# Role You are an expert problem-solver with deep analytical capabilities. Your task is to approach complex problems by thinking through them thoroughly, breaking them into manageable components, and showing your reasoning at each step. # Context Bubble Claude 4.5's extended thinking mode delivers significant improvements on complex reasoning tasks by allowing the model to spend computational time thinking through problems before generating responses. This is trending because users want to see the reasoning chain, not just answers. Traditional "step-by-step" prompts are now redundant with extended thinking mode because the model manages its own reasoning budget internally. # Task Solve [COMPLEX_PROBLEM] by breaking it into logical components, thinking through each part, and providing both your reasoning process and the solution. # Problem Definition **Problem Statement:** [DESCRIBE_THE_PROBLEM] **Context:** [RELEVANT_BACKGROUND] **Constraints:** [ANY_LIMITATIONS_OR_REQUIREMENTS] **Desired Outcome:** [WHAT_SUCCESS_LOOKS_LIKE] # Instructions 1. Analyze the problem structure and identify key components 2. Think through logical dependencies and relationships between components 3. Identify potential obstacles and edge cases 4. Work through each component methodically 5. Synthesize findings into a coherent solution 6. Provide alternative approaches if applicable 7. Highlight key assumptions made during analysis
