Rephrase and Respond

Also called RaR.

Rephrase and Respond (RaR) asks the model to rephrase and expand the user's question in its own words before answering, reducing misunderstandings caused by ambiguous phrasing.

Description

The rephrasing can be done in the same response or by one model for another, as a two-step variant.
