| I'm a software engineer building an app as a side project. I quickly realized AI bullshits a lot. But you know, engineers bullshit each other all the time too. The difference is we have a way to verify it - logical chains. You have to build an argument that holds up before anayone buys in it. So I though, can I make AI build its own logical chain ? Let it pass its own logic check before telling me the result. That's how I created my own "think" skill. It's based on Meta's CoT paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.04682 It roughly works like this:
1. FRAME - Challenge the question itself, hidden assumptions. 2. GROUND - Map what you know, what you need, what's missing. 3. ASSOCIATE - Launch multiple independent agents in parallel to generate hypotheses, avoid anchoring bias. 4. VERIFY - Break each hypothesis into atomic claims, verify each independently 5. CHAIN - Build a logical chain from survivors 6. PROVE and LOOP - Walk backwards from conclusion to premises, seearch for evidence, repair if broken 7. DELIVER - Start with "I was wrong if ...." It helps me a lot. Whenever I need to check if Claude Opus 4.6 is bullshitting me. I just say "/think verify the above reasoning is correct" or "/think verify the above fix is correct and complete." |
