What is this?

Reflection prompts the model to critique its own draft against rubric criteria, then optionally revise — a self-review pass.

Why should you care?

PromptVerse content generator runs reflect pass for brand voice before human queue.

See it live — copy this example

Copy the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, or your LLM API playground and compare outputs.

DRAFT: (model wrote email)
Rubric: no unverified stats, CTA present, under 120 words, brand voice friendly-professional.
List FAIL/PASS per rubric line. If any FAIL, rewrite once.

What happened?

  • Second pass applies rubric mechanically.
  • FAIL items trigger one controlled rewrite — not infinite loops.

Practice next

  1. Write a rubric with 4 checkboxes.
  2. Generate draft then reflect prompt.
  3. Inspect FAIL reasons.
  4. Add "cite source for every stat".
  5. Reflect on JSON schema compliance.

Remember

Reflect catches obvious violations. Rubric must be checkable. Cap rewrites at one.

Marketing email QA

Draft claims "40% faster" without source.

Outcome: Reflect pass flags FAIL and strips stat.
