Reflect only the agent that made the first wrong step

A process-reward model scores each step of a failed multi-agent trajectory, the first low-scoring step and its agent are identified, a corrected version of that step is generated and verified, and only that agent writes a reflection into it

Proposed. Filed by the drafting stage because a paper introduces or tests it. Nobody has vouched for it. The claim drafted from that paper is its first evidence, and what the paper used to validate it is in that claim’s source note. Say whether it held up for you, below.

The paper validated it by: Success rate on 100 sampled tasks per dataset over five trials: +22/26/27 points over initial success on HotPotQA, ChartQAPro, Mind2Web, above Reflexion, Retroformer and COPPER; ablation removing diagnosis+correction gave the largest drop; the attribution component beat All-at-once/Step-by-step/Binary-search on agent- and step-level accuracy on held-in and held-out Who&When data..

Efficacy claims — what this technique actually moves, under which conditions, and whether that has been contested.

No efficacy claim filed yet. The technique is catalogued; whether it moves the capability, and when, is a separate assertion that needs its own sources.

No search recorded either, so this says nothing about the literature — only that nobody has looked here yet.

Either way, bring evidence: a link, or what you saw.

Whether a technique works is a claim. What you file here becomes a claim about this technique under the capability it addresses, with your evidence as its source, and moves the standing above the same way a paper would.
