recipe-reflect

recipe-reflect is a skill for Claude Code from shinpr/claude-code-discover. It costs 27 tokens per session (964 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured process for learning from results and updating the project files that contain those learnings. It also combines related findings into a maintained knowledge index.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reflect on completed work, update hypotheses or other target documents, combine lessons across levels of knowledge, and maintain INDEX.md.
Why use it?
It prevents useful lessons from staying only in conversation or becoming scattered across files. An approval step helps control when the distilled knowledge is written back.

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

recipe-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 7d 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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context: Drive the feedback loop by reflecting on outcomes, updating target artifacts, and distilling learnings across the knowledge pyramid (see product-principles skill for Tier definitions).

Orchestrator Definition

Execution Protocol:

  1. Required specialist execution: Invoking this recipe is the user's explicit instruction and authorization to execute every named specialist whose condition applies. Execute each applicable Agent call with its declared subagent_type when its prerequisites are met and continue from its returned result; equivalent orchestrator work does not complete that step
  2. Exact specialist handoff: The complete Agent prompt consists of all and only the applicable canonical field: value entries declared by the specialist's Input Contract. Copy each value unchanged from its authoritative source; serialize path fields as path strings so the specialist reads referenced artifacts directly
  3. Follow the reflection flow defined below
  4. Approval gate: At [STOP — BLOCKING], present the distillation decision and resume after explicit user confirmation

Workflow

Determine the reflection level → record results → independently distill applicable evidence → confirm promotions → update artifacts and index.

Execution Decision Flow

1. Scope Assessment

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Determine the reflection level (see references/reflection-guide.md):

Trigger Level Target Files
Hypothesis concluded Level 1: Hypothesis The hypothesis file
Multiple hypotheses concluded under an Opportunity Level 2: Opportunity Opportunity file (Tier 2 Learnings section)
PRD delivered, quarterly review, strategic pivot Level 3: Vision docs/product/vision.md, docs/product/learnings.md

2. Result Recording

Level 1: Hypothesis Reflection
  1. Verify the hypothesis file has been updated with results (validation results, confidence scores, evidence)
  2. Document learnings: What did we learn regardless of outcome?
  3. Check if this result changes understanding of the parent Opportunity

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.

recipe-reflect is a skill published in the GitHub repository shinpr/claude-code-discover (10 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 964 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
