# /cs:post-mortem — Honest Retrospective

**Command:** `/cs:post-mortem <decision-path>`

Closes the strategic sprint loop. Scores a decision against the success and kill criteria written **before** the decision (not retro-fitted) and revisits the preserved dissent. This is the rigor that compounds over time.

## Pipeline Position

```
/cs:office-hours  →  /cs:brief  →  /cs:boardroom  →  /cs:decide  →  /cs:execute  →  /cs:post-mortem
                                                                                       ↑ you are here
```

## When to Run

- At the 90-day checkpoint (auto-scheduled by `/cs:decide`)
- When a kill criterion triggers
- After a major decision is reversed
- Quarterly on all decisions of the past quarter

## Inputs

- The decision record (output of `/cs:decide`)
- The execution plan (output of `/cs:execute`)
