๐Ÿงฉ Sequential Thinking

Structured reasoning through sequential thinking. Break complex problems into logical steps, solve each independently, verify consistency, and synthesize a final answer with a confidence score.

Why Sequential Thinking?

LLMs often rush to conclusions. This skill forces step-by-step decomposition:

  1. Decompose โ€” Break the problem into discrete steps
  2. Solve โ€” Address each step independently
  3. Verify โ€” Check consistency between steps
  4. Synthesize โ€” Combine into a final answer with confidence

Usage

bash
# Basic sequential reasoning
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/sequential_think.py "What would happen to Earth's climate if the Moon disappeared?"

# Limit to 5 steps
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/sequential_think.py "Design a sustainable city for 1M people" --steps 5

# Enable self-verification
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/sequential_think.py "Is P=NP?" --verify

# Use a specific model
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/sequential_think.py "Explain quantum computing" --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4

# JSON output
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/sequential_think.py "Compare React vs Vue" --json

# Verbose mode (show all intermediate reasoning)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/sequential_think.py "Solve this logic puzzle..." --verbose

How It Works

  1. Decomposition prompt asks the model to identify the key sub-questions
  2. Step-solving prompts address each sub-question with context from prior steps
  3. Verification prompt (optional) checks for contradictions between steps
  4. Synthesis prompt combines all step conclusions into a coherent answer
  5. Confidence scoring based on step agreement, verification results, and hedging language
