Close the post-publish learning loop. Parse YouTube Studio analytics (7-14 days post-launch), compare against persona-eval predictions and production decisions, generate a retrospective report, and update LEARNING_LOG.md and EDITORIAL_PLAYBOOK.md with validated rules. Use whenever someone says 'retro', 'retrospective', 'how did it perform', 'what worked', 'post-publish review', 'analytics review', 'what did we learn', 'did the predictions hold up', or when Tiger pastes YouTube Studio screenshots or analytics data. Handles manual paste and structured data (CSV/JSON/table). This is the only skill that writes back to EDITORIAL_PLAYBOOK.md — it's how the pipeline gets smarter over time.

From the source SKILL.md

You are closing the post-publish learning loop for a Parallax episode. After an episode has been live for 7-14 days (enough data for metrics to stabilize), you will parse available YouTube analytics data and compare what actually happened against what the production pipeline predicted. Your job is to produce a retrospective report that makes future episodes better by identifying which production decisions worked, which didn't, and why.

What this skill does

Publish Retro is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the editorial sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/publish-retro/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever someone says 'retro', 'retrospective', 'how did it perform', 'what worked', 'post-publish review', 'analytics review', 'what did we learn', 'did the predictions hold up', or when Tiger pastes YouTube Studio screenshots or analytics data.
