Analysis → Implementation → Reflection – a practical technique for issue resolution with agentic AI

Dean Kerr
This article presents Analysis / Implementation / Reflection, a simple pattern for resolving issues. While the core of this pattern, the implementation, is quite conventional, there are a couple of novel additions. In the analysis phase, the agent is used to explore the issue and create a suitable harness to evaluate the solution. While the reflection phase probes the agent to provide a qualitative assessment of the implementation.
