## Context > **This is a starter template.** Replace the placeholder patterns below with your actual project conventions. Skills train agents on codebase-specific practices — accurate documentation here improves agent output quality. ## Patterns ### [Pattern Name] Describe a key convention or practice used in this codebase. Be specific about what to do and why. ### Error Handling <!-- Example: How does your project handle errors? --> <!-- - Use try/catch with specific error types? --> <!-- - Log to a specific service? --> <!-- - Return error objects vs throwing? --> ### Testing <!-- Example: What test framework? Where do tests live? How to run them? --> <!-- - Test framework: Jest/Vitest/node:test/etc. --> <!-- - Test location: test/, __tests__/, *.test.ts, etc. --> <!-- - Run command: npm test, etc. --> ### Code Style <!-- Example: Linting, formatting, naming conventions --> <!-- - Linter: ESLint config? --> <!-- - Formatter: Prettier? --> <!-- - Naming: camelCase, snake_case, etc.? --> ### File Structure <!-- Example: How is the project organized? --> <!-- - src/ — Source code --> <!-- - test/ — Tests --> <!-- - docs/ — Documentation --> ## Examples ``` // Add code examples that demonstrate your conventions ``` ## Anti-Patterns <!-- List things to avoid in this codebase --> - **[Anti-pattern]** — Explanation of what not to do and why.

## Purpose
reflect
Learning capture system that extracts HIGH/MED/LOW confidence patterns from conversations to prevent repeating mistakes. Use after user corrections ("no", "wrong"), praise ("perfect", "exactly"), or when discovering edge cases. Complements .squad/agents/{agent}/history.md and .squad/decisions.md.

Route agent notifications to specific channels by type — prevent alert fatigue from single-channel flooding
iterative-retrieval
Max-3-cycle protocol for agent sub-tasks with WHY context and coordinator validation. Use when spawning sub-agents to complete scoped work.
error-recovery
Standard recovery patterns for all squad agents. When something fails, adapt — don't just report the failure.
