Reasoning Controls

Overview

Control reasoning depth and cost trade-offs using consistent settings and metrics.

When to Use

Adjusting reasoning depth or thinking mode
Setting budget limits for cost or latency
Reporting reasoning metrics

Avoid when:

The task doesn’t require explicit reasoning controls

Quick Reference

Task	Load reference
Adjust reasoning	`skills/reasoning-controls/references/adjust.md`
Budget controls	`skills/reasoning-controls/references/budget.md`
Metrics reporting	`skills/reasoning-controls/references/metrics.md`

Workflow

Determine the control goal (depth, budget, metrics).
Load the matching reference.
Apply the control with the appropriate parameters.
Report settings and effects.

Output

Updated reasoning settings
Metrics or confirmation output

Common Mistakes

Over-allocating budget for simple tasks
Changing depth without explaining trade-offs
