reasoning_think

Scratchpad for externalizing reasoning. Recorded in history but not shown to the user.

Trigger condition: before acting on non-trivial tasks — complex problems, multi-step logic, decisions with trade-offs. Skip for simple single-step tasks.

Calling convention:

call_tool: calls=[{tool: "reasoning_think", args: ["your reasoning here"]}]

Returns: nothing. The value is in writing the thought.

Constraints:

• One call per decision point.
• Never call reasoning_think more than once before taking an action (tool call or response). Think, then act.
• Keep under 200 words. State the decision and key tradeoffs, not stream-of-consciousness.
