Daily reflection
Every evening the AI writes a short journal about how working with me went that day: what worked, what wasted time, and one rule it thinks it should follow. Only my yes turns a rule into a rule.
- Why
- I told it: 'the reflections of your interactions with me are needed to improve how you work with me.' The goal is for the AI to earn more freedom, with guardrails.
- How long
- Written 20 Aug 2026; 55 entries by late October
How I built it
- A scheduled task at 8 pm reads the day's sessions, the changes to my notes and the open task queue.
- It writes five headings: what we worked on, what worked, what cost time, signals it noticed, and one candidate rule.
- A rule can be proposed only after the same thing has shown up at least 3 times in different sessions.
- It proposes the rule in chat. Nothing changes until I say yes.
- Some things never move, however many reflections pass: sending as me, money, deleting, and my private notes.
- To copy it you need
- Claude, or the AI of your choice, with Claude Code scheduled tasks and a notes folder. The gotcha: write down the things that can never change before you let it propose changes.
Try it yourself
Copy this prompt and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude to try it yourself.
I'm looking at Shweta Kamble's daily reflection on whatarewebuilding.ai. Every evening a scheduled Claude task reads the day's sessions and writes five headings: what we worked on, what worked, what cost time, signals it noticed, and one candidate rule. A rule is proposed only after the same thing shows up 3 times in different sessions, and nothing changes without Shweta's yes. Some things never move: sending as Shweta, money, deleting. Help me set up the same for how I work with you. Ask me what should never change, write that list first, then write the evening routine's instructions. Ask me for anything you need.
