pqrst-practice
A lightweight retrospective audit for closing agentic coding sessions: a forced 100% allocation of a session's effective engineering effort across five stable dimensions — Problem, Quality, Research, Security, Task organization.
Where did the effective engineering effort of this session actually go?

Dominant factors: Existing auth middleware was undocumented and contradicted the
README, so most attention went to reconstructing the request path before
changing behavior.
The numbers are the index. The Dominant factors sentence is the content — a
signature stored without it is not auditable.
What this is not
Not a productivity score, not telemetry, not a planning target. There is no good profile: an exploration session is R-heavy, a hardening session Q-heavy, a credential integration S-heavy. The practice fails the moment anyone tries to score well on it.
This repository defines the practice and supplies the prompt. Collectors,
validators, dashboards, and record storage belong elsewhere — see
SCOPE.md.
