This project provides a browser extension and a set of detailed instructions to enhance the reasoning and output clarity of Anthropic's Claude AI, specifically targeting users who want to explore and improve Claude's "deep mindset" and thought process. It aims to make Claude's internal monologue more readable and manageable, leading to more thorough and transparent responses.

How It Works

The core of the project is the "Thinking Protocol," a set of meticulously crafted prompts designed to guide Claude through a systematic, multi-step reasoning process before generating a final answer. This protocol is delivered via a browser extension that integrates with the Claude web interface, automatically organizing Claude's generated thoughts into collapsible, readable sections. This approach aims to improve response quality by encouraging deeper analysis and providing users with visibility into the AI's decision-making.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Install the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store or manually by downloading the latest release from the Releases Page, unzipping, and loading it as an unpacked extension in chrome://extensions/ with developer mode enabled.
• Usage: Visit Claude.ai, create a custom style via the "Choose style" selector, paste the content of a desired instruction set from model_instructions/ into the "Use custom instructions (advanced)" field, and start chatting.
• Dependencies: Requires a web browser (Chrome currently supported, Firefox in development) and access to Claude.ai.

Highlighted Details

• Offers multiple versions of thinking protocols (model_instructions/) with varying levels of detail and release dates.
• Browser extension features include collapsible thought sections, one-click copying of thought segments, and automatic application to new messages.

Limitations & Caveats

The project explicitly states it is not aimed at improving benchmarks or mathematical capabilities, as these are determined by the base Claude model. The Chrome extension may be outdated if installed from the store, with manual installation of the latest version recommended. Firefox support is noted as "in development."
