What kind of metrics does the skill provide?

It provides data on planned vs. completed points, issue count trends, scope creep percentages, and identification of specific issues that caused major delays.

Does this skill help with team workload management?

Yes, it analyzes workload distribution by team member to help identify potential bottlenecks or uneven point allocations during the cycle.

Can I analyze more than one cycle at a time?

Yes, the skill is designed to analyze trends across multiple cycles (e.g., the last 3 sprints) to help identify long-term patterns in velocity and scope management.

How does the Retro skill access my Linear data?

The skill utilizes the Linear CLI to securely query cycle information, issue statuses, and team metrics directly from your authenticated Linear workspace.
