The skill document

🪞 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

# 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`	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:

{
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "heartbeat": {
        "every": "60m",
        "activeHours": { "start": "08:00", "end": "22:00" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to your workspace HEARTBEAT.md:

## 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:

{
  "threshold_minutes": 60,
  "memory_file": "~/workspace/memory/self-review.md",
  "state_file": "~/.openclaw/self-review-state.json",
  "max_entries_context": 5
}
