When is the best time to use /ctx-reflect?

You should use it at natural breakpoints: when a feature is complete, after a long debugging session, when shifting to a new task, or right before ending your session.

What does the ctx-reflect skill do?

It prompts Claude to review the current session and suggest specific items to save, such as project-specific learnings, architectural decisions, and task updates, providing the exact commands to persist them.

How does this help with long-term AI context?

By identifying and 'crystallizing' important information into small, structured files, it allows future AI sessions to quickly rehydrate project context without needing to read through thousands of lines of previous chat history.

Does this skill automatically update my project files?

No. To maintain control, the skill identifies what should be saved and presents you with the specific commands. It only persists data after you give confirmation.

Productivity & Workflow

Synthesizes session progress to identify and persist critical project context, learnings, and decisions across AI coding sessions.

The ctx-reflect skill enables Claude to perform structured retrospectives at key breakpoints in a development session. By analyzing the session's arc, it identifies project-specific learnings, architectural trade-offs, and task completions that might otherwise be lost. It provides a bridge between active coding and long-term project memory, generating concrete persistence commands for the ctx system to ensure that future sessions benefit from the insights and decisions made today.

Key Features

01Intelligent session synthesis to summarize accomplishments and roadblocks.
