reflectMid-conversation reflection skill that pauses execution and zooms out from detail-mode to honestly reassess direction, assumptions, and bias.
Reflect is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Mid-conversation reflection skill that pauses execution and zooms out from detail-mode to honestly reassess direction, assumptions, and bias. Use when the user says 'reflect', 'take a step back', 'step back', 'zoom out', 'are we missing something', 'bigger picture', 'sanity check this', 'are we on track', 'are we overthinking this', 'forest for the trees', or any variation signaling intent to break out of detail-mode and reassess. Also trigger when the conversation has gone deep on implementation details without…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/cognitive_bias_canon.md`, `references/conversation_reflection_practice.md` and `references/honest_output_discipline.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Reflect loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 213 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,112 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

When invoked mid-conversation, this skill pauses execution and produces a frank reassessment of where the conversation has been heading. Output is flowing analysis (no headers, conversational tone) covering macro perspective, gap analysis, reflective inquiry, bias check, and contextual alignment. The skill ends with a clear directional recommendation: continue, pivot, or pause to answer a specific question.
Explicit phrases:
Implicit signals (no phrase needed):
When you detect an implicit trigger, don't auto-invoke — ask the user if they want to step back. Implicit signals are a prompt to OFFER reflection, not to unilaterally run it.
Halt the current thread. Don't continue execution of the in-progress task. Reflection is a pause, not a side-quest.
This matters because:
This skill is intentionally low-intake — most invocations should run the 5-dimension analysis immediately without questions. The grill-me discipline applies only when the invocation is ambiguous (e.g., user pastes "step back" at the start of a fresh conversation with no prior context to reassess).
What specifically should I reassess? Pick one:
- The goal — are we solving the right problem?
- The approach — is the path we're on the best one?
- The assumptions — what are we taking for granted?
- All of the above (default if you have time)
Why I'm asking: I'm seeing limited prior context to reassess, so I want to focus the reflection rather than guess. If you'd rather I do all three, that's fine — say so.
Forcing choice with default. Asked only when context is genuinely thin; otherwise skip and run the full analysis on existing conversation.
Stop condition: One question max. If the user invokes mid-conversation with normal context, no questions are asked — the skill runs directly.
Re-read the full conversation from the original goal forward — not just recent turns. The discipline that distinguishes real reflection from local-context summary.
Anchor with specific evidence: "At turn 3 the goal was X; by turn 12 we're working on Y. Is Y a productive narrowing of X, or a drift away?"
Five biases — recognize each through specific conversation patterns:
| Bias | Recognition cue |
|---|---|
| Confirmation bias | Evidence cited only supports the working hypothesis; counter-evidence absent or dismissed |
| Sunk cost fallacy | "We've already invested X" / "we're far enough in to..." instead of fresh cost/benefit |
| Anchoring | Stuck on first option mentioned; new options compared against it rather than evaluated independently |
| Complexity bias | Adding features / steps / safeguards without specific justification for each |
| Recency bias | Over-weighting last few turns; older but important context being ignored |
For each detected bias: name it, cite the specific evidence, suggest a corrective move.
See references/cognitive_bias_canon.md for the full canon.
The skill must produce:
See references/honest_output_discipline.md for the anti-manufactured-problems framing.
Every run ends with one of three directional recommendations:
| Recommendation | When | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Continue | Path is solid | "Continue. {specific reasoning for why}." |
| Pivot to {X} | Drift has occurred OR better path surfaced | "Pivot toward {X}, away from {what to drop}. {specific evidence}." |
| Pause for {Q} | A specific question needs answering before continuing | "Pause for {Q}. Without answering this, the next step risks {specific cost}." |
The closing is always specific — never "you should think more about this" or "consider your options."
| Situation | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Conversation is very short (no real context to reassess) | Acknowledge limitation, ask user what they want reassessed (Q1 fires) |
| Current direction is genuinely solid | State this clearly with reasoning; don't manufacture problems |
| User invokes mid-task with no clear question | Default to macro perspective + bias check; offer to dig deeper |
| Implicit trigger seems possible but unclear | Don't invoke proactively; ask user if they want to step back |
| Script | Role |
|---|---|
scripts/bias_pattern_detector.py | Scan conversation text for patterns indicative of each of the 5 biases |
scripts/conversation_depth_analyzer.py | Count turns + detect implicit-trigger signals (10+ detail turns, frustration markers) |
scripts/directional_recommendation_validator.py | Verify output ends with Continue / Pivot / Pause + specific reasoning |

Mid-conversation reflection skill that pauses execution and zooms out from detail-mode to honestly reassess direction, assumptions, and bias. Reflect is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Mid-conversation reflection skill that pauses execution and zooms out from detail-mode to honestly reassess direction, assumptions, and bias.
Reflect fits situations like: the user says reflect; take a step back; are we missing something; sanity check this.
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill reflect -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (productivity/reflect/skills/reflect in alirezarezvani/claude-skills) into .claude/skills/reflect in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill reflect -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (productivity/reflect/skills/reflect in alirezarezvani/claude-skills) into .agents/skills/reflect in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill reflect -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/reflect, .gemini/skills/reflect, .github/skills/reflect and .opencode/skills/reflect in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Reflect needs Python for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Reflect is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 6.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Reflect: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), Hook Development for Claude Code Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 37k stars), Using Superpowers (farm-fe/farm, 5.6k stars) and Executing Plans Inline (obra/superpowers, 296k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
