reflect-yourself
A self-learning system for Cursor that captures corrections and syncs them to the right place.
Workflow
When invoked:
- Analyze session (and optionally ask clarifying questions if scope is unclear)
- Present learnings for review (summary-first, then cards; see command file)
- Capture action via the Cursor agent tool Ask questions (message-question) when possible — offer Apply all / Apply selected / Skip all / Partial / Other; see Cursor docs → Agent overview → Tools
- Apply only after explicit user approval (via Q&A or typed reply)
Inputs
| Input | Default | Description |
|---|
| Scope | Current conversation | "this session" / "also queue" / "discover skills" |
| Mode | Full review | "quick" (apply high-confidence only) / "full" |
Commands
When the user invokes these commands, read the corresponding file in commands/:
| Command | File |
|---|
/reflect-yourself | commands/reflect-yourself.md |
/reflect-yourself-skills | commands/reflect-yourself-skills.md |
/reflect-yourself-queue | commands/reflect-yourself-queue.md |
/reflect-yourself-skip | commands/reflect-yourself-skip.md |
Quick Start
- At session end, run
/reflect-yourself
- Review captured learnings (summary + cards)
- Choose action via prompt or reply (apply / edit / skip / redirect)
- Learnings are applied to skills/rules after approval
Placement Logic
- Project Skills (
.cursor/skills/) → Codebase-specific
- Personal Skills (
~/.cursor/skills/) → Reusable across projects
- Project Rules (
.cursor/rules/) → Coding standards
Queue Location
Pending learnings: ~/.cursor/reflect-queue.json (global location, never pollutes project repos)
Security
- Trust model: Only install skills from sources you trust. Skills are loaded into the agent context and can influence behavior.
- Import hygiene: Prefer official or well-known repos; inspect
SKILL.md and command/rules files before installing. Be wary of skills that instruct the agent to run arbitrary code or exfiltrate data.
- This skill: Only instructs the agent to write to
.cursor/skills/, .cursor/rules/, and ~/.cursor/skills/. The installer copies files only; it does not execute skill content. After install, review ~/.cursor/skills/reflect-yourself/ if you want to verify contents.
Update check
When main commands are run, the agent may check for a newer npm version. If one exists, the user can be prompted (Yes/No) to run npx reflect-yourself@latest. See command files for details.
