project-with-reflect

A rule requiring the project-with-reflect memory and reflection workflow whenever a project or connection is registered, managed, or reviewed. Persistent project memory stores useful knowledge for later sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load project guidance before work, record notable results during work, preserve durable decisions, and run reflection afterward while keeping secrets out of stored files.
Why use it?
It keeps project instructions and lessons consistent instead of leaving important context only in the current conversation.

Made for: Cursor.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 131 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

project-with-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.

What it actually says

project-with-reflect

When the user asks to register, check in to, manage, or reflect on a project/connection, follow skills/project-with-reflect/SKILL.md.

Core loop: load the generated project or connection skill first, work while logging notable events, record durable results immediately, then run reflect to distill logs into lessons and decisions.

Use $PROJECT_WITH_REFLECT_ROOT for persistent state. Keep secrets out of disk state; store env-var names or ssh aliases only.

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.
