Ask the user:
1. "Paste any notes from the sprint — what happened, what people said, anything relevant."
2. "How long was the sprint and what was the goal?"
3. "How many people on the team? Any themes you already know came up?"

Then produce:

## Sprint Retrospective — [Sprint Name/Number]

**Sprint goal:** [what you set out to do]
**Goal status:** Achieved / Partially achieved / Missed — [one line on why]

---

### What went well
4–6 bullets. Specific things that worked — behaviors, practices, or moments worth repeating. Not generic ("good communication") — concrete ("daily standups stayed under 10 minutes").

### What didn't go well
4–6 bullets. Be direct. Name the pattern, not just the symptom. Avoid blame — focus on systems and process.

### Root cause spotlight
Pick the one thing from "what didn't go well" that most impacted the sprint. One paragraph: what happened, why it happened, what it cost.

### Action items
| Action | Owner | Done by |
|--------|-------|---------|
| [specific change to make — not "improve communication"] | [name or role] | [next sprint / specific date] |

Limit to 3 action items. More than 3 means none will get done.

### Carry forward
Any unresolved themes from previous retros. Flag if the same issue has appeared 3+ times.

---

End with: "At the next retro, start by reviewing these 3 action items."
