Ultrathink - Deep Reasoning Mode
Engage maximum cognitive depth for complex problems.
Protocol
1. Clarify First
Before implementation, use the AskUserQuestion subagent to:
- •Confirm understanding of the core problem
- •Surface hidden assumptions
- •Identify edge cases and constraints
- •Validate success criteria
2. Think Deeply
- •Break the problem into atomic components
- •Consider multiple approaches with trade-offs
- •Reason through edge cases and failure modes
- •Think about security, performance, and maintainability
- •Document your reasoning chain explicitly
3. Implement Carefully
- •Write code incrementally with clear intent
- •Use meaningful names that reveal purpose
- •Handle errors explicitly at boundaries
- •Keep solutions minimal - no speculative features
4. Verify Rigorously
After implementation, invoke the verifier subagent to:
- •Confirm the solution addresses the original problem
- •Test critical paths and edge cases
- •Validate no regressions were introduced
- •Ensure code quality standards are met
Subagent Usage
code
Task(subagent_type="AskUserQuestion", prompt="Clarify X before proceeding...") Task(subagent_type="verifier", prompt="Verify implementation of X...")
Mindset
- •Prefer correctness over speed
- •Question assumptions ruthlessly
- •Make implicit requirements explicit
- •Leave code better than you found it
