I literally hold a "retro" with my agent after a session.

> Let's conclude with a retro. Did you run into any issues during this session that you think could be improved? Any failed tool calls, confusing docs/prompts, or tricky wording that took you effort to figure out, etc? Any final thoughts that you want to raise? Anything minor you didn't mention? Help make this codebase easier for the next agent to work in.

It has ideas for coding changes, spots unmentioned small bugs, suggests invariants (I have a high-level list of invariants to keep), principles to adopt, lint rules, tooling tweaks (I've built SO MUCH agent-tooling; so many useful bash scripts), skill-file updates, follow up work, all kinds of stuff.

Listen to your agent's whinging.
