memory-reflectSleep-time memory reflection: review recent conversations and daily notes, extract insights, and consolidate into long-term memory.
Memory Reflect is an agent skill from basicmachines-co/basic-memory. Sleep-time memory reflection: review recent conversations and daily notes, extract insights, and consolidate into long-term memory. Use when triggered by cron, heartbeat, or explicit request to reflect on recent activity. Runs as background processing to improve memory quality over time.
Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Agent memory, Note-taking and Scheduled and recurring tasks. The repository describes itself as: AI conversations that actually remember. Never re-explain your project to your AI again. Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/tyvKNccgqN. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6982cfc. 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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and markdown).
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.
Memory Reflect loads about 763 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 309 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Inspired by sleep-time compute — the idea that memory formation happens best between active sessions, not during them.
Find what changed recently, then read the relevant files:
# Find recently modified notes — json gives structured rows; text output

recent_activity(timeframe="2d", output_format="json")
# Read specific daily notes
read_note(identifier="memory/<YYYY-MM-DD>")
# Check active tasks
search_notes(note_types=["task"], status="active")For each piece of information, ask:
Write consolidated insights to MEMORY.md following its existing structure:

Sleep-time memory reflection: review recent conversations and daily notes, extract insights, and consolidate into long-term memory. Memory Reflect is an agent skill from basicmachines-co/basic-memory. Sleep-time memory reflection: review recent conversations and daily notes, extract insights, and consolidate into long-term memory.
Memory Reflect fits situations like: triggered by cron; explicit request to reflect on recent activity.
Run `npx skills add basicmachines-co/basic-memory --skill memory-reflect -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/memory-reflect in basicmachines-co/basic-memory) into .claude/skills/memory-reflect in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add basicmachines-co/basic-memory --skill memory-reflect -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/memory-reflect in basicmachines-co/basic-memory) into .agents/skills/memory-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 basicmachines-co/basic-memory --skill memory-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/memory-reflect, .gemini/skills/memory-reflect, .github/skills/memory-reflect and .opencode/skills/memory-reflect in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Memory Reflect is instructions for the agent only. 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. Review the folder before installing.
Memory Reflect is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 763 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
