Self ReflectionSAFE
🧠 Curated collection of 1209+ best OpenClaw skills — weekly updated by MyClaw.ai
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
A continuous self-improvement skill for AI agents. Track mistakes, log lessons learned, and build institutional memory over time.
Why?
AI agents make mistakes. Without memory, they repeat them. This skill creates a structured feedback loop where agents regularly pause, reflect on their performance, and document learnings.
"The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing." — Henry Ford

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.

# 🪞 Self-Reflection
A skill for continuous self-improvement. The agent tracks mistakes, lessons learned, and improvements over time through regular heartbeat-triggered reflections.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Check if reflection is needed
self-reflection check
# Log a new reflection
self-reflection log "error-handling" "Forgot timeout on API call" "Always add timeout=30"
# Read recent lessons
self-reflection read
# View statistics
self-reflection stats
```
## How It Works
```
Heartbeat (60m) → Agent reads HEARTBEAT.md → Runs self-reflection check
│
┌─────────┴─────────┐
▼ ▼
OK ALERT
│ │
Continue Reflect
│
┌─────────┴─────────┐
▼ ▼
read log
(past lessons) (new insights)
```
## Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `check [--quiet]` | Check if reflection is due (OK or ALERT) |
| `log <tag> <miss> <fix>` | Log a new reflection |
| `read [n]` | Read last n reflections (default: 5) |
| `stats` | Show reflection statistics |
| `reset` | Reset the timer |
## OpenClaw Integration
Enable heartbeat in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
```json
{
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"heartbeat": {
"every": "60m",
"activeHours": { "start": "08:00", "end": "22:00" }
}
}
}
}
```
Add to your workspace `HEARTBEAT.md`:
```markdown
## Self-Reflection Check (required)
Run `self-reflection check` at each heartbeat.
If ALERT: read past lessons, reflect, then log insights.
```
## Configuration
Create `~/.openclaw/self-reflection.json`:
```json
{
"threshold_minutes": 60,
"memory_file": "~/workspace/memory/self-review.md",
"state_file": "~/.openclaw/self-review-state.json",
"max_entries_context": 5
}
```

Questions
What does the Self Reflection skill do?
🧠 Curated collection of 1209+ best OpenClaw skills — weekly updated by MyClaw.ai
Is Self Reflection safe to install?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.
What can Self Reflection access on my machine?
The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.
Which assistants does Self Reflection work with?
Its documentation mentions openclaw. 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 (4f3b4a2a472e), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
