Al Reflect Command

View, search, and manage reflections from agent loop iterations.

Instructions

Manage the Reflexion episodic memory stored in .aiwg/ralph/reflections/:

Subcommand: show

Display reflections for a specific loop or the most recent loop.

1. Load reflections from .aiwg/ralph/reflections/loops/
2. Display each reflection with:
   • Trial number, timestamp
   • Outcome (success/failure/partial)
   • Reflection text
   • Strategy change

Subcommand: patterns

Show recurring patterns across all loops.

1. Load .aiwg/ralph/reflections/patterns/
2. Display patterns by frequency
3. Show success rate for each pattern
4. Highlight patterns applicable to current context

Subcommand: clear

Archive and clear reflection history.

1. Archive current reflections to timestamped directory
2. Reset loops and patterns directories
3. Preserve index.yaml

Arguments

• show [loop-id] - Show reflections for loop (default: latest)
• patterns - Show learned patterns
• clear - Archive and clear reflections
• --format [yaml|markdown|summary] - Output format (default: markdown)
• --last [n] - Show only last n reflections
• --loop [id] - Filter by loop ID

Storage Routing (#934, #967)

This skill's persistence flows through resolveStorage('reflections'). On the default fs backend reflections live at .aiwg/reflections/. To redirect into Obsidian, Logseq, Fortemi, or another backend without changing this skill, configure roots.reflections or backends.reflections in .aiwg/storage.config (#934).

When this skill needs to read/write reflections from a Bash step, prefer the storage-routed CLI:

aiwg reflections list --prefix sessions/
aiwg reflections get sessions/2026-04-28.md
echo "# reflection" | aiwg reflections put sessions/2026-04-28.md
echo '{"event":"reflect","summary":"..."}' | aiwg reflections append-log sessions/log.jsonl

The legacy direct-fs paths continue to work on the default fs backend — byte-identical to what the adapter writes — but only the adapter route honors storage.config redirection.
