This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 4 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
reflect from microsoft/waza is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
Learning capture system that extracts HIGH/MED/LOW confidence patterns from conversations to prevent repeating mistakes. Use after user corrections ("no", "wrong"), praise ("perfect", "exactly"), or when discovering edge cases. Complements .squad/agents/{agent}/history.md and .squad/decisions.md.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Reflect Skill
**Critical learning capture system** for Squad. Prevents repeating mistakes and preserves successful patterns across sessions.
Analyze conversations and propose improvements to squad knowledge based on what worked, what didn't, and edge cases discovered. **Every correction is a learning opportunity.**
---
## Integration with Squad Architecture
**Reflect complements existing Squad knowledge systems:**
1. **Governed runtime memory** — Durable observations and decisions persisted through configured state tools
2. **Tracked governing source** — Coordinator prompts, skills, and other behavior-defining files changed through focused pull requests
3. **`reflect` skill** — Identifies learnings that may warrant either runtime memory or an approved tracked behavior change
**Workflow:**
- Use `reflect` during work to capture learnings
- At session end, review captured learnings
- Persist evidence through governed runtime memory when available
- Promote accepted behavior changes through the accountable specialist as tracked source changes in a focused PR
- Report adjacent improvements separately; do not expand the current scope without explicit user approval

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0-squad, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
A 17 of 17 checks passed. Fixed automatic checks with no AI involved, so the same checks give the same answer every run.
