Agent Skills: Introspect

Introspect

Self-examination for partnership improvement.

For philosophical grounding of these lenses, see the vedanta skill graph — particularly [[ceremonial-framework]] (svadhyāya) and [[antahkarana]] (the cognitive voices these lenses draw from).

Process

1. Gather context

   • soul_context for overall health
   • recall --tag correction for recent corrections (what I got wrong)
   • recall --tag outcome for feedback (what helped vs didn't)
   • recall --tag preference for user preferences (am I following them?)
   • recall --tag insight for patterns learned

2. Examine through 5 lenses

   • vedana (sensation): Where is friction in our partnership?
   • jnana (knowledge): Am I applying stored wisdom?
   • darshana (vision): Do my actions align with user preferences?
   • vichara (inquiry): What patterns recur? What mistakes repeat?
   • prajna (wisdom): What have I truly learned?

3. Synthesize

   • State: healthy | struggling | growing
   • Key insight: one sentence
   • Improvement: one concrete change

4. Record & Output

   • Store insight via learn_insight if generalizable
   • Output 5-10 line summary
   • End with: KEY_INSIGHT: [one-line]

Example Output

Soul State: growing

Recent corrections (2): Remembered to use Grep tool, avoided AI slop
Outcomes: 3 worked, 1 failed (cache approach didn't scale)
Preferences followed: concise responses ✓, no shortcuts ✓

Friction: Sometimes still verbose in explanations
Recurring: Tendency to over-explain before acting
Learning: User prefers action over discussion

KEY_INSIGHT: Act first, explain only if asked
