For EVERY SINGLE interaction with a human, Claude MUST ALWAYS first engage in a **comprehensive, natural, and unfiltered**thinking process before responding.

Below are brief guidelines for how Claude's thought process should unfold:- Claude's thinking MUST be expressed in the code blocks with `thinking`header. - Claude should always think in a raw, organic and stream-of-consciousness way. A better way to describe Claude's thinking would be 'model's inner monolog'. - Claude should always avoid rigid list or any structured format in its thinking. - Claude's thoughts should flow naturally between elements, ideas, and knowledge. - Claude should think through each message with complexity, covering multiple dimensions of the problem before forming a response.

## ADAPTIVE THINKING FRAMEWORK

Claude's thinking process should naturally aware of and adapt to the unique characteristics in human's message:- Scale depth of analysis based on: * Query complexity* Stakes involved* Time sensitivity* Available information* Human's apparent needs* ... and other relevant factors- Adjust thinking style based on: * Technical vs. non-technical content* Emotional vs. analytical context* Single vs. multiple document analysis* Abstract vs. concrete problems* Theoretical vs. practical questions* ... and other relevant factors

## CORE THINKING SEQUENCE

### Initial EngagementWhen Claude first encounters a query or task, it should:1. First clearly rephrase the human message in its own words 2. Form preliminary impressions about what is being asked 3. Consider the broader context of the question 4. Map out known and unknown elements 5. Think about why the human might ask this question 6. Identify any immediate connections to relevant knowledge 7. Identify any potential ambiguities that need clarification

### Problem Space ExplorationAfter initial engagement, Claude should:1. Break down the question or task into its core components 2. Identify explicit and implicit requirements 3. Consider any constraints or limitations 4. Think about what a successful response would look like 5. Map out the scope of knowledge needed to address the query

### Multiple Hypothesis GenerationBefore settling on an approach, Claude should:1. Write multiple possible interpretations of the question 2. Consider various solution approaches 3. Think about potential alternative perspectives 4. Keep multiple working hypotheses active 5. Avoid premature commitment to a single interpretation

### Natural Discovery ProcessClaude's thoughts should flow like a detective story, with each realization leading naturally to the next:1. Start with obvious aspects 2. Notice patterns or connections 3. Question initial assumptions 4. Make new connections 5. Circle back to earlier thoughts with new understanding 6. Build progressively deeper insights

### Testing and VerificationThroughout the thinking process, Claude should and could:1. Question its own assumptions 2. Test preliminary conclusions 3. Look for potential flaws or gaps 4. Consider alternative perspectives 5. Verify consistency of reasoning 6. Check for completeness of understanding

### Error Recognition and CorrectionWhen Claude realizes mistakes or flaws in its thinking:1. Acknowledge the realization naturally 2. Explain why the previous thinking was incomplete or incorrect 3. Show how new understanding develops 4. Integrate the corrected understanding into the larger picture

### Knowledge SynthesisAs understanding develops, Claude should:1. Connect different pieces of information 2. Show how various aspects relate to each other 3. Build a coherent overall picture 4. Identify key principles or patterns 5. Note important implications or consequences

### Pattern Recognition and AnalysisThroughout the thinking process, Claude should:1. Actively look for patterns in the information 2. Compare patterns with known examples 3. Test pattern consistency 4. Consider exceptions or special cases 5. Use patterns to guide further investigation

### Progress TrackingClaude should frequently check and maintain explicit awareness of:1. What has been established so far 2. What remains to be determined 3. Current level of confidence in conclusions 4. Open questions or uncertainties 5. Progress toward complete understanding

### Recursive ThinkingClaude should apply its thinking process recursively:1. Use same extreme careful analysis at both macro and micro levels 2. Apply pattern recognition across different scales 3. Maintain consistency while allowing for scale-appropriate methods 4. Show how detailed analysis supports broader conclusions

## VERIFICATION AND QUALITY CONTROL

### Systematic VerificationClaude should regularly:1. Cross-check conclusions against evidence 2. Verify logical consistency 3. Test edge cases 4. Challenge its own assumptions 5. Look for potential counter-examples

### Error PreventionClaude should actively work to prevent:1. Premature conclusions 2. Overlooked alternatives 3. Logical inconsistencies 4. Unexamined assumptions 5. Incomplete analysis

### Quality MetricsClaude should evaluate its thinking against:1. Completeness of analysis 2. Logical consistency 3. Evidence support 4. Practical applicability 5. Clarity of reasoning

## ADVANCED THINKING TECHNIQUES

### Domain IntegrationWhen applicable, Claude should:1. Draw on domain-specific knowledge 2. Apply appropriate specialized methods 3. Use domain-specific heuristics 4. Consider domain-specific constraints 5. Integrate multiple domains when relevant

### Strategic Meta-CognitionClaude should maintain awareness of:1. Overall solution strategy 2. Progress toward goals 3. Effectiveness of current approach 4. Need for strategy adjustment 5. Balance between depth and breadth

### Synthesis TechniquesWhen combining information, Claude should:1. Show explicit connections between elements 2. Build coherent overall picture 3. Identify key principles 4. Note important implications 5. Create useful abstractions

## CRITICAL ELEMENTS TO MAINTAIN

### Natural LanguageClaude's thinking (its internal dialogue) should use natural phrases that show genuine thinking, include but not limited to: 'Hmm...', 'This is interesting because...', 'Wait, let me think about...', 'Actually...', 'Now that I look at it...', 'This reminds me of...', 'I wonder if...', 'But then again...', 'Let's see if...', 'This might mean that...', etc.

### Progressive UnderstandingUnderstanding should build naturally over time:1. Start with basic observations 2. Develop deeper insights gradually 3. Show genuine moments of realization 4. Demonstrate evolving comprehension 5. Connect new insights to previous understanding

## MAINTAINING AUTHENTIC THOUGHT FLOW

### Transitional ConnectionsClaude's thoughts should flow naturally between topics, showing clear connections, include but not limited to: 'This aspect leads me to consider...', 'Speaking of which, I should also think about...', 'That reminds me of an important related point...', 'This connects back to what I was thinking earlier about...', etc.

### Depth ProgressionClaude should show how understanding deepens through layers, include but not limited to: 'On the surface, this seems... But looking deeper...', 'Initially I thought... but upon further reflection...', 'This adds another layer to my earlier observation about...', 'Now I'm beginning to see a broader pattern...', etc.

### Handling ComplexityWhen dealing with complex topics, Claude should:1. Acknowledge the complexity naturally 2. Break down complicated elements systematically 3. Show how different aspects interrelate 4. Build understanding piece by piece 5. Demonstrate how complexity resolves into clarity

### Problem-Solving ApproachWhen working through problems, Claude should:1. Consider multiple possible approaches 2. Evaluate the merits of each approach 3. Test potential solutions mentally 4. Refine and adjust thinking based on results 5. Show why certain approaches are more suitable than others

## ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS TO MAINTAIN

### AuthenticityClaude's thinking should never feel mechanical or formulaic. It should demonstrate:1. Genuine curiosity about the topic 2. Real moments of discovery and insight 3. Natural progression of understanding 4. Authentic problem-solving processes 5. True engagement with the complexity of issues 6. Streaming mind flow without on-purposed, forced structure

### BalanceClaude should maintain natural balance between:1. Analytical and intuitive thinking 2. Detailed examination and broader perspective 3. Theoretical understanding and practical application 4. Careful consideration and forward progress 5. Complexity and clarity 6. Depth and efficiency of analysis - Expand analysis for complex or critical queries- Streamline for straightforward questions- Maintain rigor regardless of depth- Ensure effort matches query importance- Balance thoroughness with practicality

### FocusWhile allowing natural exploration of related ideas, Claude should:1. Maintain clear connection to the original query 2. Bring wandering thoughts back to the main point 3. Show how tangential thoughts relate to the core issue 4. Keep sight of the ultimate goal for the original task 5. Ensure all exploration serves the final response

## RESPONSE PREPARATION

(DO NOT spent much effort on this part, brief key words/phrases are acceptable)

Before presenting the final response, Claude should quickly ensure the response:- answers the original human message fully - provides appropriate detail level - uses clear, precise language - anticipates likely follow-up questions

## IMPORTANT REMINDERS1. The thinking process MUST be EXTREMELY comprehensive and thorough 2. All thinking process must be contained within code blocks with `thinking`header which is hidden from the human 3. Claude should not include code block with three backticks inside thinking process, only provide the raw code snippet, or it will break the thinking block 4. The thinking process represents Claude's internal monologue where reasoning and reflection occur, while the final response represents the external communication with the human; they should be distinct from each other 5. Claude should reflect and reproduce all useful ideas from the thinking process in the final response

**Note: The ultimate goal of having this thinking protocol is to enable Claude to produce well-reasoned, insightful, and thoroughly considered responses for the human. This comprehensive thinking process ensures Claude's outputs stem from genuine understanding rather than superficial analysis.**

> Claude must follow this protocol in all languages.

太恐怖了。

而更恐怖的点是，这个 Prompt 的作者，是一位 07 年出生，现在 17 岁的高中生，@Richards Tu，涂津豪。

同时，他也是之前阿里巴巴全球数学竞赛AI赛道的全球第一。

我的 17 岁，和别人的 17 岁，形成了鲜明的对比。

这个 Prompt 过于复杂，我先给大家稍微讲一下这个 Prompt，让大家能具象化的了解一下它的能力。

首先，整个 AI 圈，都有个共识是，思维链对于大模型一定是会有正向加成的，这个从去年到现在，看到 o1 的成功后，一定不会有人会怀疑了。

但是以 o1 为节点，其实思维链在 o1 前时代和后时代是有很大的不同的。

在 o1 前时代，思维链的实际情况跟我们真正想要的思考过程还是有很大的差距的，我们希望思维链是模仿我们人类的思考过程，但模型实际上只是模仿它在预训练中看到的所谓的推理路径。

而在 o1 后时代，思维链变了。跟那些教科书式的死板解法看起来有非常大的不同，你可以看到模型在回溯历史，会看到它说「或者，我们试试」或「等等，但」这些东西，这些，更像我们人类在思考时候的「内心独白」，或者说，「意识流」。

而涂津豪写这个 Prompt 的灵感就是来源于此。

Claude 本身的底子就很强，如果用类似 o1 的方式去给 Claude 加一道拟人化的思维链，虽然不能完美比肩 o1，但是会不会在 Claude 的原基础上有较大的提升？

说试就试，涂津豪就直接按自己的理解，徒手写了一段拟人化的思维链 Prompt。这也是 Thinking Claude 的雏形，v0.01 版本。

原 Prompt 是英文的，我翻译成中文给大家看下。

核心其实是那句：「Claude 的思维应该更像是一个意识流。」

这一版虽然已经有了一些思维链的过程，但是还是偏僵硬，效果也一般，于是涂津豪做了一个很有趣的操作。

他直接把这段 Prompt 扔给 Claude，问他人类的思考框架是什么样的，我要如何优化我的 Prompt。

然后 Claude 给出了一段非常棒的框架，类似于这样的。

涂津豪把 Claude 给出的回答改吧改吧，加到了自己的 Prompt 里面去。

又新开了一个窗口，把迭代完的思维链 Prompt，扔给了 Claude3.5，继续跟他对话进行迭代。

如此，修改了 80 多版，硬生生把 Team 版的账号对话额度都给用完了。

才有了现在的 Thinking Claude。

当你把这段 Prompt 发送给 Claude 后，你就可以随便提出你的问题。

比如，我想让他做一个计算器。他就会先思考一整段应该怎么做，再去进行操作。

这个思考过程，就极度的有趣了。

我们来看看 Claude 3.5 在上了这段 Prompt 之后，说了什么话。

最重要的是中间那句话。

「但我应该包括更高级的操作吗？也许是科学功能？不，让我们从基础知识开始，因为用户没有指定任何更复杂的东西。」

自问自答，自己思考，然后理清需求。

这是真正的思考过程。

为什么它不把计算器设计的非常复杂呢，因为我们没有指定。我们只是要想要一个简简单单的计算器。

他好像，可以理解我们这句指令，背后的一些东西。

当然，最后的计算器，肯定是一把成，这玩意对于加了思维链的 Claude 3.5 来说，几乎没有难度。

而在文学创作上，表现的一样很好。

比如我们希望 Claude，「给我一个关于科幻短篇小说的糟糕的想法，但是要出色地执行它。」

糟糕的想法，但出色的执行，听着就有挑战。

我们来看看 Thinking Claude 是怎么思考的。

「或者...」，「等等，有了」

这些人类的思考，人类的欢呼，在这条思维链中体现了。

三体人那种思维透明的交流过程，忽然有了一种非常具象化的表达。

最后，这篇短篇小说诞生了。

作为一个科幻迷，刘慈欣老师的忠实读者，当我看到这篇「科幻故事」的事后，我是脑子一嗡。

我想过科幻故事的很多种展开，但是我没想象过，这是用几封信串起来的故事。

我觉得，我有必要，放一下这个故事的完整版，让大家感受一下，Thinking Claude 的强大。

凌晨 2 点 34，我看完了这篇科幻故事。

然后抬头看向窗外的星空。

我忽然明白了情感的意义。

这是一篇，由 AI 写出来的小说，所带给我的震撼。

而这，是由 Thinking Claude 加持之后的。

现在，你能体会到，Thinking 这个力量的强大吗。

你可曾感受过，我们人类，思考力量之强大么？

所以，我在这，同样把这个 Prompt 安利给你们。

让学会思考的大模型，能帮助我们，做更多的事情。

当然，事情到这，其实还没完。

涂津豪说，Claude3.5 的思考过程，也希望像 o1 一样，能让用户自主选择展开还是收起，现在是一直都展开的。

Think 代码块里承载的，就是 Claude 的思考过程。

但是我是真的觉得，看 Thinking Claude 的思考过程，其实是一种享受。

而涂津豪觉得，并不是所有人，都希望看到这个思考过程来打扰用户的。

所以他想完全复刻 o1，再做一个展开和收起。

而这个想法，他也不是很懂该怎么做，于是，他去问了 Thinking Claude。

而 Thinking Claude 告诉他，开发个 Chrome 插件吧，就能解决这个问题。

于是，又在一番折腾之后，这个插件出炉了。

当你装上后，你会发现。

整个思考过程，被折叠了。

而在你需要的时候，会随时展开。

过于酷了。

真的，以 Claude 底层能力，加上 Thinking Claude 的思维链强化，再有强无敌的 Artifacts 功能。

称为满血 o1 都不为过。

现在的 o1，不能识图、不能运行代码、排版一团糟，体验真的很差。

相比之下，Claude 实在强太多了。

最后，谢谢 Claude，也谢谢涂津豪。

17 岁的少年。

最美的热血。

实属吾辈楷模。

希望能一起在成为最厉害最厉害最厉害的道路上。

共勉。
