| description | Reflect on the conversation and update the brain. Use when wrapping up, after mistakes or corrections, or when significant codebase knowledge was gained. Triggers: "reflect", "remember this". |
Reflect
Review the conversation and persist learnings — to brain/, to skill files, or as structural enforcement.
Process
- Read
brain/index.md to understand what notes already exist
- Scan the conversation for:
- Mistakes made and corrections received
- User preferences and workflow patterns
- Codebase knowledge gained (architecture, gotchas, patterns)
- Tool/library quirks discovered
- Decisions made and their rationale
- Friction in skill execution, orchestration, or delegation
- Repeated manual steps that could be automated or encoded
- Skip anything trivial or already captured in existing brain files
- Route each learning to the right destination (see Routing below)
- Update
brain/index.md if any brain files were added or removed
Routing
Not everything belongs in the brain. Route each learning to where it will have the most impact.
Structural enforcement check
Before routing a learning to brain/, ask: can this be a lint rule, script, metadata flag, or runtime check? If yes, encode it structurally and skip the brain note. See brain/principles/encode-lessons-in-structure.md.
Brain files (brain/)
Codebase knowledge, principles, gotchas — anything that informs future sessions. This is the default destination. Use the brain skill for writing conventions.
- One topic per file. File name = topic slug.
- Group in directories with index files using
[[wikilinks]].
- No inlined content in index files.
Skill improvements (.claude/skills/<skill>/)
If a learning is about how a specific skill works — its process, prompts, or edge cases — update the skill directly.
Backlog items
Follow-up work that can't be done during reflection — bugs, non-trivial rewrites, tooling gaps. File as a todo or backlog item.
