The Role of Feedback Loops in Agent Design #

Feedback loops are essential for agent improvement. They close the gap between agent actions and desired outcomes.

Loop Types #

  • Human feedback: User ratings and corrections
  • Environment feedback: Task success or failure signals
  • Peer feedback: Other agents evaluating performance
  • Self-evaluation: Agents assessing their own outputs

Implementation #

bash
# Submit user feedback
agent feedback submit --action-id 123 --rating 5

# Request clarification
agent feedback request --action-plan --from-user

Best Practices #

  • Provide immediate, actionable feedback
  • Balance positive and corrective signals
  • Normalize feedback to prevent gaming
  • Protect user privacy in feedback collection
