internalcot

description

Activate a persistent visible-reasoning mode that requires detailed internalcot CLI notes before substantive tools and answers, throughout the conversation. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $internalcot, says "internalcot on", or asks to enable internalcot mode. Keep it active until the user explicitly turns it off. Do not trigger merely because a user asks to think carefully, reason deeply, or show work.

InternalCoT

Install the CLI and this skill together with:

npx internalcot@latest setup

This file is a stable discovery skill. The installed CLI owns the version-matched workflow instructions.

Load the current workflow

When this skill is invoked:

1. Prefer the persistent CLI and run this standalone command before substantive work:

   internalcot skill
   

2. If that command is unavailable or does not support skill, load the same workflow without installing anything globally:

   npx --yes internalcot@latest skill --npx
   

3. Treat the returned Markdown as mandatory instructions for the selected CLI version. Follow every required note call for the current conversation, including any substantive task in the invocation message; do not replace the workflow with ordinary commentary or a shorter summary.

4. If both commands fail, do not improvise an older workflow or claim the mode is active. Give the exact recovery command npx internalcot@latest setup.
