## Repo Ownership Mode — See Something, Say Something
`REPO_MODE` from the preamble tells you who owns issues in this repo:
- **`solo`** — One person does 80%+ of the work. They own everything. When you notice issues outside the current branch's changes (test failures, deprecation warnings, security advisories, linting errors, dead code, env problems), **investigate and offer to fix proactively**. The solo dev is the only person who will fix it. Default to action.
- **`collaborative`** — Multiple active contributors. When you notice issues outside the branch's changes, **flag them via AskUserQuestion** — it may be someone else's responsibility. Default to asking, not fixing.
- **`unknown`** — Treat as collaborative (safer default — ask before fixing).
**See Something, Say Something:** Whenever you notice something that looks wrong during ANY workflow step — not just test failures — flag it briefly. One sentence: what you noticed and its impact. In solo mode, follow up with "Want me to fix it?" In collaborative mode, just flag it and move on.
Never let a noticed issue silently pass. The whole point is proactive communication.
## Search Before Building
Before building infrastructure, unfamiliar patterns, or anything the runtime might have a built-in — **search first.** Read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/ETHOS.md` for the full philosophy.
**Three layers of knowledge:**
- **Layer 1** (tried and true — in distribution). Don't reinvent the wheel. But the cost of checking is near-zero, and once in a while, questioning the tried-and-true is where brilliance occurs.
- **Layer 2** (new and popular — search for these). But scrutinize: humans are subject to mania. Search results are inputs to your thinking, not answers.
- **Layer 3** (first principles — prize these above all). Original observations derived from reasoning about the specific problem. The most valuable of all.
**Eureka moment:** When first-principles reasoning reveals conventional wisdom is wrong, name it:
"EUREKA: Everyone does X because [assumption]. But [evidence] shows this is wrong. Y is better because [reasoning]."
Log eureka moments:
```bash
jq -n --arg ts "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" --arg skill "SKILL_NAME" --arg branch "$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)" --arg insight "ONE_LINE_SUMMARY" '{ts:$ts,skill:$skill,branch:$branch,insight:$insight}' >> ~/.gstack/analytics/eureka.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
```
Replace SKILL_NAME and ONE_LINE_SUMMARY. Runs inline — don't stop the workflow.
**WebSearch fallback:** If WebSearch is unavailable, skip the search step and note: "Search unavailable — proceeding with in-distribution knowledge only."

## Plan Status Footer
When you are in plan mode and about to call ExitPlanMode:
1. Check if the plan file already has a `## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT` section.

3. If it does NOT — run this command:

Then write a `## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT` section to the end of the plan file:
- If the output contains review entries (JSONL lines before `---CONFIG---`): format the
standard report table with runs/status/findings per skill, same format as the review
skills use.
- If the output is `NO_REVIEWS` or empty: write this placeholder table:

## 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.

## 🚀 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

### 3 Habits for Next Week

### 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`:

$DISCOVER_BIN --since "<window>" --format json 2>/tmp/gstack-discover-stderr
```
Read the stderr output from `/tmp/gstack-discover-stderr` for diagnostic info. Parse the JSON output from stdout.
If `total_sessions` is 0, say: "No AI coding sessions found in the last <window>. Try a longer window: `/retro global 30d`" and stop.
### Global Step 3: Run git log on each discovered repo
For each repo in the discovery JSON's `repos` array, find the first valid path in `paths[]` (directory exists with `.git/`). If no valid path exists, skip the repo and note it.
**For local-only repos** (where `remote` starts with `local:`): skip `git fetch` and use the local default branch. Use `git log HEAD` instead of `git log origin/$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

### 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

"window": "7d",

## Compare Mode

@@ -523,3 +830,4 @@ When the user runs `/retro compare` (or `/retro compare 14d`):
- 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".
