One strategy I often use (which is much simpler and more limited than this), is to finish my message with: “Please do a round of thinking in <thinking></thinking> tags, then a round of self-critique in <critique></critique> tags, and then a final round of <thinking>, before responding.”
It works very well. Similarly just asking it to “find the 5 biggest issues with its proposal” works pretty good (the 5 forcing it to find something, even if it’s mostly irrelevant).
