About reflect
reflect is a Maestro skill that analyzes project audit and decision logs to assess command usage and workflow outcomes. It produces a data-based scorecard covering usage, completion, command flow, cost, and duration.
Key features
- 01Analyzes audit and decision logs
- 02Measures command usage and completion rates
- 03Examines command sequences and abandonment
- 04Summarizes estimated costs and durations
- 05Generates evidence-based workflow suggestions
Use cases
- 01Reviewing which commands are used or unused
- 02Identifying commands with frequent failures or abandonment
- 03Understanding command costs and duration patterns
Install
Copy the command and run it in a terminal.
npx skills add https:/ / github.com/ sharpdeveye/ maestro --skill reflectAfter installing, type/reflectin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.
Details
From the project READMEMANDATORY PREPARATION
Invoke /agent-workflow — it contains workflow principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no workflow context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-maestro first.
Analyze the Maestro audit trail and decision log to produce a skill-effectiveness scorecard. This tells you which commands work, which fail, and where your workflow needs attention.
Data Sources
Read these files from the project root:
.maestro/audit.jsonl— every command invocation with duration, cost, and outcome.maestro/decisions.jsonl— decisions made with outcomes and next steps
If neither file exists, respond: "No audit data found. Run commands with Maestro to start tracking, then come back."
Analysis Dimensions
1. Usage Frequency
- Which commands run most/least?
- Are any commands never used? (candidates for removal)
2. Completion Rate
- What % of invocations complete successfully?
- Which commands fail most often?
3. Command Flow
- What are the most common command sequences (A → B)?
- Which commands lead to follow-ups vs. abandonment?
- Abandonment rate per command (no follow-up within 30 min)
4. Cost Distribution
- Total estimated cost across all commands
- Cost per command (average)
- Most/least expensive commands
5. Duration Analysis
- Average duration per command
- Outliers (unusually slow invocations)

INSIGHTS:

2. [Data-driven observation with recommended action]
3. [Data-driven observation with recommended action]
Insights Rules
Every insight MUST:
- Reference specific data (e.g., "40% abandonment rate")
- Suggest a specific Maestro command to address it
- Distinguish correlation from causation
Reflection Checklist
- All 5 analysis dimensions covered
- Scorecard generated with real data
- Insights are data-driven, not speculative
- Cost estimates labeled as approximate (~)
- Recommended actions reference specific Maestro commands
Recommended Next Step
After reflecting, run /streamline to remove unused commands, or /refine on the most-abandoned command to improve its prompt quality.
NEVER:
- Require audit data to exist — degrade gracefully
- Invent metrics beyond what the logs contain
- Show cost data without the "estimate" disclaimer (~)
- Make judgments without evidence (say "100% completion rate" not "works great")
- Compare across projects — reflect is project-scoped
