Simple Code to Understand Self-Reflection (Agentic Design Pattern)

Reflection/self-reflection is a bit underrated. If your application relies on prompting, I strongly recommend exploring this concept. It is not hard to implement and reflective techniques can help in iteratively refining llm responses.

from mirascope.core import BaseMessageParam, ResponseModelConfigDict, openai

    story: str

    model_config = ResponseModelConfigDict(strict=True)
