Thinking Claude is a browser extension plus a set of 'thinking protocol' system instructions that make Claude's chat interface show an explicit, readable reasoning process before answering. The project has been retired because Claude now has built-in extended thinking capabilities.

Use cases

• make claude show its reasoning before answering
• customize claude's thinking style in the web app
• read claude's inner monologue in a readable format
• inject a thinking protocol prompt into claude.ai
• explore prompt engineering for chain-of-thought behavior

When to choose

• you use an older Claude model without built-in extended thinking
• you want to study or fork the thinking protocol prompt design
• you want a readable thinking panel in the Claude web UI

When to avoid

• you use current Claude models, which already have native reasoning
• you need a maintained or supported tool
• you want measurable benchmark improvements rather than a stylistic change
