# Think-Tool Improvement Ideas
## High-Impact Improvements
### 1. Add Persistence
- Currently thoughts only log to console
- Add SQLite storage to retrieve previous thoughts within a session
- Export thinking histories as markdown reports
- Maintain context across complex reasoning chains
### 2. Structured Thinking Templates
Add optional templates for common reasoning patterns:
```typescript
server.addTool({
name: "think",
parameters: z.object({
thought: z.string(),
template: z.enum(["debug", "design", "review", "swot", "mece"]).optional(),
tags: z.array(z.string()).optional()
}),
//...
});
```
### 3. Add Tests
- Project lacks any test coverage
- Add basic tests for tool execution
- Test prompt loading
- Validate parameter schemas
### 4. Better Error Handling
- Current implementation has minimal error handling
- Add try-catch blocks
- Meaningful error messages
- Graceful fallbacks
### 5. Export Thinking Sessions
Add a companion tool to export all thoughts from a session:
```typescript
server.addTool({
name: "export_thoughts",
description: "Export thinking session as markdown",
parameters: z.object({
format: z.enum(["markdown", "json", "txt"]).optional(),
filter: z.object({
tags: z.array(z.string()).optional(),
template: z.string().optional()
}).optional()
}),
//...
});
```
### 6. CLI for Testing
Add a simple CLI mode for testing without needing an MCP client:
```bash
deno run -A server.ts --cli "Test thought"
```
### 7. GitHub Actions CI
- Automated testing on PRs
- JSR publishing on releases
- Version bumping automation
## Additional Features
### Enhanced Integration
- Tag/categorize thoughts for later reference
- Link thoughts to specific code files/lines
- Generate summaries of thinking sessions
- Support multi-step reasoning chains
- WebSocket support for real-time updates
### Development Experience
- Include TypeScript types export
- Docker container for easier deployment
- Publish to npm in addition to JSR
- Better debugging output
### Documentation
- Add visual examples/diagrams
- Create video tutorial
- More real-world use cases
- Expand troubleshooting guide
## Priority
The most valuable improvement would be **persistence** - it would transform the tool from a simple logger into a genuine thinking companion that maintains context across complex reasoning chains.
