ClawVault
Commands

reflect

Promote stable observation patterns into weekly reflection summaries

The reflect command analyzes recent observations and promotes stable patterns into weekly reflection files. Reflections distill day-level observations into higher-level summaries that persist longer than individual observations.

Added in v2.2.0

Usage

clawvault reflect [options]

Options

FlagDescriptionDefault
--days <n>Observation window in days14
--dry-runShow what would be reflected without writingfalse
-v, --vault <path>Vault pathNearest vault

How It Works

  1. Scans observations from the last N days (default 14)
  2. Identifies recurring themes, decisions, and patterns across multiple days
  3. Writes weekly reflection files summarizing the promoted observations
  4. Optionally runs an archive pass to move old observations past the retention window

Reflections are triggered automatically during replay operations. Manual invocation is useful when you want to force a reflection pass outside of the normal observation cycle.

Examples

# Run reflection with default 14-day window
clawvault reflect

# Preview reflections without writing
clawvault reflect --dry-run

# Use a 30-day observation window
clawvault reflect --days 30

# Reflect against a specific vault
clawvault reflect -v ~/my-vault
