reflect

reflect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nicograef/handbook. It costs 74 tokens per session (1,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured review of a completed work session that records problems, solutions, useful lessons, and sources of friction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a session, past sessions, or Git commits and propose updates to memory, rules, skills, documentation, or tools.
Why use it?
It turns mistakes and repeated difficulties into specific improvements instead of letting them be forgotten.

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 yesterday.

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.

Workflow

1. Resolve scope

Argument: $ARGUMENTS

Scope Evidence How
No argument (default) the current session — the in-context conversation itself Never read the session's own transcript file — it is already in context. Works on surfaces with no local transcripts.
last N sessions the N most recent past session transcripts Locate, cap, and summarize them per sources.md. One subagent per transcript, each returning problems, solutions, insights, and friction.
last N commits, or an explicit revision range (e.g. v1.2..HEAD) git history Per sources.md. Works in repos and on machines with no transcripts at all.

2. Analyze the evidence

  • Problems and issues that arose — errors, wrong turns, rework, misunderstandings.
  • Solutions that worked — fixes, commands, approaches worth repeating.
  • Notable insights — repo quirks, clarified conventions, facts worth remembering.
  • Recurring friction — anything that slowed work down more than once.

3. Report in the chat

One chat report, fixed sections in this order: Problems & issues, Solutions found, Notable insights, Recurring friction. Each section is one bullet per entry.

  • Empty section — one line, no padding.
  • Chat only — never write a report file, journal, or reflections directory.

4. Derive plan items

Derive a short improvement plan from the report. Each item:

  • Citation — the observation it derives from: report section plus entry.
  • Category — memory, rule, skill, documentation, or tooling/process, per targets.md.
  • Tie-break — when several categories fit, the most automatable wins.
  • Target — its concrete file or directory, taken from the target map.

5. Dedup against existing artifacts

Before proposing, check each candidate for existing coverage:

  • Per-category surfaces — see the target map in targets.md.
  • Non-handbook repo — check the discovered artifacts from targets.md instead.
  • Already covered — drop the learning.
  • Covered, but the new evidence adds something — convert it into an update-proposal for the existing artifact.
  • Never propose a duplicate.

What ships with it

2 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.
