Reflect on the conversation and update the brain. An agent skill from poteto/noodle.

  • Works in 5 steps: Read brain/index.md to understand what… → Scan the conversation for → Skip anything trivial or already… → …

What it does

Reflect is an agent skill from poteto/noodle. Reflect on the conversation and update the brain. Use when wrapping up, after mistakes or corrections, or when significant codebase knowledge was gained. Triggers: "reflect", "remember this".

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Orchestrate agents using skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Significant codebase knowledge was gained

Example prompts

  • “reflect”
  • “remember this”
  • “/reflect”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read brain/index.md to understand what notes already exist
  2. Scan the conversation for
  3. Skip anything trivial or already captured in existing brain files
  4. Route each learning to the right destination (see Routing below)
  5. Update brain/index.md if any brain files were added or removed

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82d2921. 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.

    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 loads about 734 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~734

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.

description
Reflect on the conversation and update the brain. Use when wrapping up, after mistakes or corrections, or when significant codebase knowledge was gained. Triggers: "reflect", "remember this".
schedule
Follow-up stage after quality — capture learnings from the completed execute→quality cycle.

Reflect

Review the conversation and persist learnings — to brain/, to skill files, or as structural enforcement.

Process

Use Tasks to track progress (TaskCreate per step, TaskUpdate to in_progress/completed).

  1. Read brain/index.md to understand what notes already exist
  2. Scan the conversation for:
    • Mistakes made and corrections received
    • User preferences and workflow patterns
    • Codebase knowledge gained (architecture, gotchas, patterns)
    • Tool/library quirks discovered
    • Decisions made and their rationale
    • Friction in skill execution, orchestration, or delegation
    • Repeated manual steps that could be automated or encoded
  3. Skip anything trivial or already captured in existing brain files
  4. Route each learning to the right destination (see Routing below)
  5. Update brain/index.md if any brain files were added or removed

Routing

Not everything belongs in the brain. Route each learning to where it will have the most impact.

Structural enforcement check

Before routing a learning to brain/, ask: can this be a lint rule, script, metadata flag, or runtime check? If yes, encode it structurally and skip the brain note. See brain/principles/encode-lessons-in-structure.md.

Brain files (brain/)

Codebase knowledge, delegation principles, gotchas — anything that informs future sessions. This is the default destination. Use the brain skill for writing conventions.

  • One topic per file. File name = topic slug.
  • Group in directories with index files using [[wikilinks]].
  • No inlined content in index files.
Skill improvements (.agents/skills/<skill>/)

If a learning is about how a specific skill works — its process, prompts, or edge cases — update the skill directly. Use the skill-creator skill for guidelines on effective skill content.

Orchestration workflow improvements

If the session revealed systemic orchestration issues, route to:

  • Brain principle (new delegation heuristic) → brain/delegation/
  • Skill mechanics change (monitoring loop, review step) → relevant skill file
  • New skill opportunity (recurring workflow that could be encoded) → note in summary for the user
Backlog items (brain/todos.md)

Follow-up work that can't be done during reflection — bugs, non-trivial rewrites, tooling gaps. Use the todo skill to file.
