When should I use the reflect skill?

The reflect skill is designed to be used as the final stage of a project, typically after the evolve stage or once a functional prototype has been completed.

Does the reflection process modify my source code?

No, the reflection process is purely for documentation and learning. It generates a separate reflect.md file that does not affect your production code.

Why does the skill focus so much on failures?

Documenting what didn't work is often more valuable than documenting what did. It prevents 'reinventing the wheel' or choosing the wrong tools in future projects.

How does this help with quantitative development?

It provides specific prompts to evaluate if your tech stack (like Node.js vs Python) caused friction during complex calculations or data validation tasks.

Captures post-project learnings and tech stack retrospectives to improve future development efficiency and decision-making.

Reflect is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to close the learning loop after project completion. Acting as a 'Cognition Mate,' it guides developers through a structured post-mortem of their work, focusing heavily on identifying tech stack frictions, time-wasting pitfalls, and reusable patterns. By documenting what didn't work—particularly in complex domains like finance and quantitative development—it transforms raw experience into actionable insights stored in a dedicated reflection file, ensuring that expensive mistakes are never repeated.
