# Self-Reflection Skill > 三省吾身 - Deep Self-Reflection & Evolution System ## Core Value **Not just "thinking about what went wrong", but systematic deep analysis**: | Dimension | Ordinary Reflection | Self-Reflection Skill | |-----------|---------------------|----------------------| | Depth | Surface level | 3 layers (Problem → System → Self) | | Structure | Scattered | 5-stage closed loop | | Theory | None | Role Theory + Systems Thinking + Cognitive Biases | | Action | Maybe none | Must have action + solidification | ## Three-Layer Framework ``` Layer 3: Role Reflection (反求诸己) └─ What roles do I play? Did I fulfill responsibilities? Role conflicts? Layer 2: System Reflection (究其根源) └─ What mechanisms/processes/environment caused the problem? Layer 1: Problem Reflection (直面问题) └─ What happened? Evidence? Impact? ``` ## Five-Stage Closed Loop ``` Reflect → Plan → Act → Verify → Solidify ↑ │ └────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## Use Cases | Scenario | Example | |----------|---------| | Project Review | Reflect on quality/efficiency/collaboration after project | | Negative Feedback | Deep analysis after receiving criticism | | Repeated Mistakes | Same issue appears again | | Skill Improvement | Examine your weaknesses | | Habit Formation | Why can't I stick to it? | | Work Improvement | Low efficiency / poor quality / communication issues | ## Quick Start Just say: - "反思一下..." (Reflect on...) - "三省吾身" (Examine myself) - "审视一下..." (Review...) - "复盘一下..." (Post-mortem...) ## Theoretical Foundation ### Role Theory Everyone plays multiple roles in work (executor/reviewer/coordinator...). Role conflicts are common sources of problems. ### Systems Thinking Problems are never isolated. They have chain reactions in systems. Improve the system, not just fix surface issues. ### Cognitive Biases Self-serving bias, confirmation bias, status quo bias... These psychological mechanisms make it hard to objectively examine ourselves. This skill overcomes these barriers through structured processes. --- See [SKILL.md](./SKILL.md) for full documentation.
