At a glance

Starts three parallel reviewer subagents over the current conversation transcript, then turns their findings into concrete edits to existing skills.

  • Works in 6 steps: Locate the active transcript → Spawn three reviewers in parallel → Synthesize → …
  • Wrapping up a long session by capturing what the agent learned
  • SKILL.md covers When to invoke and Process
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

The skill runs when you say reflect and skips conversations that are trivial, off-topic or already handled correctly by an existing skill, since one-offs are not learnings. The parent agent finds its own transcript in the active workspace's `agent-transcripts/` directory rather than searching across projects, which would expose private chats from unrelated work. It matches the file by the opening user prompt, handles three transcript layouts and falls back to a short digest of the session.

It then launches three reviewers in one message as general-purpose subagents that are not read-only, so they keep MCP access for ticket, chat and trace lookups. The lenses are judgment, tooling and divergent, each with its own template under `references/`, and models come from role lines in a `pstack-models.mdc` rule with defaults. The findings go to a synthesizer, described in `references/synthesizer.md`, which routes each learning to an edit on a specific existing skill.

When your agent uses it

  • Wrapping up a long session by capturing what the agent learned
  • Turning repeated corrections into edits to an existing skill
  • Reviewing a transcript from several angles before updating team skills

Example prompts

  • “Reflect on this session and propose edits to the skills we used.”
  • “/reflect and focus on the mistakes I corrected during the migration work.”
  • “Run the three reviewers on this transcript and show me which skills would change.”

Requirements

  • Cursor with its Task subagent tool
  • Access to the workspace's agent transcripts folder

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate the active transcript
  2. Spawn three reviewers in parallel
  3. Synthesize
  4. Structural enforcement check
  5. Apply
  6. Summarize for the user

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f451cf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Reflect on Session Learnings loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.2k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 623 words (~1,248 tokens).

“Mine the current conversation for durable learnings, then route them into skill edits.”
