Reflect
Analyze the current session and suggest improvements to AGENTS.md based on patterns, feedback, and lessons learned.
For cross-session learning from git history and handoffs, use `Skill("learn")` instead.
Data Sources
| Source | What to Extract |
|---|---|
| Conversation history | User corrections, repeated feedback, preferences |
.agents/session_ledger.md | Key Decisions, patterns from current work (if exists) |
Process
Step 1: Review Conversation History
Analyze all messages in this conversation:
- User feedback and corrections
- Moments where instructions weren't followed
- Repeated issues or preferences
- Patterns that emerged during interaction
Step 2: Check Session Ledger (if exists)
[ -f ".agents/session_ledger.md" ] && cat ".agents/session_ledger.md"Extract any Key Decisions or patterns documented there.
Step 3: Identify Improvement Opportunities
Look for:
- Gaps in current AGENTS.md that led to misunderstandings
- User preferences that should be encoded
- Patterns that could prevent future issues
- Corrections that apply broadly (not one-off incidents)
Step 4: Generate Specific Improvements
Create actionable, specific edits. Each suggestion should:
- Be concrete (not vague principles)
- Prevent similar issues in future
- Address patterns, not one-off incidents
Step 5: Present Suggestions
Use this format:
## Session Reflection
### 1. [Pattern Name]
**Gap**: What's missing or unclear in AGENTS.md
**Proposed**: Specific text to add
**Reasoning**: Evidence from this session (e.g., "You corrected this 3 times")
### 2. [Pattern Name]
...Step 6: Apply Changes (if approved)
Use AskUserQuestion:
- "Would you like me to apply these improvements to AGENTS.md?"
If yes:
- Use Edit tool to update AGENTS.md
- Confirm changes were applied
Guidelines
- Only suggest improvements that genuinely enhance behavior
- Keep suggestions specific and actionable
- Don't suggest redundant rules
- Focus on patterns, not one-off incidents
- Maintain existing AGENTS.md structure and style
Example Output
## Session Reflection
### 1. Error Handling Preference
**Gap**: No guidance on error handling style
**Proposed**: "Always use try-catch blocks with specific error types rather than generic catches"
**Reasoning**: You corrected this pattern 3 times during our session
### 2. Import Organization
**Gap**: No import organization rules
**Proposed**: "Group imports by: 1) External packages, 2) Internal modules, 3) Types"
**Reasoning**: You consistently reorganized imports this way
Would you like me to apply these improvements to AGENTS.md?
