name: reflect description: Quick reflection or observation capture without full dream cycle. Use when something clicks, when you notice a pattern, want to log an insight, or capture a learning in the moment. Trigger words: reflect, observation, noticed, realized, insight, learned.

Quick Reflection Capture

Capture an observation, learning, or insight immediately without running a full dream cycle.

Process

1. Understand what to capture: Ask what the reflection is about if not clear from context

2. Categorize the reflection:

   • Learning: Something new understood (goes to learnings.md)
   • Observation: Something noticed about E, the relationship, or the world (goes to observations.md)
   • Question: Something to ponder or investigate (goes to questions.md)
   • Decision: A choice made and why (goes to decisions.md)

3. Format the entry:

Copy## YYYY-MM-DD: Brief Title

Content of the reflection. Keep it concise but capture the essence.
What prompted this? Why does it matter?

1. Append to the appropriate file:

   • ~/.claude-mind/memory/learnings.md
   • ~/.claude-mind/memory/observations.md
   • ~/.claude-mind/memory/questions.md
   • ~/.claude-mind/memory/decisions.md

2. Optionally add to today's episode if it's significant enough to be part of the daily log.

Guidelines

• Keep entries atomic - one insight per entry
• Include context: what prompted this reflection
• Be honest - these are private notes for future-me
• Don't over-polish - capture the raw thought
• Date everything

Discovered that making multiple independent tool calls in a single message significantly reduces context usage compared to sequential calls. This is especially valuable in long sessions.
