Can I use this for non-Agile teams?

Absolutely. While it excels in Agile environments, it is also designed for general project post-mortems, weekly team health checks, and individual performance reflections.

What formats does this retrospective skill support?

It supports multiple industry-standard formats including Start/Stop/Continue, Mad/Sad/Glad, 4Ls (Loved, Learned, Lacked, Longed For), Sailboat/Speedboat, and Chronological Timelines.

How are action items tracked?

The skill helps you define 1-3 SMART (Specific, Measurable, Assigned, Realistic, Time-bound) actions and provides a rubric to ensure they are high-impact and trackable.

How does it ensure psychological safety during reviews?

The skill enforces the 'Prime Directive,' which focuses on systemic and process improvements rather than personal blame, creating a safe space for honest feedback and dissent.
