Thinking-Claude README

The project's README from github.com/richards199999/Thinking-Claude. As one markdown file: README.md.

[!CAUTION] This repository has been retired. Claude is already a reasoning model with strong built-in thinking capabilities, making this project no longer necessary. Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported Thinking Claude!

Thinking Claude

Let Claude think comprehensively before responding!

A super quick reminder: Thinking claude is not aimed for benchmarks or huge leaps in math or something, since those are pre-determined by the base model (new Claude-3.5 Sonnet). I only want to explore how further we could reach with Claude's "deep mindset". That said, when using it in your daily tasks, you will find Claude's inner monolog (thinking process) very very fun and interesting.

Demo

It is supposed to work on both Free and Pro versions of Claude Web App with Claude 3.5 Sonnet model.

Here is a demo of using the latest Thinking Cluade Chrome extension (click to download v3.2.3 ) installed in Chrome with the chat of Claude (check Browser Extension for more) featured with an instruction selector:

use in project with legacy extension:

Overview

This project consists of two main components:

  1. Thinking Protocol: A comprehensive set of instructions that guides Claude to think deeply and systematically before responding
  2. Browser Extension: A tool that makes Claude's thinking process more readable and manageable in the browser interface

The project is organized into two main components:

Thinking Protocol

The thinking protocol instructs Claude to follow a natural, thorough thought process before providing responses.

Browser Extension

The browser extension makes Claude's thinking process easier to read and use! It automatically organizes Claude's thoughts into neat, collapsible sections.

Thinking-Claude
这是什么？Thinking Claude 是一个包含两部分的项目：一是“Thinking Protocol”，即一套自定义指令，让 Claude 在回答前进行更深入、更有条理的思考；二是一款浏览器扩展，可将这一思考过程以整洁、可折叠的分段形式展示在 Claude.ai 的聊天界面中。
这是提示词模板还是浏览器扩展？两者都是：你可以把思考协议文本粘贴到 Claude.ai 上作为自定义指令集，也可以选择安装 Chrome 扩展（Firefox 版本曾在开发中），让扩展自动把生成的思考内容整理成可折叠、可复制的分段。
我该如何设置？可以从 Chrome 网上应用店安装扩展，或下载发布包并解压，然后在 chrome://extensions 中开启开发者模式，点击“加载已解压的扩展程序”；接着在 Claude.ai 上创建自定义风格，选择“使用自定义指令（高级）”，再粘贴 modelinstructions/ 文件夹中的一套指令。
使用它需要付费订阅 Claude 吗？不需要。它可以在 Claude 网页版的免费版和 Pro 版上使用，搭配 Claude 3.5 Sonnet 模型。
这个项目还在维护吗？已经不再维护。仓库已正式停用：维护者表示 Claude 现在自带强大的推理能力，因此本项目已没有必要存在；Firefox 扩展也始终停留在“开发中”阶段，没有取得进展。
作者为什么不等待官方的推理功能，而要自己开发这个？作者想探索 Claude 的“深度思维模式”在日常任务中能被推进到什么程度，并觉得它内心独白式的思考过程非常有趣、值得探索，而不是为了追求基准测试或数学成绩的提升。
这个扩展究竟改变了聊天界面的什么？它会自动把 Claude 的思考过程整理成整洁的可折叠分段，可以一键折叠、展开和复制，并且在有新消息时自动更新。
思考指令有多个版本吗？有的。modelinstructions/ 文件夹中包含多个带版本号的思考协议，每个新版本都会改进 Claude 组织思考过程的方式。
