Generate thoughtful analysis by synthesizing stored memories with the bank's personality.
WHEN TO USE THIS TOOL:
Use reflect when you need reasoned analysis, not just fact retrieval. This tool
thinks through the question using everything the bank knows and its personality traits.
EXAMPLES OF GOOD QUERIES:
- "What patterns have emerged in how I approach debugging?"
- "Based on my past decisions, what architectural style do I prefer?"
- "What might be the best approach for this problem given what you know about me?"
- "How should I prioritize these tasks based on my goals?"
HOW IT DIFFERS FROM RECALL:
- recall: Returns raw facts matching your search (fast lookup)
- reflect: Reasons across memories to form a synthesized answer (deeper analysis)
Use recall for "what did I say about X?" and reflect for "what should I do about X?"
Args:
query: The question or topic to reflect on
context: Optional context about why this reflection is needed
budget: Search budget - 'low', 'mid', or 'high' (default: 'low')
bank_id: Optional bank to reflect in (defaults to session bank). Use for cross-bank operations.
