reflection-deep-dive

reflection-deep-dive is a skill for Claude Code from jianzhichun/emerge. It costs 31 tokens per session (296 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A deep review tool for the agent’s stored history when connector activity is large, noisy, or often failing. It creates a cached summary for later hooks to use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for high-volume connector histories, rising failure rates, or a full review of the agent’s existing operational memory.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to process a long history repeatedly and preserves useful lessons from past actions, failures, and rollbacks.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

reflection-deep-dive 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.

What it actually says

Reflection Deep Dive

Overview

Use this skill to generate a deeper, cached muscle-memory summary for long-running or noisy connectors. The cache is consumed by PreCompact, PostCompact, and UserPromptSubmit hooks when fresh, with automatic fallback to lightweight reflection when stale.

When to Use

  • Connector intent volume is high (for example, 200+ intents).
  • Recent failures or rollbacks are increasing.
  • The user asks for a full reflection/review of existing flywheel memory.

Command

Run:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/build_reflection_cache.py"

Optional:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/build_reflection_cache.py" --max-items 12

Output

The command writes:

  • ~/.emerge/state/reflection-cache/global.json (or EMERGE_STATE_ROOT/reflection-cache/global.json)

with:

  • generated_at_ms
  • summary_text
  • meta

Notes

  • Hooks prefer this cache while it is fresh (TTL-based).
  • If missing/stale, hooks fall back to local lightweight reflection.
  • The cache path and TTL policy are implementation details in SpanTracker.
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.
