This PR implements the "think" tool, an AI-optimized reasoning space based on Anthropic's research that enhances Claude's problem-solving capabilities for complex tasks.

Features

  • Provides stateless reasoning space for structured thinking
  • Automatic thought categorization (Refactoring, Security, Performance, etc.)
  • Input validation with 32KB size limit and content safety checks
  • Metadata generation (timestamps, character counts)
  • Optional logging with automatic rotation
  • Full Unicode and emoji support

Implementation Details

  • Added ThinkTools.cs with core implementation
  • Comprehensive test suite in ThinkOperationTests.cs covering all features
  • CLI client integration with formatted output
  • Thorough documentation in tool-reference.md with best practice examples
  • Added README features section highlighting benefits

Usage Examples

The think tool is particularly valuable for:

  • Breaking down complex problems into manageable steps
  • Analyzing outputs from other tools before taking action
  • Verifying compliance with project policies and guidelines
  • Planning multi-step operations that require careful consideration
  • Documenting architectural decisions with clear reasoning

Testing

All tests pass, including boundary tests for size limits, content validation, Unicode handling, and categorization logic.

- Updated CLI rules to include AI-assisted development guidelines, emphasizing structured command design, error handling, and user experience improvements.
- Enhanced .NET development rules with AI documentation strategies, code organization, and testing guidelines tailored for Claude 3.7 Sonnet integration.
- Added specific recommendations for performance optimization and security practices in both CLI and .NET contexts.
- Introduced the `think` command to facilitate structured reasoning during complex operations without altering state.
- Added detailed documentation for the `think` tool, including parameters, usage examples, and error handling.
- Updated README.md to reflect new capabilities and examples for structured thinking.
- Implemented a new response model for the `think` tool and integrated it into the CLI.
- Added tests to validate the functionality and error handling of the `think` command.
- Adjusted JsonSerializerOptions to ensure proper handling of special characters and null values.
- Updated test case to focus on emoji handling, ensuring compatibility with the MCP protocol.
- Removed unnecessary console output for cleaner test execution.
…ng capabilities

- Added new features to the README.md, including AI-Optimized Reasoning, Task Planning, Policy Compliance, Tool Output Analysis, and Decision Documentation.
- Expanded the tool reference documentation with best practice examples for multi-step task planning, policy compliance verification, tool output analysis, and architectural decision documentation.
- Included a link to Anthropic's research for further insights on the think tool's implementation.
