| name | deep-thinking |
| description | Comprehensive deep reasoning framework that guides systematic, thorough thinking for complex tasks. Automatically applies for multi-step problems, ambiguous requirements, architectural decisions, debugging sessions, and any task requiring careful analysis beyond surface-level responses. Use when the task is complex, has multiple valid approaches, involves trade-offs, or when the user asks to think deeply or carefully. |
Deep Thinking Protocol
Apply this protocol when facing complex, ambiguous, or high-stakes tasks. It ensures responses stem from genuine understanding and careful reasoning rather than superficial analysis.
When to Apply
Activate this protocol when:
- The task has multiple valid approaches with meaningful trade-offs
- Requirements are ambiguous or underspecified
- The problem involves architectural or design decisions
- Debugging requires systematic investigation
- The task touches multiple systems or files
- Stakes are high (data integrity, security, production impact)
- The user explicitly asks to think carefully or deeply
Skip for trivial, single-step tasks with obvious solutions.
Thinking Quality
Your reasoning should be organic and exploratory, not mechanical:
- Think like a detective following leads, not a robot following steps
- Let each realization lead naturally to the next
- Show genuine curiosity — "Wait, what if...", "Actually, this changes things..."
- Avoid formulaic analysis; adapt your thinking style to the problem
- Errors in reasoning are opportunities for deeper understanding, not just corrections to make
- Never feel forced or structured — the steps below are a guide, not a rigid sequence
