reflect

A command that reviews, organizes, refines, and trims stored project memory in two stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review recent session records, project memory, and learned pitfalls, then improve the stored information.
Why use it?
It helps keep memory files useful by identifying outdated, duplicate, or unnecessary information.

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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/reflect — Learning Loop Steps 4-8 (Review -> Organize -> Refine -> Re-learn -> Trim -> Wrap up)

After the user triggers this command, run Learning Loop steps 4-8. Two phases: first half (review + organize) completes, then automatically continues to second half (re-analyze + trim + wrap up).

First Half: Review + Organize (Steps 4-5)

Step 4: Review (read-only, don't change anything yet)

  1. Read project index: Read ~/.claude/sessions/project-index.md
    • If the user specifies a project (e.g., /reflect blog) → only look at that project's sessions
    • No project specified → look at all projects
  2. Read session summaries: Based on the index, read the last 7 days of session records (max 10)
  3. Read pitfall records: Scan ~/.claude/skills/learned/auto-pitfall-*.md
  4. Read memory files: Scan all memory/*.md files
  5. Tag each item (read-only, don't edit yet):
    • Each memory paragraph: active / outdated / duplicate / needs update
    • Each pitfall record: internalized (already in CLAUDE.md) / still relevant / can remove

Step 5: Refine (act on tags, use the 4-question decision tree)

Run each item through four questions before acting — don't merge mechanically:

  • Q1 Still needed? Does this item serve the core workflow? → If not, mark for removal
  • Q2 Can condense? Can it merge with another item into a tighter version? → Write the refined version, it naturally replaces the originals
  • Q3 Already covered? Is this already covered by a CLAUDE.md rule? → If yes, don't duplicate it in memory
  • Q4 Remove as last resort → Only if Q1-Q3 don't apply. Rarely needed
  1. Merge duplicates: Find duplicate paragraphs in memory/*.md, condense using Q2
  2. Update outdated: Items tagged "outdated" — use Q1 to decide if they still serve the core workflow
  3. Relocate: Move misplaced content to the correct HOOK file

Second Half: Re-analyze + Trim + Wrap up (Steps 6-8)

Runs automatically after first half completes. No need for the user to trigger again.

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.

reflect is a command published in the GitHub repository HelloRuru/claude-memory-engine (133 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,108 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
