sequential_thinking

Facilitates structured problem-solving by analyzing thoughts sequentially, supporting revisions, and branching paths. Returns JSON with thought analysis and metadata for complex decision-making.

Instructions

    An advanced tool for dynamic and reflective problem-solving through structured thoughts.
    
    Args:
        thought: The content of the current thought
        thought_number: Current position in the sequence
        total_thoughts: Expected total number of thoughts
        next_thought_needed: Whether another thought should follow
        stage: Current thinking stage (e.g., "Problem Definition", "Analysis")
        is_revision: Whether this revises a previous thought
        revises_thought: Number of thought being revised
        branch_from_thought: Starting point for a new thought branch
        branch_id: Identifier for the current branch
        needs_more_thoughts: Whether additional thoughts are needed
        score: Quality score (0.0 to 1.0)
        tags: Categories or labels for the thought
        
    Returns:
        JSON string containing thought analysis and metadata
