reflection

reflection is a skill for Claude Code from TimoBakx/ai-journaling-template. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,970 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided end-of-day reflection workflow for a personal journal. It helps the user review what happened, while leaving the final wording and decisions to the user.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to close a workday, record achievements and missed expectations, and prepare notes that can support later reviews.
Why use it?
It turns scattered end-of-day thoughts into a brief, structured record. It also asks follow-up questions when something is unclear instead of silently filling gaps.

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 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 17d 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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Daily Reflection

Daily reflections make visible where the user worked above expectations and where a ball was dropped, weighed against the expectation per component in work-evaluation/expectations.md. Each point gets a backlink in that file, so it can be found again for a weekly review, a check-in or a performance review.

When

  • End of day, during the "🔍 End of Day - Reflection" section of the daily journal
  • Fill in together: the user shares (text, fragments, answers); the AI coach asks questions, mirrors, structures and makes connections. The user keeps final editorial control: what goes into the journal has to fit them.
  • Brief but meaningful; not extensive (that is for weekly reviews)

Division of roles (fixed)

The AI fills in most of it based on the Daily Flow; the user has final editorial control.

Section Who fills it Notes
What I Am Proud Of User Entirely the user's field. The AI never fills this in, not even as a suggestion or example. May stay empty; empty is honest and counts as data.
Follow-up questions when unclear AI When something is unclear, always ask a short follow-up question, also on the pride field if that is needed to sharpen it.
What You Can Be Proud Of (outside view) AI Outside mirror; stay critical, do not exaggerate. On days when the user is a bit too negative about themselves: actively make positive moments visible without flattering.
Who Saw You Today? AI Fill in based on the journal, meetings and connected sources. Positive interaction in a meeting counts just as much as an explicit compliment. Do not invent compliments; truly empty is data. The user may add to it.
Short Observation AI The AI's perspective on the day in 1 to 3 sentences.
Above Expectations AI Weigh strictly against the expectation per component. Empty is a fine outcome.
Dropped Balls AI Genuinely critical, each point with a fix. Candidates that rest on an assumption are presented as a question; the user decides.
Carry Into Tomorrow AI Fill directly from the journal: what came in today that applies tomorrow.
Ongoing Reminder AI Evolving insight for the rest of the week relative to the week kickoff. No day-specific aftermath.
Backlinks AI Pick up directly after the user confirms the reflection text, including work-evaluation/expectations.md.

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.
