Ultrathink

Sequential thinking CLI for multi-step problem solving. Use when breaking down complex problems into steps, planning implementations, debugging multi-layered issues, or when explicit step-by-step reasoning with confidence tracking and assumption management is beneficial. Use when this capability is needed.

UltraThink - Sequential Thinking CLI

A tool for dynamic and reflective problem-solving through structured, sequential thoughts.

When to Use

Use this skill for:

Breaking down complex problems (>3 reasoning steps)
Planning and design with room for revision
Architecture decisions with multiple trade-offs
Algorithm design and optimization
Debugging multi-layered issues
Analysis that might need course correction

Do NOT use for:

Simple one-step answers
Straightforward code edits
Basic file operations
Simple factual questions

Instructions

Start a session with initial thought and estimated total
Continue session using session_id from response
Use --confidence to track uncertainty (0.0-1.0)
Revise thoughts with --is-revision --revises <num>
Branch to explore alternatives with --branch-from <num> --branch-id <name>
Track assumptions with --assumptions, --depends-on, --invalidates
Monitor risky_assumptions in response
Continue until next_thought_needed is false

Quick Start

# Start new session
uv run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ultrathink/scripts/ultrathink.py -t "Analyzing the problem..." -n 5

# Continue session
uv run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ultrathink/scripts/ultrathink.py -t "Next step..." -n 5 -s <session-id>

# With confidence
uv run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ultrathink/scripts/ultrathink.py -t "I believe X is correct" -n 3 -c 0.8

# With assumption
uv run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ultrathink/scripts/ultrathink.py -t "Assuming Redis available" -n 3 \
  --assumptions '[{"id":"A1","text":"Redis is available"}]'

Example Session

Thought 1 (confidence: 0.6): "Analyzing access patterns for caching strategy..."
Thought 2 (confidence: 0.7): "Two approaches: LRU or LFU..."
Thought 3 (revision of 2): "Should also consider TTL-based expiration..."
Thought 4 (branch from 2): "Exploring hybrid LRU+TTL approach..."
Thought 5 (confidence: 0.95): "Hybrid approach recommended."
