What it tells the agent
The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.
--- name: reflect description: Spawn three parallel review subagents over the active transcript, surface learnings, and route each to a concrete edit on an existing skill. Use when the user says reflect. disable-model-invocation: true --- # Reflect Mine the current conversation for durable learnings, then route them into skill edits. Invoke when the user says "reflect" or "/reflect". Skip when the conversation is trivial, off-topic, or already covered by an existing skill the parent followed correctly. One-offs are not learnings. ## 1. Locate the active transcript Before fanning out, find this conversation's transcript in the `agent-transcripts/` directory the system prompt names. Do not glob across `~/.cursor/projects/*/`. That crosses workspace boundaries and reads private chats from unrelated projects. ```bash ls -t <agent-transcripts>/*.jsonl <agent-transcripts>/*/*.jsonl <agent-transcripts>/*/subagents/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -10 ``` That covers the legacy flat (`<id>.jsonl`), current nested (`<id>/<id>.jsonl`), and subagent (`<parent>/subagents/<child>.jsonl`) layouts. For each candidate, read the first JSONL line. Take the file whose `message.content[0].text` contains the conversation's opening user prompt. If none matches, pass a tight digest of the session instead. ## 2. Spawn three reviewers in parallel One message, three `Task` calls, `subagent_type: generalPurpose`, agent mode (`readonly: false`). Reviewers need MCP access to look up the tickets, chat threads, and observability traces the transcript references, and readonly strips MCPs. Each reviewer and the synthesizer name a role line in the `pstack-models.mdc` rule and a default. Set `model` to that line's value, or to the default if the rule or the line is missing. Leave `model` unset when the value is `auto` or `inherit-parent`. If the Task tool rejects a slug, use the default and say so. If it rejects the default, use the closest valid slug of the same family from its error message. | Lens | Role line | Default `model` | Prompt template | |---|---|---|---| | Judgment | `reflect judgment, divergent, synthesizer` | `claude-opus-5-5-xhigh` | `references/judgment-reviewer.md` | | Tooling | `reflect tooling` | `grok-4.7-xhigh-fast` | `references/tooling-reviewer.md` | | Divergent | `reflect judgment, divergent, synthesizer` | `claude-opus-5-5-xhigh` | `references/divergent-reviewer.md` | Pass each template verbatim, substituting the transcript path or digest where marked. Reviewers return findings in the `Task` response body. ## 3. Synthesize One `Task` call, `subagent_type: generalPurpose`, `model` from the `reflect judgment, divergent, synthesizer` line (default `claude-opus-5-5-xhigh`), agent mode (`readonly: false`). It spot-verifies citations through MCP, and readonly strips MCPs. Pass `references/synthesizer.md` verbatim, with each reviewer's full output inlined where marked. It returns an Accepted / Rejected / Backlog list. ## 4. Structural enforcement check Move any Accepted item that a lint rule, script, metadata flag, or runtime check would enforce more reliably to Backlog. See the **encode-lessons-in-structure** principle skill. ## 5. Apply Present the synthesizer's full Accepted / Rejected / Backlog output and wait for explicit approval before applying any Accepted edit. The user picks the subset and may redirect routings. Skill changes affect every future agent in the org. Do not auto-apply. File each Backlog item to your team's devex or backlog tracker without waiting. Only the Accepted list waits for approval. Follow each approved row's Routing exactly: - Trivial existing-skill edit (a one-line bullet, a tightened sentence, a stale fact corrected): the parent does it directly. - Substantive existing-skill edit (a new section, a new pattern table, more than ~10 lines): hand to Cursor's built-in `create-skill` skill and run its draft / test / iterate loop. - `tune description: <skill path>` (the skill exists but didn't trigger when it should have): hand to `create-skill` and run its description-optimization loop. - `new skill via create-skill: <kebab-name>`: hand creation to `create-skill`. Do not invent the shape ad hoc. If your environment ships a SKILL.md validator, run it on every touched skill before declaring done. ## 6. Summarize for the user Short list, no preamble: - Edits applied: `<skill path>`. What changed, one line each. - New skills created: `<skill path>`. One line each (rare). - Backlog filed to the devex tracker: `<issue title>` (`<tags>`). One line each. - Dropped: one line per rejected finding + reason from the synthesizer.

Questions
What does the Reflect skill do?
Cursor plugin specification and official plugins
Is Reflect safe to install?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (69/100) and found 4 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.
What can Reflect access on my machine?
The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.
Which assistants does Reflect work with?
Its documentation mentions cursor. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (890eaf6b2ddd), read on 2026-10-12. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
