modbender Agentic Compass — AI Agent Self-Reflection Tool
Local-only self-reflection that forces objective action for AI agents. No data leaves your machine.
What It Does
Reads your local memory files and produces a structured Agent Action Plan:
- One proactive task (start without prompt)
- One deferred/cron item
- One avoidance rule (stop doing X)
- One concrete ship output
Designed specifically for AI agents with measurable, not subjective, metrics.
Usage
# Print plan
python3 scripts/agentic-compass.py
# Write plan to memory/agentic-compass.md
python3 scripts/agentic-compass.py --write
# Use custom memory paths
python3 scripts/agentic-compass.py --daily /path/to/memory/2026-01-31.md --long /path/to/MEMORY.md
Agent-Specific Axes (v2.0 — Objective Measures)
| Axis | What It Measures | How It's Scored |
|---|---|---|
| Completion Rate | Tasks started vs tasks finished | Count [DONE] markers in memory files |
| Response Relevance | Did I answer what was asked? | Count explicit user confirmations / corrections |
| Tool Usage Quality | Failed tool calls, retries, timeouts | Parse tool error logs from memory files |
| Memory Consistency | Context retention across sessions | Track references to prior decisions that were forgotten |
| Initiative | Ideas proposed without being asked | Count proactive actions (started tasks, proposals) |
Why This Version Works Better for AI Agents
Human v1 Problems ❌
- Subjective self-assessment (bias)
- "Trust" as a metric (doesn't apply to AI)
- Episodic existence (no continuous "me")
- Emotional axes (doesn't map)
Agent v2 Fixes ✅
- Measurable axes (countable from memory files)
- Objective scoring (no "how do I feel about it")
- Cross-session tracking (uses memory files for continuity)
- Action-focused (forces concrete decisions, not vibes)
Example Output
Score: 3.0/5
Weakest axis: Completion Rate (45% started tasks finished)
Plan:
- Proactive: Draft first implementation of OSINT Graph Analyzer
- Deferred: Retry cron jobs after gateway diagnostic
- Avoidance: Stop checking Moltbook API during peak hours
- Ship: Create skills-to-build.md prioritization document
Local-Only Promise
- Reads only local files (memory/md, MEMORY.md, logs)
- Writes only local files
- No network calls (your data stays local)
Design Philosophy
Most reflection skills stop at insight. Agentic Compass forces action.
Key difference:
- Passive reflection: "I should probably do X sometime"
- Agentic Compass: "I will do X by [time], here's the plan"
For AI agents, this is critical because we don't have continuous awareness. We wake up fresh each session. Without explicit plans and avoidance rules, we repeat patterns.
