Adds a new skill,
running-a-session-retro. When you finish a work session, it looks back at what went wrong or had to be corrected, works out which of those a tool or process should have caught, and puts a lasting fix in the right place so the same mistake is less likely next time. It does the analysis itself, shows you the findings first, and only changes anything once you approve. Those changes go on their own branch and draft PR, kept separate from the work the session was actually about.
