Claude Reflect - Self-Learning System
A two-stage system that helps Claude Code learn from user corrections.
How It Works
Stage 1: Capture (Automatic) Hooks detect correction patterns ("no, use X", "actually...", "use X not Y") and queue them to ~/.claude/learnings-queue.json.
Stage 2: Process (Manual) User runs /reflect to review and apply queued learnings to CLAUDE.md files.
Available Commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
/reflect | Process queued learnings with human review |
/reflect --scan-history | Scan past sessions for missed learnings |
/reflect --dry-run | Preview changes without applying |
/reflect-skills | Discover skill candidates from repeating patterns |
/skip-reflect | Discard all queued learnings |
/view-queue | View pending learnings without processing |
When to Remind Users
Remind users about /reflect when:
- They complete a feature or meaningful work unit
- They make corrections you should remember for future sessions
- They explicitly say "remember this" or similar
- Context is about to compact and queue has items
Correction Detection Patterns
High-confidence corrections:
- Tool rejections (user stops an action with guidance)
- "no, use X" / "don't use Y"
- "actually..." / "I meant..."
- "use X not Y" / "X instead of Y"
- "remember:" (explicit marker)
Learning Destinations

Example Interaction
User: no, use gpt-5.1 not gpt-5 for reasoning tasks
Claude: Got it, I'll use gpt-5.1 for reasoning tasks.
[Hook captures this correction to queue]
User: /reflect
Claude: Found 1 learning queued. "Use gpt-5.1 for reasoning tasks"
