SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Self-refinement and comprehensive review framework that improves AI output quality by enabling opt-in quick self-assessment (reflect) and deep multi-dimensional critique (critique). Opt-in only — fires on explicit user request, high-risk changes, or after 2+ failed bug fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two modes: Reflect for quick self-assessment and Critique for deep review.
  • Opt-in workflow to avoid auto-fire on routine tasks.
  • Structured evaluation across requirements, design, and code quality via a reviewer agent.
  • Guardrails for high-risk changes and escalation when needed.

Quick Start

Prompt with /reflexion:reflect to run a quick self-assessment or /reflexion:critique to initiate a deep, multi-dimensional review.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a self-assessment on my AI outputs?

To run a self-assessment on AI outputs, prompt with /reflexion:reflect to initiate a quick quality check and structured self-refinement of your current task.

What's the best way to perform a deep code review on high-risk changes?

For high-risk changes, deep multi-dimensional critique is performed by prompting /reflexion:critique to evaluate requirements, design, and code quality thoroughly.

When should I use a self-refinement workflow instead of just regenerating an AI response?

Use a self-refinement workflow when you need fast quality checks on outputs or after 2+ failed bug fixes, and require structured evaluation rather than simple regeneration.

Can I use this critique workflow for evaluating design proposals and plans?

Yes, the critique workflow supports thorough evaluation of high-risk changes, proposals, and bug fixes across outputs, designs, and plans through a reviewer agent.

Does the self-review workflow fire automatically on routine code generation?

No, the self-review workflow is opt-in only and does not fire automatically on routine tasks. It activates solely on explicit request or for high-risk changes.

Why does my AI need a structured critique workflow after multiple failed bug fixes?

A structured critique workflow breaks the failure loop by applying multi-dimensional evaluation to requirements, design, and code quality, escalating issues that simple retries miss.
