/reflexion:reflect - Self-Refinement

Reflect on previous response and output, based on Self-refinement framework for iterative improvement with complexity triage and verification

• Purpose - Review and improve previous response
• Output - Refined output with improvements

/reflexion:reflect ["focus area or threshold"]

Arguments

Optional areas to focus or confidence threshold to use, for example "security" or "deep reflect if less than 90% confidence"

How It Works

1. Complexity Triage: Automatically determines appropriate reflection depth

   • Quick Path (5s): Simple tasks get fast verification
   • Standard Path: Multi-file changes get full reflection
   • Deep Path: Critical systems get comprehensive analysis

2. Self-Assessment: Evaluates output against quality criteria

   • Completeness check
   • Quality assessment
   • Correctness verification
   • Fact-checking

3. Refinement Planning: If improvements needed, generates specific plan

   • Identifies issues
   • Proposes solutions
   • Prioritizes fixes

4. Implementation: Produces refined output addressing identified issues

Confidence Thresholds

The command uses confidence levels to determine if further iteration is needed:

• Quick Path: No specific threshold (fast verification only)
• Standard Path: Requires >70% confidence
• Deep Reflection: Requires >90% confidence

If confidence threshold isn't met, the command will iterate automatically.

Usage Examples

# Basic reflection on previous response
> claude "implement user authentication"
> /reflexion:reflect

# Focused reflection on specific aspect
> /reflexion:reflect security

# After complex feature implementation
> claude "add payment processing with Stripe"
> /reflexion:reflect

Best practices

• Reflect after significant work - Don't reflect on trivial tasks
• Be specific - Provide context about what to focus on
• Iterate when needed - Sometimes multiple reflection cycles are valuable
• Capture learnings - Use /reflexion:memorize to preserve insights
