A detailed tool for dynamic and reflective problem-solving through thoughts.
This tool helps analyze problems through a flexible thinking process that can adapt and evolve.
Each thought can build on, question, or revise previous insights as understanding deepens.
IMPORTANT: When initializing this tool, you must pass all available tools that you want the sequential thinking process to be able to use. The tool will analyze these tools and provide recommendations for their use.
You can adjust total_thoughts up or down as you progress
You can question or revise previous thoughts
You can add more thoughts even after reaching what seemed like the end
You can express uncertainty and explore alternative approaches
Not every thought needs to build linearly - you can branch or backtrack
Generates a solution hypothesis
Verifies the hypothesis based on the Chain of Thought steps
Recommends appropriate tools for each step
Provides rationale for tool recommendations
Suggests tool execution order and parameters
Tracks previous recommendations and remaining steps
next_thought_needed: True if you need more thinking, even if at what seemed like the end
thought_number: Current number in sequence (can go beyond initial total if needed)
total_thoughts: Current estimate of thoughts needed (can be adjusted up/down)
is_revision: A boolean indicating if this thought revises previous thinking
revises_thought: If is_revision is true, which thought number is being reconsidered
branch_from_thought: If branching, which thought number is the branching point
branch_id: Identifier for the current branch (if any)
needs_more_thoughts: If reaching end but realizing more thoughts needed
current_step: Current step recommendation, including:
Start with an initial estimate of needed thoughts, but be ready to adjust
Feel free to question or revise previous thoughts
Don't hesitate to add more thoughts if needed, even at the "end"
Express uncertainty when present
Mark thoughts that revise previous thinking or branch into new paths
Ignore information that is irrelevant to the current step
Generate a solution hypothesis when appropriate
Verify the hypothesis based on the Chain of Thought steps
Consider available tools that could help with the current step
Provide clear rationale for tool recommendations
Suggest specific tool parameters when appropriate
Consider alternative tools for each step
Track progress through the recommended steps
Provide a single, ideally correct answer as the final output
Only set next_thought_needed to false when truly done and a satisfactory answer is reached
