From the author
Mid-conversation reflection skill that pauses execution and zooms out from detail-mode to honestly reassess direction, assumptions, and bias. Use when the user says 'reflect', 'take a step back', 'step back', 'zoom out', 'are we missing something', 'bigger picture', 'sanity check this', 'are we on track', 'are we overthinking this', 'forest for the trees', or any variation signaling intent to break out of detail-mode and reassess. Also trigger when the conversation has gone deep on implementation details without strategic check-in, or when the user shows signs of being stuck — that's often a signal the framing needs a reset, not more detail work. Intentionally low-intake: runs the 5-dimension analysis immediately when prior context is rich enough; asks one forcing clarifier only when invocation context is too thin to reassess from.

- reflect-and-improveShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skillsThe reflection agent. Use it right after another skill produces an artifact such as a rewrite from polish-prose, a rebuttal, an abstract, a preflight fix, or a tailored draft to critique that output against the stated goal, the paper's .paper-memory/profile.yml, the relevant rubric, and past .paper-memory/lessons.md, then decide whether it actually improved. Trigger words include reflect, self-critique, did this get better, did my edit help, regression check, review my own output, iterate, refine, second pass, sanity-check the rewrite, and "is the new version actually better". Runs a bounded self-refine / Reflexion loop, guards against regressions, and appends durable, deduplicated, dated lessons to .paper-memory/lessons.md via a stdlib script so the toolkit gets sharper each paper. Reflection adds cost; it only pays off when there is a measurable target.Science★ 55
- reflect-outcomeDheerG/swarmsDetects when a stated outcome names a specific instance — a mechanism-as-means or a single named product — where a category was meant, and returns a neutral fork for the lead to show the user, or nothing. Invoked by launch commands at outcome capture, in place of the verbatim echo.Planning★ 85
- meditationtmcfarlane/team-avatarAang meditating to see clearly. Use for reflect, /reflect, "reflect on this session", "what did we learn", or "turn this into skill edits". Dispatches three parallel reviewers over the active Claude Code or Codex transcript, surfaces durable learnings, and routes each to a concrete edit on an existing skill, held for the user's approval.Writing★ 110
- refocusingmvschwarz/openrigUse when a long-running agent may have lost the product outcome, when context was compacted, when work has crossed a major boundary, or when a fresh path-based trace is needed before the next consequential action. Not for fresh-session orientation, waking an idle seat, or checkpoints.Productivity★ 8.2K
- recallmichael-denyer/pstack-claudeReconstruct your recent working context from your own chat history, live state, and the shared record (user reports, prior fixes, incidents), then hand back a tight current-state brief. Use for 'recall my work on X', 'catch me up', 'what have I been working on', 'where did I leave off', before starting or resuming work, and before telling the user that something was never recorded.Productivity★ 3.4K
- reflection-coachpaperclipai/paperclipReflect on another agent's recent execution record and propose the smallest durable instruction, skill, or tool-description change. Use for evidence-backed coaching proposals, never hot-swaps.Other★ 107.1K
