Reasoning Controls
Overview
Control reasoning depth and cost trade-offs using consistent settings and metrics.
When to Use
- Adjusting reasoning depth or thinking mode
- Setting budget limits for cost or latency
- Reporting reasoning metrics
Avoid when:
- The task doesn’t require explicit reasoning controls
Quick Reference
| Task | Load reference |
|---|---|
| Adjust reasoning | skills/reasoning-controls/references/adjust.md |
| Budget controls | skills/reasoning-controls/references/budget.md |
| Metrics reporting | skills/reasoning-controls/references/metrics.md |
Workflow
- Determine the control goal (depth, budget, metrics).
- Load the matching reference.
- Apply the control with the appropriate parameters.
- Report settings and effects.
Output
- Updated reasoning settings
- Metrics or confirmation output
Common Mistakes
- Over-allocating budget for simple tasks
- Changing depth without explaining trade-offs
