Tree of Thoughts

Start Session

Before beginning, register this think session:

# Check for active session
if [[ -f /tmp/.claude-think-session ]]; then cat /tmp/.claude-think-session; fi

If another session is active, ask the user to finish or abandon it first. Otherwise:

echo "tree-of-thoughts" > /tmp/.claude-think-session

Work Through Stages

Read the strategy definition and follow its stages in order:

cat ~/.claude/hooks/ways/meta/think/strategies/tree-of-thoughts.md

Work through each numbered stage sequentially. Do not skip stages. Present your work for each stage before moving to the next.

Complete Session

After the final stage (Solution Synthesis), clean up so the think way can fire again:

rm -f /tmp/.claude-think-session /tmp/.claude-way-meta-think-*"${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID:+-$CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}" 2>/dev/null
