## What it is
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

## Facets
