Counterexamples as Feedback for Agent Self-Correction
Finds that feeding an agent concrete counterexamples, specific inputs where its output fails, drives far more effective multi-turn self-correction than generic or error-only feedback, solving 90% of regex-synthesis tasks within four turns versus 17-27% for other feedback types.
Why it mattersHow you phrase repair feedback to a coding agent matters enormously: concrete counterexamples that show exactly where an artifact fails beat generic 'try again' or error-only feedback by a wide margin in multi-turn self-correction.
