System 2 Attention Skill: Deliberate Reasoning Validation

Status: ✅ Production Ready Trit: -1 (MINUS - validator/constraint) Color: #2626D8 (Blue) Principle: Filter noise via deliberate re-attention Frame: Two-stage attention with explicit reasoning

Overview

System 2 Attention (S2A) validates and filters transformer attention by regenerating context deliberately. Standard attention (System 1) is fast but susceptible to sycophancy and irrelevant context. S2A re-attends after explicit reasoning.

1. Context regeneration: LLM rewrites context removing irrelevant info
2. Two-pass attention: Fast then deliberate
3. Sycophancy reduction: Filter opinion-seeking noise
4. Factual grounding: Anchor to verified facts
