Runs a generator-critique-reviser loop to iteratively improve agent outputs. Use for: self refine, reflexion loop, critique and revise, improve output.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Self Refine Loop ## When to Use - User says **self refine** or task matches this capability - User says **reflexion loop** or task matches this capability - User says **critique and revise** or task matches this capability - User says **improve output** or task matches this capability ## Workflow 1. Capture the current output and the user's quality criteria. 2. Generate a critique listing specific weaknesses (max 5 bullets). 3. Revise the output addressing every critique point. 4. Score confidence 0-10 on whether criteria are met. 5. Repeat until confidence >= 8 or 5 iterations; return best version with changelog. ## Integrations - `goal-verifier` - `agentic-uncertainty-quantifier` - `dspy-prompt-optimizer` ## Error Handling | Failure | Response | |---------|----------| | No criteria given | Ask user for 1-3 success criteria before looping. | | Confidence stuck below 5 | Stop early; report blocker and ask for guidance. | | Output grows unbounded | Cap revisions to prior length + 20%. | ## Gotchas - Do not loop on trivial typos; one-pass fix is enough. ## Example **Input:** User request matching triggers above. …

How to install
mdr add stijnman/grok-custom-skills/self-refine-loop@sha256:2635d785c161e29aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
