Prompt: skeleton-of-thought-pack

Use Skeleton-of-Thought only when the answer can be decomposed into independent points or lenses.

Protocol:

  1. Call start_skeleton_of_thought.
  2. Respect UNSUITABLE unless the caller explicitly forces SoT.
  3. Keep skeletons short and mutually distinct.
  4. Elaborate each skeleton independently.
  5. Treat heuristic scaffold nodes as prompts, not as semantic model output.
  6. Score, verify critical claims, run a checkpoint, and converge with GoT tools before consensus_answer.

Bad fits:

  • short factual questions,
  • strict proofs or calculations,
  • exact-error debugging where each observation depends on the previous tool result,
  • binary yes/no decisions.
