After-Action Report

Run a structured retrospective on a launch, incident, or completed project. Produce actionable lessons, not just a document.

This skill is for after-the-fact analysis. For active incident response, use incident-response. For planning launches, use launch-runbook.

When to use

  • After any incident (any severity)
  • After every major launch
  • At the end of a project (sprint retro, quarterly retro, project closeout)
  • When a recurring issue has happened enough times to demand investigation
  • When a decision didn't work out and the team wants to learn
