mohitagw15856 036511ab3e Windsurf + Aider targets, MCP server, and demo placement (#33)
Broadens both reach (more tools) and content types (an MCP server), continuing
the multi-platform story.

Windsurf + Aider:
- build-exports.mjs gains two platforms: exports/windsurf/*.md (workspace rules,
  trigger: model_decision) and exports/aider/*.md (conventions for `aider --read`).
  Now 5 platforms (ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider).
- install.sh + bin/cli.mjs install both (windsurf -> .windsurf/rules, aider ->
  .aider/skills with a --read hint); generated README index is excluded from copies.
- One-line windsurf-install.sh / aider-install.sh wrappers for parity.

MCP server (new content type):
- mcp/server.mjs — zero-dependency stdio MCP server exposing list_skills,
  search_skills, get_skill. Published as a second bin (pm-claude-skills-mcp).
  Logs to stderr; reads bundled skills/ at startup. mcp/README.md documents
  client config.

Also: README hero "See it in action" demo placement (ready to swap in a GIF;
recording guide in web/docs-assets/README.md), Works-With table + exports +
install docs updated, CHANGELOG Unreleased. package.json files/bin updated.

trigger: model_decision
description: "Analyses sprint delivery data and produces a structured retrospective brief. Use when asked to run a retrospective, analyse sprint data, prepare a retro brief, or turn sprint metrics into discussion prompts. Produces a data-grounded retrospective brief with completion stats, pattern analysis, Start/Stop/Continue prompts, and one concrete experiment for next sprint."

# Retrospective Analysis Skill
Generate a data-grounded retrospective brief that separates facts from feelings, so the team spends retro time on solutions rather than debating what happened.
## Required Inputs
Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **Sprint tickets: planned vs. completed**
- **Carry-over tickets and reasons** (if known)
- **Tickets reopened after closing** (quality signal)
- **Any incidents or unplanned work** (scope creep signal)
- **Sprint velocity vs. historical average** (trend context)
## Process
1. Calculate: completion rate, carry-over rate, unplanned work percentage
2. Identify patterns: which ticket types were most likely to carry over? Which caused blockers?
3. Note any process or communication breakdowns visible in the data
4. Prepare 3 "Start / Stop / Continue" prompts based on the data — not generic, specific to this sprint
5. Suggest 1 concrete experiment for the next sprint based on the biggest friction point
6. **Validate** — Confirm each prompt is specific to this sprint (not a recycled generic prompt), and that the recommended experiment is concrete and measurable
## Output Structure
### Sprint [Number] Retrospective Brief
**By the Numbers:**
- Planned: [n] tickets | Completed: [n] | Carry-over: [n] | Completion rate: [%]
- Unplanned work: [n] tickets ([%] of capacity)
- Velocity: [points] vs. [average] average
**What the Data Suggests:**
[2-3 observations grounded in the numbers above]
**Discussion Prompts:**
- Start: [specific prompt based on this sprint's data]
- Stop: [specific prompt based on this sprint's data]
- Continue: [specific prompt based on this sprint's data]
**Suggested Experiment for Next Sprint:**
[One concrete, testable process change — with a specific success metric]
## Quality Checks
- [ ] Each Start/Stop/Continue prompt names a specific behaviour, not a vague category
- [ ] The recommended experiment is testable in one sprint
- [ ] Carry-over analysis identifies the ticket type or cause, not just the count
- [ ] Data observations don't assign blame — they describe patterns
- [ ] Velocity trend is mentioned in context (is this a one-off or a pattern?)
## Anti-Patterns
- [ ] Do not assign blame to individuals in the retrospective brief — observations must describe patterns, not people
- [ ] Do not produce Start/Stop/Continue prompts that are vague categories — each must name a specific behaviour
- [ ] Do not recommend an experiment that cannot be completed within one sprint — small, testable experiments only
- [ ] Do not treat carry-over tickets as a velocity problem without first identifying the root cause category
- [ ] Do not run the same retrospective format every sprint — vary the format to prevent engagement fatigue
