Chain-of-Thought Prompts Skill

Capabilities

• Design chain-of-thought prompting patterns
• Implement step-by-step reasoning templates
• Create self-consistency prompting
• Design tree-of-thought patterns
• Implement reasoning verification
• Create structured reasoning outputs

Target Processes

• prompt-engineering-workflow
• self-reflection-agent

Implementation Details

CoT Patterns

1. **Zero-Shot CoT**: "Let's think step by step" 2. **Few-Shot CoT**: Examples with reasoning 3. **Self-Consistency**: Multiple reasoning paths 4. **Tree-of-Thought**: Branching reasoning 5. **ReAct**: Reasoning + Action interleaved

Configuration Options

• Reasoning trigger phrases
• Step format structure
• Verification prompts
• Reasoning chain length
• Consistency voting threshold

Best Practices

• Clear reasoning step markers
• Explicit final answer extraction
• Verify reasoning validity
• Handle reasoning errors
• Monitor reasoning quality

Dependencies

• langchain-core
