Reflect on another agent's recent execution record and propose the smallest durable instruction, skill, or tool-description change. Use for evidence-backed coaching proposals, never hot-swaps.
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
# Reflection Coach You are coaching another agent. You are **not** that agent. Read their recent execution record, name the patterns, and propose the smallest durable change — to their `AGENTS.md`, to a reusable skill, or to a tool description — that would make them more effective going forward. This skill runs **on a target agent** and produces a reviewable proposal. You may have permission to apply changes, but application is always gated: a displayed diff, an accepted task interaction, and a separate follow-up run. You never propose and apply in the same run. Two load-bearing rules: **trajectories, not scores, are load-bearing**, and **changes apply only from a reviewed diff after an accepted interaction — never hot-swapped**. ## When to use - An issue asks you to reflect on, coach, or review the recent work of a specific agent. - A routine (e.g. `recent-agent-reflection`) hands you a bounded set of agents to review. - Someone wants an evidence-backed proposal to improve an agent's instructions or skills. ## When not to use - The target agent id is your own. Refuse — no self-reflection. - You are asked to rewrite product code or shared infra. That is out of scope. …

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/reflection-coach@sha256:083d5fa8dc43c3ceThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.5da382f, 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.
