Session Reflect

Analyze Claude Code session history to generate self-observation journals, detect goal drift, and surface hidden behavioral patterns. Outputs to Obsidian Vault.

Turn your Claude Code conversation history into a mirror.

This skill extracts your messages from Claude Code sessions, syncs them into your Obsidian Vault, and generates self-observation journals that help you understand your own patterns, priorities, and blind spots.

What It Does

Command	Purpose	Data Range
/reflect	Daily observation — what you're doing, how you're doing, emotional state	1-3 days
/reflect drift	Goal drift detection — stated goals vs actual behavior	7 days
/reflect emerge	Hidden pattern surfacing — unconscious preferences, avoidance patterns	14 days

Each command outputs a structured markdown file to your Obsidian Vault with observations and actionable suggestions.

Setup

1. Install

bash

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/yuiooo1102-droid/session-reflect.git ~/coding/session-reflect

# Or install as Claude Code command
mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands/reflect
cp commands/reflect/*.md ~/.claude/commands/reflect/

2. Initialize

bash

python3 ~/coding/session-reflect/extract_sessions.py init
# You will be prompted to enter your Obsidian Vault path

3. Backfill History (Optional)

bash

# By day
python3 ~/coding/session-reflect/extract_sessions.py backfill

# By week (recommended for long history)
python3 ~/coding/session-reflect/extract_sessions.py backfill --weekly

4. Use

bash

# Sync new sessions (run before each reflect)
python3 ~/coding/session-reflect/extract_sessions.py sync

# Or just use the slash commands — they auto-sync
/reflect
/reflect drift
/reflect emerge

Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Claude Code (sessions stored in ~/.claude/projects/)
• An Obsidian Vault (any location)

Privacy

• All processing is local — no data leaves your machine
• API keys, tokens, JWTs, passwords are automatically redacted
• System prompts and boilerplate are filtered out
• Code blocks are replaced with [CODE_BLOCK] placeholders
• Messages are truncated at 2000 characters
