Reflect Notes

Append to daily notes and create notes in Reflect. Use for capturing thoughts, todos, or syncing information to your knowledge graph.

Reflect Notes Skill

Reflect is a networked note-taking app. Notes are E2E encrypted, so the API is append-only — we can write but not read note contents.

Setup

1. Create OAuth credentials at https://reflect.app/developer/oauth
2. Generate an access token from that interface
3. Set environment variables:

   bash

   export REFLECT_TOKEN="your-access-token"
   export REFLECT_GRAPH_ID="your-graph-id"  # Find via: curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $REFLECT_TOKEN" https://reflect.app/api/graphs
   

Or store in 1Password and update scripts/reflect.sh with your vault/item path.

What We Can Do

1. Append to daily notes — Add items to today's note (or a specific date)
2. Create new notes — Create standalone notes with subject + markdown content
3. Create links — Save bookmarks with highlights
4. Get links/books — Retrieve saved links and books

Helper Script

Use scripts/reflect.sh for common operations:

bash

# Append to daily note
./scripts/reflect.sh daily "Remember to review PR #6"

# Append to specific list in daily note  
./scripts/reflect.sh daily "Buy milk" "[[Shopping]]"

# Create a new note
./scripts/reflect.sh note "Meeting Notes" "# Standup\n\n- Discussed X\n- Action item: Y"

# Save a link
./scripts/reflect.sh link "https://example.com" "Example Site" "Great resource"

Use Cases

• Capture todos from chat → append to daily note
• Save interesting links mentioned in conversation
• Create meeting notes or summaries
• Sync reminders to Reflect for persistence
• Backlink to lists like [[Ideas]] or [[Project Name]]

Limitations

• Cannot read note contents (E2E encrypted)
• Append-only — can't edit or delete existing content
• No search — can't query existing notes
