reflect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit. It costs 47 tokens per session (973 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A retrospective guide for reviewing substantial coding work after it is finished.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a feature, debugging session, or plan before committing the work or moving on.
Why use it?
It helps reveal missed requirements, unchecked assumptions, and approaches that may have solved the wrong problem.

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 10d 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.

Reflect — step back and audit the work, not just the code

Trigger phrases: "reflect", "retro", "retrospective", "what did we miss", "step back", "introspect"

When

A nontrivial chunk of work just finished (a feature, a plan, a debugging session) and it's worth a deliberate step back before committing or moving on. This is the meta-cognitive counterpart to [[iterate]]: iterate drives a change to its exit test; reflect asks whether the exit test — and the approach behind it — was even the right one. Skip it for a one-line, unambiguous change; there's nothing to reflect on.

Measure first, then remember

Run bash .claude/hooks/session-stats.sh before answering anything below, and open the pass with what it reports. A retro built only on recall is an interview with the least reliable witness in the room: the model reconstructs a tidy story from a context that has already been summarised, and the stretches where it span on a failing approach are exactly the ones it remembers least. The script counts what actually happened — prompts, tool calls, failing loops, near-duplicate prompts, interrupts, auto-compactions.

Treat each ⚠️ as a question to answer in the pass, not a verdict: a runaway loop asks what assumption kept failing; a repeated prompt asks what context never landed; an interrupt asks where intent diverged; an auto compaction asks what state was silently dropped. If the numbers and your recollection disagree, the numbers are the record. If the script is missing (a plugin install has no .claude/hooks/), say the retro is recall-based — do not present recall as measurement.

The pass

Ask each question honestly and write the answer, not a reassurance:

  1. Unverified assumptions — what did I take for granted that I never checked? Name each one and whether it was actually confirmed (read the code / ran the flow) or just assumed.
  2. What got skipped — an edge case, an error path, a test, a doc update, a security/privacy angle. What was silently dropped, and was that a conscious trade-off or an oversight?
  3. Right approach? — with hindsight, is this the direction we'd still pick? Did scope creep in? Is there a simpler path we walked past ([[code-review]] altitude: could 200 lines be 50)?
  4. Evidence gap — which claims of "done" / "works" rest on having observed behavior vs. on inference? An unobserved "it works" is a finding (see [[iterate]] / verify: drive the real flow).
  5. What I'd tell the next session — the one thing a fresh context most needs to know (feeds [[handoff]]).

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 skill published in the GitHub repository byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit (22 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 973 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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.
