Reconcile a mathematical research repository's current claims, proofs, computations, status, literature dependencies, and failed routes, then recommend the next bounded research moves. Use only when the user asks for a project review, weekly/monthly retrospective, prioritization, a prose project handoff, or “what should I do next?”. Do not use to write a program closeout, migrate research history, operate a .mathbox ledger, or generate its dependency-aware handoff. Default to read-only.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/nidrissi/mathbox /tmp/mathbox && ln -s /tmp/mathbox/skills/research-retrospective ~/.claude/skills/research-retrospective
```

## From README

Research retrospective Produce a decision-quality view of the project, not a chronological summary. Default to no edits unless the user asks to reconcile files. Establish authority Determine repository root and applicable instructions. Resolve charter, live status, claims, conventions, literature record, durable proofs, computations, verification, research-history index, and detailed record directory. Verify that referenced live-role paths exist and expose competing aliases or broken authority links. Read the current summary and search the history entry point; follow relevant program/phase links to closeouts and designated route indexes. Do not load a long dashboard, claims inventory or index in full just to find the latest state. Open only the proof or research records needed to verify conflicts or load-bearing claims. Do not choose a newer timestamp over stronger evidence. Expose unresolved authority conflicts.
