What this skill does
/cs:post-mortem — Honest Retrospective Command: /cs:post-mortem <decision-path> Closes the strategic sprint loop. Scores a decision against the success and kill criteria written before the decision (not retro-fitted) and revisits the preserved dissent. This is the rigor that compounds over time. Pipeline Position When to Run At the 90-day checkpoint (auto-scheduled by /cs:decide) When a kill criterion triggers After a major decision is reversed Quarterly on all decisions of the past quarter Inputs The decision record (output of /cs:decide) The execution plan (output of /cs:execute) Actual outcomes (metrics, events, customer signals) Output: Post-Mortem Record Saved to ~/.claude/postmortems/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md: Why Pre-Committed Criteria Matter The biggest temptation in post-mortems is retroactive justification: "we always knew X, that's why we did Y." Pre-committed criteria, signed at /cs:decide time, eliminate that move. The numbers either matched or they didn't. Why Revisit Dissent The dissent column from /cs:boardroom is the single most useful piece of organizational memory. Most of the time, the dissenter was directionally right. Revisiting and scoring it builds calibration over years. Routing /cs:brief — if the post-mortem surfaces a new decision /cs:freeze — if the post-mortem reveals a process gap that needs cooldown enforcement Updates to company-context.md via cs-onboard Related Skill: decision-logger Agent: cs-chief-of-staff Sibling: /em:postmortem — adversarial single-decision post-mortem --- Version: 1.0.0
