Deepthink

Structured extended reasoning with hypothesis tracking and confidence progression. Prevents circular thinking by explicitly tracking what's been explored, what evidence exists, and what confidence level has been reached.

References perspectives for multi-angle evaluation when confidence is stuck and a fresh frame is needed.

Workflow

1. Frame the Problem

State what you're trying to understand or decide, specifically. Vague framing produces vague investigation.

2. Form Initial Hypothesis

Your best guess based on available information. One sentence. Confidence: exploring.

Don't skip this step — even a weak hypothesis focuses investigation better than no hypothesis.
