## Working Session Retro Review how this working session went and find what to fix. - Session description: [textarea: What we were trying to do] - Session log or notes: [textarea: Paste the log or key moments] - Tools and setup: [textarea: Editor or repo or scripts or agent config involved] - Biggest annoyance: [text: What felt worst] - Scope: [dropdown: This session only, Recurring patterns, Both] Walk through the session and mark each moment that cost time: repeated corrections, missing context, slow or flaky commands, unclear instructions, permission prompts, wrong assumptions and re-explaining. For each, record roughly how much time or effort it cost and what caused it. Group the causes into fixes to the environment, such as a script, a config line, a rules file or a note in the repo, and fixes to how the work was requested. Rank the fixes by severity, meaning cost times how often it will recur, most severe first. For each of the top items give a concrete, small change someone can make today. End with what went well and should be kept.
