```bash
+# Count existing retros for today to get next sequence number
+today=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
+existing=$(ls .context/retros/${today}-*.json 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
+next=$((existing + 1))
+# Save as .context/retros/${today}-${next}.json
+```
+
+Use the Write tool to save the JSON file with this schema:
+```json
+{
+  "date": "2026-03-08",
+  "window": "7d",
+  "metrics": {
+    "commits": 47,
+    "contributors": 3,
+    "prs_merged": 12,
+    "insertions": 3200,
+    "deletions": 800,
+    "net_loc": 2400,
+    "test_loc": 1300,
+    "test_ratio": 0.41,
+    "active_days": 6,
+    "sessions": 14,
+    "deep_sessions": 5,
+    "avg_session_minutes": 42,
+    "loc_per_session_hour": 350,
+    "feat_pct": 0.40,
+    "fix_pct": 0.30,
+    "peak_hour": 22,
+    "ai_assisted_commits": 32
+  },
+  "authors": {
+    "Garry Tan": { "commits": 32, "insertions": 2400, "deletions": 300, "test_ratio": 0.41, "top_area": "browse/" },
+    "Alice": { "commits": 12, "insertions": 800, "deletions": 150, "test_ratio": 0.35, "top_area": "app/services/" }
+  },
+  "version_range": ["1.16.0.0", "1.16.1.0"],
+  "streak_days": 47,
+  "tweetable": "Week of Mar 1: 47 commits (3 contributors), 3.2k LOC, 38% tests, 12 PRs, peak: 10pm",
+  "greptile": {
+    "fixes": 3,
+    "fps": 1,
+    "already_fixed": 2,
+    "signal_pct": 83
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** Only include the `greptile` field if `~/.gstack/greptile-history.md` exists and has entries within the time window. Only include the `backlog` field if `TODOS.md` exists. Only include the `test_health` field if test files were found (command 10 returns > 0). If any has no data, omit the field entirely.
+
+Include test health data in the JSON when test files exist:
+```json
+  "test_health": {
+    "total_test_files": 47,
+    "tests_added_this_period": 5,
+    "regression_test_commits": 3,
+    "test_files_changed": 8
+  }
+```
+
+Include backlog data in the JSON when TODOS.md exists:
+```json
+  "backlog": {
+    "total_open": 28,
+    "p0_p1": 2,
+    "p2": 8,
+    "completed_this_period": 3,
+    "added_this_period": 1
+  }
+```
+
+### Step 14: Write the Narrative
+
+Structure the output as:
+
+---
+
+**Tweetable summary** (first line, before everything else):
+```
+Week of Mar 1: 47 commits (3 contributors), 3.2k LOC, 38% tests, 12 PRs, peak: 10pm | Streak: 47d
+```
+
+## Engineering Retro: [date range]
+
+### Summary Table
+(from Step 2)
+
+### Trends vs Last Retro
+(from Step 11, loaded before save — skip if first retro)
+
+### Time & Session Patterns
+(from Steps 3-4)
+
+Narrative interpreting what the team-wide patterns mean:
+- When the most productive hours are and what drives them
+- Whether sessions are getting longer or shorter over time
+- Estimated hours per day of active coding (team aggregate)
+- Notable patterns: do team members code at the same time or in shifts?
+
+### Shipping Velocity
+(from Steps 5-7)
+
+Narrative covering:
+- Commit type mix and what it reveals
+- PR size distribution and what it reveals about shipping cadence
+- Fix-chain detection (sequences of fix commits on the same subsystem)
+- Version bump discipline
+
+### Code Quality Signals
+- Test LOC ratio trend
+- Hotspot analysis (are the same files churning?)
+- Greptile signal ratio and trend (if history exists): "Greptile: X% signal (Y valid catches, Z false positives)"
+
+### Test Health
+- Total test files: N (from command 10)
+- Tests added this period: M (from command 12 — test files changed)
+- Regression test commits: list `test(qa):` and `test(design):` and `test: coverage` commits from command 11
+- If prior retro exists and has `test_health`: show delta "Test count: {last} → {now} (+{delta})"
+- If test ratio < 20%: flag as growth area — "100% test coverage is the goal. Tests make vibe coding safe."
+
+### Focus & Highlights
+(from Step 8)
+- Focus score with interpretation
+- Ship of the week callout
+
+### Your Week (personal deep-dive)
+(from Step 9, for the current user only)
+
+This is the section the user cares most about. Include:
+- Their personal commit count, LOC, test ratio
+- Their session patterns and peak hours
+- Their focus areas
+- Their biggest ship
+- **What you did well** (2-3 specific things anchored in commits)
+- **Where to level up** (1-2 specific, actionable suggestions)
+
+### Team Breakdown
+(from Step 9, for each teammate — skip if solo repo)
+
+For each teammate (sorted by commits descending), write a section:
+
+#### [Name]
+- **What they shipped**: 2-3 sentences on their contributions, areas of focus, and commit patterns
+- **Praise**: 1-2 specific things they did well, anchored in actual commits. Be genuine — what would you actually say in a 1:1? Examples:
+  - "Cleaned up the entire auth module in 3 small, reviewable PRs — textbook decomposition"
+  - "Added integration tests for every new endpoint, not just happy paths"
+  - "Fixed the N+1 query that was causing 2s load times on the dashboard"
+- **Opportunity for growth**: 1 specific, constructive suggestion. Frame as investment, not criticism. Examples:
+  - "Test coverage on the payment module is at 8% — worth investing in before the next feature lands on top of it"
+  - "Most commits land in a single burst — spacing work across the day could reduce context-switching fatigue"
+  - "All commits land between 1-4am — sustainable pace matters for code quality long-term"
+
+**AI collaboration note:** If many commits have `Co-Authored-By` AI trailers (e.g., Claude, Copilot), note the AI-assisted commit percentage as a team metric. Frame it neutrally — "N% of commits were AI-assisted" — without judgment.
+
+### Top 3 Team Wins
+Identify the 3 highest-impact things shipped in the window across the whole team. For each:
+- What it was
+- Who shipped it
+- Why it matters (product/architecture impact)
+
+### 3 Things to Improve
+Specific, actionable, anchored in actual commits. Mix personal and team-level suggestions. Phrase as "to get even better, the team could..."
+
+### 3 Habits for Next Week
+Small, practical, realistic. Each must be something that takes <5 minutes to adopt. At least one should be team-oriented (e.g., "review each other's PRs same-day").
+
+### Week-over-Week Trends
+(if applicable, from Step 10)
+
+---
+
+## Global Retrospective Mode
+
+When the user runs `/retro global` (or `/retro global 14d`), follow this flow instead of the repo-scoped Steps 1-14. This mode works from any directory — it does NOT require being inside a git repo.
+
+### Global Step 1: Compute time window
+
+Same midnight-aligned logic as the regular retro. Default 7d. The second argument after `global` is the window (e.g., `14d`, `30d`, `24h`).
+
+### Global Step 2: Run discovery
+
+Locate and run the discovery script using this fallback chain:
+
+```bash
+DISCOVER_BIN=""
+[ -x ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-global-discover ] && DISCOVER_BIN=~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-global-discover
+[ -z "$DISCOVER_BIN" ] && [ -x .claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-global-discover ] && DISCOVER_BIN=.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-global-discover
+[ -z "$DISCOVER_BIN" ] && which gstack-global-discover >/dev/null 2>&1 && DISCOVER_BIN=$(which gstack-global-discover)
+[ -z "$DISCOVER_BIN" ] && [ -f bin/gstack-global-discover.ts ] && DISCOVER_BIN="bun run bin/gstack-global-discover.ts"
+echo "DISCOVER_BIN: $DISCOVER_BIN"
+```
+
+If no binary is found, tell the user: "Discovery script not found. Run `bun run build` in the gstack directory to compile it." and stop.
+
+Run the discovery:
+```bash
+$DISCOVER_BIN --since "<window>" --format json 2>/tmp/gstack-discover-stderr
+```
+
+Read the stderr output from `/tmp/gstack-discover-stderr` for diagnostic info. Parse the JSON output from stdout.
+
+If `total_sessions` is 0, say: "No AI coding sessions found in the last <window>. Try a longer window: `/retro global 30d`" and stop.
+
+### Global Step 3: Run git log on each discovered repo
+
+For each repo in the discovery JSON's `repos` array, find the first valid path in `paths[]` (directory exists with `.git/`). If no valid path exists, skip the repo and note it.
+
+**For local-only repos** (where `remote` starts with `local:`): skip `git fetch` and use the local default branch. Use `git log HEAD` instead of `git log origin/$DEFAULT`.
+
+**For repos with remotes:**
+
+```bash
+git -C <path> fetch origin --quiet 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Detect the default branch for each repo: first try `git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`, then check common branch names (`main`, `master`), then fall back to `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`. Use the detected branch as `<default>` in the commands below.
+
+```bash
+# Commits with stats
+git -C <path> log origin/$DEFAULT --since="<start_date>T00:00:00" --format="%H|%aN|%ai|%s" --shortstat
+
+# Commit timestamps for session detection, streak, and context switching
+git -C <path> log origin/$DEFAULT --since="<start_date>T00:00:00" --format="%at|%aN|%ai|%s" | sort -n
+
+# Per-author commit counts
+git -C <path> shortlog origin/$DEFAULT --since="<start_date>T00:00:00" -sn --no-merges
+
+# PR numbers from commit messages
+git -C <path> log origin/$DEFAULT --since="<start_date>T00:00:00" --format="%s" | grep -oE '#[0-9]+' | sort -n | uniq
+```
+
+For repos that fail (deleted paths, network errors): skip and note "N repos could not be reached."
+
+### Global Step 4: Compute global shipping streak
+
+For each repo, get commit dates (capped at 365 days):
+
+```bash
+git -C <path> log origin/$DEFAULT --since="365 days ago" --format="%ad" --date=format:"%Y-%m-%d" | sort -u
+```
+
+Union all dates across all repos. Count backward from today — how many consecutive days have at least one commit to ANY repo? If the streak hits 365 days, display as "365+ days".
+
+### Global Step 5: Compute context switching metric
+
+From the commit timestamps gathered in Step 3, group by date. For each date, count how many distinct repos had commits that day. Report:
+- Average repos/day
+- Maximum repos/day
+- Which days were focused (1 repo) vs. fragmented (3+ repos)
+
+### Global Step 6: Per-tool productivity patterns
+
+From the discovery JSON, analyze tool usage patterns:
+- Which AI tool is used for which repos (exclusive vs. shared)
+- Session count per tool
+- Behavioral patterns (e.g., "Codex used exclusively for myapp, Claude Code for everything else")
+
+### Global Step 7: Aggregate and generate narrative
+
+Structure the output with the **shareable personal card first**, then the full
+team/project breakdown below. The personal card is designed to be screenshot-friendly
+— everything someone would want to share on X/Twitter in one clean block.
+
+---
+
+**Tweetable summary** (first line, before everything else):
+```
+Week of Mar 14: 5 projects, 138 commits, 250k LOC across 5 repos | 48 AI sessions | Streak: 52d 🔥
+```
+
+## 🚀 Your Week: [user name] — [date range]
+
+This section is the **shareable personal card**. It contains ONLY the current user's
+stats — no team data, no project breakdowns. Designed to screenshot and post.
+
+Use the user identity from `git config user.name` to filter all per-repo git data.
+Aggregate across all repos to compute personal totals.
+
+Render as a single visually clean block. Left border only — no right border (LLMs
+can't align right borders reliably). Pad repo names to the longest name so columns
+align cleanly. Never truncate project names.
+
+```

+
+**Rules for the personal card:**
+- Only show repos where the user has commits. Skip repos with 0 commits.
+- Sort repos by user's commit count descending.
+- **Never truncate repo names.** Use the full repo name (e.g., `analyze_transcripts`
+  not `analyze_trans`). Pad the name column to the longest repo name so all columns
+  align. If names are long, widen the box — the box width adapts to content.
+- For LOC, use "k" formatting for thousands (e.g., "+64.0k" not "+64010").
+- Role: "solo" if user is the only contributor, "team" if others contributed.
+- Ship of the Week: the user's single highest-LOC PR across ALL repos.
+- Top Work: 3 bullet points summarizing the user's major themes, inferred from
+  commit messages. Not individual commits — synthesize into themes.
+  E.g., "Built /retro global — cross-project retrospective with AI session discovery"
+  not "feat: gstack-global-discover" + "feat: /retro global template".
+- The card must be self-contained. Someone seeing ONLY this block should understand
+  the user's week without any surrounding context.
+- Do NOT include team members, project totals, or context switching data here.
+
+**Personal streak:** Use the user's own commits across all repos (filtered by
+`--author`) to compute a personal streak, separate from the team streak.
+
+---
+
+## Global Engineering Retro: [date range]
+
+Everything below is the full analysis — team data, project breakdowns, patterns.
+This is the "deep dive" that follows the shareable card.
+
+### All Projects Overview
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Projects active | N |
+| Total commits (all repos, all contributors) | N |
+| Total LOC | +N / -N |
+| AI coding sessions | N (CC: X, Codex: Y, Gemini: Z) |
+| Active days | N |
+| Global shipping streak (any contributor, any repo) | N consecutive days |
+| Context switches/day | N avg (max: M) |
+
+### Per-Project Breakdown
+For each repo (sorted by commits descending):
+- Repo name (with % of total commits)
+- Commits, LOC, PRs merged, top contributor
+- Key work (inferred from commit messages)
+- AI sessions by tool
+
+**Your Contributions** (sub-section within each project):
+For each project, add a "Your contributions" block showing the current user's
+personal stats within that repo. Use the user identity from `git config user.name`
+to filter. Include:
+- Your commits / total commits (with %)
+- Your LOC (+insertions / -deletions)
+- Your key work (inferred from YOUR commit messages only)
+- Your commit type mix (feat/fix/refactor/chore/docs breakdown)
+- Your biggest ship in this repo (highest-LOC commit or PR)
+
+If the user is the only contributor, say "Solo project — all commits are yours."
+If the user has 0 commits in a repo (team project they didn't touch this period),
+say "No commits this period — [N] AI sessions only." and skip the breakdown.
+
+Format:
+```
+**Your contributions:** 47/244 commits (19%), +4.2k/-0.3k LOC
+  Key work: Writer Chat, email blocking, security hardening
+  Biggest ship: PR #605 — Writer Chat eats the admin bar (2,457 ins, 46 files)
+  Mix: feat(3) fix(2) chore(1)
+```
+
+### Cross-Project Patterns
+- Time allocation across projects (% breakdown, use YOUR commits not total)
+- Peak productivity hours aggregated across all repos
+- Focused vs. fragmented days
+- Context switching trends
+
+### Tool Usage Analysis
+Per-tool breakdown with behavioral patterns:
+- Claude Code: N sessions across M repos — patterns observed
+- Codex: N sessions across M repos — patterns observed
+- Gemini: N sessions across M repos — patterns observed
+
+### Ship of the Week (Global)
+Highest-impact PR across ALL projects. Identify by LOC and commit messages.
+
+### 3 Cross-Project Insights
+What the global view reveals that no single-repo retro could show.
+
+### 3 Habits for Next Week
+Considering the full cross-project picture.
+
+---
+
+### Global Step 8: Load history & compare
+
+```bash
+ls -t ~/.gstack/retros/global-*.json 2>/dev/null | head -5
+```
+
+**Only compare against a prior retro with the same `window` value** (e.g., 7d vs 7d). If the most recent prior retro has a different window, skip comparison and note: "Prior global retro used a different window — skipping comparison."
+
+If a matching prior retro exists, load it with the Read tool. Show a **Trends vs Last Global Retro** table with deltas for key metrics: total commits, LOC, sessions, streak, context switches/day.
+
+If no prior global retros exist, append: "First global retro recorded — run again next week to see trends."
+
+### Global Step 9: Save snapshot
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.gstack/retros
+```
+
+Determine the next sequence number for today:
+```bash
+today=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
+existing=$(ls ~/.gstack/retros/global-${today}-*.json 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
+next=$((existing + 1))
+```
+
+Use the Write tool to save JSON to `~/.gstack/retros/global-${today}-${next}.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "type": "global",
+  "date": "2026-03-21",
+  "window": "7d",
+  "projects": [
+    {
+      "name": "gstack",
+      "remote": "https://github.com/garrytan/gstack",
+      "commits": 47,
+      "insertions": 3200,
+      "deletions": 800,
+      "sessions": { "claude_code": 15, "codex": 3, "gemini": 0 }
+    }
+  ],
+  "totals": {
+    "commits": 182,
+    "insertions": 15300,
+    "deletions": 4200,
+    "projects": 5,
+    "active_days": 6,
+    "sessions": { "claude_code": 48, "codex": 8, "gemini": 3 },
+    "global_streak_days": 52,
+    "avg_context_switches_per_day": 2.1
+  },
+  "tweetable": "Week of Mar 14: 5 projects, 182 commits, 15.3k LOC | CC: 48, Codex: 8, Gemini: 3 | Focus: gstack (58%) | Streak: 52d"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Compare Mode
+
+When the user runs `/retro compare` (or `/retro compare 14d`):
+
+1. Compute metrics for the current window (default 7d) using the midnight-aligned start date (same logic as the main retro — e.g., if today is 2026-03-18 and window is 7d, use `--since="2026-03-11T00:00:00"`)
+2. Compute metrics for the immediately prior same-length window using both `--since` and `--until` with midnight-aligned dates to avoid overlap (e.g., for a 7d window starting 2026-03-11: prior window is `--since="2026-03-04T00:00:00" --until="2026-03-11T00:00:00"`)
+3. Show a side-by-side comparison table with deltas and arrows
+4. Write a brief narrative highlighting the biggest improvements and regressions
+5. Save only the current-window snapshot to `.context/retros/` (same as a normal retro run); do **not** persist the prior-window metrics.
+
+## Tone
+
+- Encouraging but candid, no coddling
+- Specific and concrete — always anchor in actual commits/code
+- Skip generic praise ("great job!") — say exactly what was good and why
+- Frame improvements as leveling up, not criticism
+- **Praise should feel like something you'd actually say in a 1:1** — specific, earned, genuine
+- **Growth suggestions should feel like investment advice** — "this is worth your time because..." not "you failed at..."
+- Never compare teammates against each other negatively. Each person's section stands on its own.
+- Keep total output around 3000-4500 words (slightly longer to accommodate team sections)
+- Use markdown tables and code blocks for data, prose for narrative
+- Output directly to the conversation — do NOT write to filesystem (except the `.context/retros/` JSON snapshot)
+
+## Important Rules
+
+- ALL narrative output goes directly to the user in the conversation. The ONLY file written is the `.context/retros/` JSON snapshot.
+- Use `origin/<default>` for all git queries (not local main which may be stale)
+- Display all timestamps in the user's local timezone (do not override `TZ`)
+- If the window has zero commits, say so and suggest a different window
+- Round LOC/hour to nearest 50
+- Treat merge commits as PR boundaries
+- Do not read CLAUDE.md or other docs — this skill is self-contained
+- On first run (no prior retros), skip comparison sections gracefully
+- **Global mode:** Does NOT require being inside a git repo. Saves snapshots to `~/.gstack/retros/` (not `.context/retros/`). Gracefully skip AI tools that aren't installed. Only compare against prior global retros with the same window value. If streak hits 365d cap, display as "365+ days".
