Run a learning post-mortem on a failed attempt
Use after a failed project, test, or attempt to extract the actual lessons instead of just feeling bad.
I just failed at {{attempt}} and I want to learn from it properly, not just move on.
What happened:
"""
{{what_happened}}
"""
What I was trying to achieve: {{goal}}
Run a blameless post-mortem:
1. The actual root cause (push past the surface reason; ask why a few times).
2. The decision points where it could have gone differently.
3. What I did NOT know that I needed to know.
4. The 2 transferable lessons that apply beyond this case.
5. A specific change so the same class of failure does not repeat.
