Repair Contract
Repair contract is a chat UX pattern that structures retries by showing what changed between attempts, what constraints remain fixed, and why the new run should be better. It turns blind regeneration into an auditable, user-directed repair flow. This helps users debug output quality faster and builds trust by making retry behavior legible rather than stochastic.
When to use
Important for high-stakes chat workflows where users iterate on drafts, analysis, or decisions and need predictable, explainable retries instead of random variation.
