Test it

Using "ultrathink-trigger". A payment flow change touches frontend, backend, and authorization checks.

Expected outcome:

Complexity score: 7. Trigger deeper reasoning because the change spans systems and includes security implications.

Using "ultrathink-trigger". A one-line typo fix in a familiar file.

Expected outcome:

Complexity score: 0. Use normal reasoning because the task is simple and low risk.

Using "ultrathink-trigger". Two attempted fixes did not resolve a cache invalidation bug.

Expected outcome:

Trigger deeper debugging analysis. Recheck assumptions about cache keys, write timing, and stale reads before changing more code.

What You Can Build

Architecture Decisions

Evaluate trade-offs before changing module boundaries, APIs, or deployment patterns.

Difficult Debugging

Recheck assumptions after repeated fixes fail to solve a problem.

Risky Code Changes

Apply deeper analysis to security, permissions, secrets, or performance-sensitive paths.

Try These Prompts

Check Complexity 
Use ultrathink-trigger to score this task's complexity. Explain whether deeper reasoning is needed: [task description].
Deepen Debugging 
I have tried two fixes without success. Ultrathink: identify possible root causes, unchecked assumptions, and the next focused checks for [issue].
Compare Architecture Options 
Ultrathink: compare these architecture options for maintainability, performance, security, and migration risk: [options and constraints].
Plan Cross-Domain Change 
Ultrathink: create a decision-ready analysis for this multi-system change. Include risks, trade-offs, validation steps, and rollback considerations: [change].

Best Practices

  • Calculate complexity before starting broad or risky work.
  • Use deeper reasoning when security, performance, or breaking changes are involved.
  • Reassess complexity when the task scope changes.

Avoid

  • Using deep reasoning for simple and familiar tasks.
  • Skipping deeper analysis after repeated failed fixes.
  • Treating the complexity score as a substitute for validation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this skill do?
It helps an assistant decide when to use deeper reasoning for complex coding and architecture work.
Does this skill run commands?
No. The skill is guidance in SKILL.md and does not include scripts or executable files.
Which tools support it?
It is listed for Claude, Codex, and Claude Code.
When should I use the deep flag?
Use it when a workflow supports the flag and you want deeper analysis regardless of the score.
Can it replace tests or review?
No. It supports analysis, but tests and human review are still required for important changes.
Why not use it for every request?
Deep analysis can take more time and produce longer responses. Use it when complexity or risk warrants it.
