Overview

The selfReflection.js module implements self-reflection capabilities, allowing the agent to analyze its own behavior and generate insights. With 39.89% coverage, much of the reflection engine is untested.

Uncovered Areas

Major untested sections:

• Reflection generation
• Signal analysis
• Feedback integration
• Longitudinal analysis
• Reflection storage
• Historical reflection retrieval
• Reflection scoring
• Prompt construction

Key Functionality to Test

1. Reflection Generation

• Generating reflections from conversations
• Incorporating feedback
• Analyzing social signals
• Applying character perspective
• Reflection quality assessment

2. Signal Analysis

• Processing engagement signals
• Analyzing sentiment patterns
• Identifying trends
• Extracting insights
• Signal aggregation

3. Longitudinal Analysis

• Tracking reflection history
• Identifying patterns over time
• Comparing reflections
• Measuring growth
• Detecting changes

4. Storage & Retrieval

• Storing reflections
• Retrieving by time range
• Filtering by criteria
• Cleaning old reflections
• Reflection indexing
