Second Pass is a structured self-reflection tool.

It works on pasted conversation transcripts.

The tradeoff is deliberate. You get one constrained response, not an ongoing exchange.

How it behaves

  • It forces limited ways of looking.
  • It produces a single response.
  • It does not escalate or retain memory.

A single response can still feel authoritative. This system does not prevent that.

Boundaries

  • Second Pass does not tell you what to do.
  • Does not assert hidden motives, diagnoses, or intent as truth. It names observable patterns without claiming what they mean.
  • It does not optimize for engagement.

The value here is enforced bounds and a forced end, not insight quality.

This is not a general interface. The value is in enforced extraction, enforced limits, and a forced stop — not in conversational depth.
