Thinking-Claude

> [!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](https://claude.ai/) with `Claude 3.5 Sonnet` model.

Here is a demo of using the latest [Thinking Cluade Chrome extension](https://github.com/richards199999/Thinking-Claude/releases/download/chrome-extension-v3.2.3/thinking-claude-chrome-extension-v3.2.3.zip) (click to download v3.2.3 ) installed in Chrome with the chat of Claude (check [Browser Extension](https://github.com/richards199999/Thinking-Claude?tab=readme-ov-file#browser-extension) for more) featured with an instruction selector:

## 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:

- `extensions/`: Browser extension implementations

  - `chrome/`: Current version with modern architecture and features
  - `chrome_v0/`: Legacy version (deprecated)
  - `firefox/`: Firefox version (in development)

- `model_instructions/`: Thinking protocols for different versions
  - Contains versioned instruction sets
  - Each version brings improvements to Claude's thinking process

## Thinking Protocol

The thinking protocol instructs Claude to follow a natural, thorough thought pro
