reflect

reflect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,133 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow for reviewing the current conversation and turning useful lessons into edits to existing agent skills. It uses three parallel reviewers before making those changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asked to reflect on a session and update an existing skill based on a durable lesson.
Why use it?
It helps preserve lessons that may apply to future work instead of leaving them only in one conversation. It avoids recording one-off or irrelevant observations.

Written for Claude Code and Codex: user-invocable in frontmatter, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; reads ~/.codex paths.

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 B, and why

reflect scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Before fanning out, find this conversation's transcript in the `agent-transcripts/` directory the system prompt names (or `~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl` and `~/.codex/sessions/`). Do not glob across `~/.cursor/projects/*

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

Mine the current conversation for durable learnings, then route them into skill edits.

Invoke when the user says "reflect" or "/reflect". Skip when the conversation is trivial, off-topic, or already covered by an existing skill the parent followed correctly. One-offs are not learnings.

1. Locate the active transcript

Before fanning out, find this conversation's transcript in the agent-transcripts/ directory the system prompt names (or ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl and ~/.codex/sessions/). Do not glob across ~/.cursor/projects/*/. That crosses workspace boundaries and reads private chats from unrelated projects.

ls -t <agent-transcripts>/*.jsonl <agent-transcripts>/*/*.jsonl <agent-transcripts>/*/subagents/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -10

That covers the legacy flat (<id>.jsonl), current nested (<id>/<id>.jsonl), and subagent (<parent>/subagents/<child>.jsonl) layouts. For each candidate, read the first JSONL line. Take the file whose message.content[0].text contains the conversation's opening user prompt. If none matches, pass a tight digest of the session instead.

2. Spawn three reviewers in parallel

One message, three Task calls, subagent_type: generalPurpose, agent mode (readonly: false). Reviewers need MCP access to look up the tickets, chat threads, and observability traces the transcript references, and readonly strips MCPs.

Each reviewer and the synthesizer name a role line in the ~/.config/pstack/models.md rule and a default. Set model to that line's value, or to the default if the rule or the line is missing. Leave model unset when the value is auto or inherit-parent. If the Task tool rejects a slug, use the default and say so. If it rejects the default, use the closest valid slug of the same family from its error message.

What ships with it

5 files 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.

reflect is a skill published in the GitHub repository minghinmatthewlam/agent-guards (47 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,133 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-14.
