Instinctive reaction =ish Automated attack? Potential new ability(?)

TL;DR: I was making a profile and I came across this ability

Basically I just wanted to know if characters who have abilities that automatically activate without them needing to think would have instictive reaction or something similar. Usually these abilities activate if X or Y condition is met such as danger, or intent or something similar, I know it is kind of similar to precognition but unlike precognition the user does not need to really process any of the information or think to counter attack as the ability does it on its own.

Ex: Giorno Giovanna (At one point at least, I do not know what the current GER veredict is with passive, auto and infinite, but he was at least considered to have auto activated reset to zero at some point) and Yogiri Takatou.

If it is not instictive reaction or subcatrgory of it wouldn't it be worth having a page for it?

I do know even know if this is the correct board.
 
It still feels like Instinctive Reaction, to me at least. But I can agree that characters like the above could get it if it acts as you described.
 
I agree. Instinctive reaction implies that the user doesn't need any time to process an attack themselves, automatic attack just means something else is doing the processing
 
We have characters that use Instinctive Reaction against stuff they don't even have any awareness of yet they still react. I don't see an use for such a power, IR should work.
