reflect

reflect is a command for coding agents from abstractonion/cadence. It costs 15 tokens per session (164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-closing instruction for recording one lasting lesson in a project log.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing one dated, session-specific entry to the project’s learnings file.
Why use it?
It keeps useful knowledge from being lost when a coding session ends, without creating a long list of generic advice.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

reflect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Reflect

You are closing the session this turn. Name exactly one durable lesson worth carrying into the next session — a sharp edge, a mental model that paid off, a process miss, or a rule that should have been followed sooner. Keep it specific to what actually happened in this session; avoid generic advice. Append one dated entry to the project's learnings log using the first path that exists; if neither exists, propose a path and ask the user once before writing:

  1. docs/learnings.md
  2. .cadence/learnings.md

One lesson only — resist the urge to list five.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
