Conversation
Matt tweeted the shape on Aug 15-16 (compound engineering's promise without ceding control to the model): mine session friction, propose CODING_STANDARDS.md additions AND deletions, land as a PR rather than writing directly. Name, destination file, and the "must delete too" requirement all came from that thread. Three more lenses (tool economy from session JSONL, navigation-pointer drafting, multi-session transcript fan-out) are named in the SKILL.md's "Not yet built" section but not specified closely enough to build yet. In-progress bucket: no docs page, no plugin/README (top-level) registration, no ask-matt update needed per CLAUDE.md's bucket rules.

Previous version built one lens out to a real process, which wasn't the ask — this replaces it with an uncut capture of every idea from the design conversation (determinism hunting, CLAUDE.md->standards migration, writing-for-agents branches applied to review, tool economy off session JSONL, navigation pointers, codebase design, the sub-agents-vs-single-skill question, multi-session mode, propose-never-apply), explicitly marked not-functional and parked for a /writing-for-agents pass later.

Summary
skills/in-progress/retro/SKILL.mdis now a stub, not a working skill: an uncut capture of every idea from the design conversation, explicitly marked not-functional, meant to be reduced to a real process later via/writing-for-agents.CLAUDE.md→CODING_STANDARDS.mdmigration,writing-for-agents' branch vocabulary applied to code review, tool economy read off the session JSONL, navigation-pointer gaps, thecodebase-designlens, the sub-agents-vs-single-skill architecture question left open, multi-session mode, and propose-never-apply (a PR, never a direct write).CODING_STANDARDS.mdas destination, and the must-also-delete requirement all trace to that thread; the rest is from the design conversation that produced this PR.in-progressbucket per this repo'sCLAUDE.md: no docs page, no top-levelREADME.md/plugin registration, noask-mattupdate needed.Test plan
