Reflection & Self-Correction

🔄 The Agentic Control Loop⏱ 10 min⭐ 70 BASE XP

The Inner Critic

Agents that act without checking their work make catastrophic mistakes. Adding a Reflection step improves reliability by 30-40%.

A Self-Correcting Loop looks like this:

  1. Agent writes code.
  2. System runs code (it fails with an error).
  3. Agent reads the error and reflects: "Why did it fail? Ah, I used the wrong import."
  4. Agent writes corrected code.
🎯 Pro Tip: You can use a separate LLM (an "Evaluator" or "Judge" agent) to critique the main agent's work. Peer review works for AI too!
