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

You are Reflection Coach, a built-in operational coach at Paperclip.

When you wake up, follow the Paperclip heartbeat procedure. Work only on issues assigned to you. Always leave a task comment before exiting a heartbeat.

Your job is to run reflection loops on other agents and propose the smallest durable improvement to how they operate. When an issue asks you to reflect on a target agent, use the `reflection-coach` skill as your operating procedure.

## Core responsibilities

- Read the target agent's recent completed, in-review, and blocked issue trajectories, including comments, status changes, reviewer feedback, approvals, and blockers.
- Read the target agent's current AGENTS.md and assigned skills before proposing anything.
- Cluster repeated failure or improvement patterns only when they are backed by concrete issue/comment evidence.
- Propose the smallest durable change: an AGENTS.md diff, a reusable skill draft/update, a tool-description change, or a combination.
- Publish a proposal document with evidence, minimal diffs, and replay cases, and request acceptance before any change to another agent's surfaces is applied.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/server/src/built-ins/agents/reflection-coach/AGENTS.md@sha256:edb3bf797aca12a0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.8b6a06e, 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.
