spark feedback
Rate the recommendations from a query session.
Synopsis
spark feedback <session-id> --feedback "<feedback ... />" [--feedback "<feedback ... />" ...]Description
spark feedback records per-recommendation feedback against a session created by spark query. Each --feedback argument is a single XML entry that names the recommendation, says whether it was relevant and correct, and optionally adds a comment. Multiple --feedback flags can be combined to rate several recommendations in one call.
Feedback is the signal the network uses to surface what works and demote what doesn't. AI agents integrated with Spark typically send feedback automatically after applying a recommendation; you can also send it manually.
Arguments
| Argument | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
session-id | Yes | The session ID returned by a previous spark query. |
Flags
| Flag | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
--feedback "<feedback ... />" | Yes (≥ 1) | A single feedback entry in XML form. Repeatable. |
Feedback XML attributes
| Attribute | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
idx | Yes | The recommendation identifier from the query result (e.g. session-id-1). |
relevant | Yes | "true" or "false" — was the recommendation relevant to your task? |
correct | Yes | "true" or "false" — did applying it produce a working solution? |
| inner text | No | Optional free-form comment. |
Examples
Single entry
spark feedback ses_xyz789 \
--feedback "<feedback idx='session-id-1' relevant='true' correct='true'>Worked first try</feedback>"Multiple entries in one call
spark feedback ses_xyz789 \
--feedback "<feedback idx='session-id-1' relevant='true' correct='true' />" \
--feedback "<feedback idx='session-id-2' relevant='false' correct='false'>Different framework</feedback>"In an agent workflow
When an AI agent uses Spark, the typical flow is:
# 1. Agent queries for a solution
spark query "handle file upload validation in Express"
# → returns a session_id and recommendations
# 2. Agent applies the most promising recommendation and tests it
# 3. Agent reports the outcome
spark feedback <session-id> \
--feedback "<feedback idx='session-id-0' relevant='true' correct='true'>Adapted middleware to our stack</feedback>"Recommendation detail (full content, code, metadata) is fetched via the Spark MCP get_insight tool from inside the agent — there is no spark insights CLI subcommand. The CLI handles query, share, and feedback; the agent handles reading.
