reflect

reflect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from iliaal/whetstone. It costs 45 tokens per session (577 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session review and skill-audit workflow for examining what went well, what went wrong, and what could be improved. It can be started with commands such as /reflect or by asking for a retrospective.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a conversation, record evidence for problems and successes, propose up to ten prioritized improvements, and decide which lessons to remember.
Why use it?
It turns mistakes, repeated friction, and useful practices into specific improvements instead of leaving lessons undocumented.

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 1mo 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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reflect

Success Criteria

  • Every mistake/friction point cites the specific moment and its impact
  • Improvements are actionable, prioritized, and <= 10 items
  • Each skill audit proposes measurable changes (not vague suggestions)
  • User is asked which items to persist to memory

Process

1. Session Review

Scan the full conversation. For each finding, cite the specific exchange (quote or paraphrase) and its impact.

Category Signal
Mistakes Wrong outputs, incorrect assumptions, hallucinated facts
Friction Repeated clarifications, verbose responses, misread intent
Wasted effort Work discarded, wrong approaches tried first
Wins Approaches worth repeating, smooth interactions

Skip one-time typos, external tool failures, and issues outside agent control.

2. Improvements

Numbered list of concrete improvements, ranked by impact. Each item: one sentence, imperative, actionable. Cap at 10.

Ask: "Which of these should I remember for future chats?"

Save approved items to memory files via the auto memory system.

3. Skill Audit (if skills were used)

For each skill invoked during the session:

A. Self-check gate — If the skill lacks success criteria + verification loop:

  • Add ## Success Criteria at top (3-5 measurable checks)
  • Add ## Self-Check at bottom: "Verify all success criteria are met before presenting output. If not, iterate (max 5 times)."

B. Token efficiency — Flag: redundant phrasing, mergeable sections, oversized examples, "Claude already knows this" content, inert frontmatter metadata.

C. Other — Missing edge cases, vague directives (rewrite as measurable criteria or remove), naked negations (add "do Y instead" or remove).

Present proposed changes as diffs. Ask: "Apply these? (all / pick / skip)"

4. Pattern Detection

If 2+ similar tasks appear that no existing skill covers, suggest a new skill (1-2 sentence description). Create only after confirmation.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
