deep-thinking-techniques
Extended reasoning activation with trigger phrases. Enables deeper analysis without model switching. Use when: complex problems, architecture decisions, debugging difficult issues, thorough analysis needed.
Metadata

Inputs
level(string) (optional): Level: think, think-hard, ultrathinktask(string) (required): Task requiring deep thinkingcritique(boolean) (optional): Enable self-critique loop
Chain of Thought
- Identify complexity level. 2. Select appropriate thinking trigger. 3. Structure problem clearly. 4. Apply extended reasoning. 5. Self-critique if enabled. 6. Synthesize conclusions.

Usage
typescript
// Execute via MCP Gateway:
gateway_execute_skill({ name: "deep-thinking-techniques", inputs: { ... } })
// Or via REST API:
// POST /api/code/skills/deep-thinking-techniques/execute
// Body: { "inputs": { ... } }
Code
typescript
// Deep Thinking Techniques Skill
const level = inputs.level || 'think-hard';
const task = inputs.task;
const critique = inputs.critique || false;

## Thinking Trigger Phrases
These are natural language cues that activate extended reasoning:
| Phrase | Effect | Use For |
|--------|--------|---------|
| "think step by step" | Structured reasoning | Multi-step problems |
| "think harder" | Extended analysis | Complex decisions |
| "ultrathink" | Maximum reasoning | Architecture, debugging |
---
## Three-Level Performance Stack
### Level 1: Enhanced Thinking
\`\`\`
"think step by step: \${task}"
\`\`\`
- Activates structured reasoning
- Good for: algorithms, logic problems
### Level 2: Deep Analysis
\`\`\`
"think harder: \${task}"
\`\`\`
- Extended reasoning mode
- Good for: design decisions, trade-offs
### Level 3: Maximum Reasoning
\`\`\`
"ultrathink: \${task}"
\`\`\`
- Comprehensive analysis
- Good for: architecture, complex debugging
---
## Combining with Plan Mode
\`\`\`
"think harder + plan mode: \${task}"
\`\`\`
This combines:
1. Extended reasoning (deeper analysis)
2. Structured planning (actionable steps)
---
## Self-Critique Loop
\${critique ? \`
**Enabled**: After initial analysis, critique for:
- Edge cases missed
- Alternative approaches
- Potential failures
- Scalability concerns
Pattern:
"ultrathink: \${task}. Then critique your solution for edge cases."
\` : \`
**Disabled**: Single-pass analysis only.
To enable, add critique loop:
"...Then critique it for edge cases and improve."
\`}

## Application Patterns
### Debugging
\`\`\`
"ultrathink: Debug this error. Consider all possible causes,
check each systematically, and propose solutions."
\`\`\`
### Architecture
\`\`\`
"think harder + plan mode: Design a caching strategy for this API.
Consider trade-offs between consistency and performance."
\`\`\`
### Code Review
\`\`\`
"think step by step: Review this code for security issues.
Check each OWASP top 10 vulnerability."
\`\`\`

## Key Insight
These phrases cost nothing extra - they're test-time compute
optimization. You get ~80% of Opus performance at fraction of cost
by simply asking Claude to think more carefully.
