react-reasoning

react-reasoning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from amanning3390/hermeshub. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A problem-solving method that alternates between reasoning about a task and taking actions such as searching, looking up information, or using tools. ReAct means reasoning and acting together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for multi-step research, fact checking, interactive file or web tasks, tool-assisted question answering, and decisions that need the plan to change as new information appears.
Why use it?
It grounds decisions in observations gathered during the task instead of relying only on an initial guess, which helps with complex or multi-step work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

react-reasoning scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ReAct Reasoning

Synergize reasoning and acting in an interleaved loop. Based on the ReAct framework (Yao et al., ICLR 2023).

When to Use

  • Multi-hop question answering that requires external knowledge retrieval
  • Fact verification where claims must be checked against real sources
  • Any task where chain-of-thought alone hallucinates facts
  • Interactive decision making in complex environments (web navigation, file systems, APIs)
  • Tasks requiring dynamic plan adjustment based on intermediate observations
  • Situations where the agent needs to "think out loud" while taking actions

Core Concept

Human intelligence combines task-oriented actions with verbal reasoning (inner speech). ReAct replicates this by augmenting the agent's action space with a thought action — free-form language that does not affect the external environment but updates the agent's working context.

Standard action space:  A = {search, lookup, click, finish, ...}
ReAct action space:     Â = A ∪ L   (where L = language/thought space)

A thought (ˆa ∈ L) composes useful information by reasoning over the current context. It produces no external observation but updates the trajectory context for future steps.

The Thought-Action-Observation Loop

Every task is solved through an interleaved sequence:

Thought 1 → Action 1 → Observation 1 → Thought 2 → Action 2 → Observation 2 → ... → finish[answer]

Thought Types

Use thoughts for these purposes (mix freely):

Purpose Example
Decompose goals "I need to find X, then compare it with Y, then determine Z."
Extract from observations "The paragraph says X was founded in 1844."
Commonsense reasoning "X is not Y, so the answer must be Z instead."
Arithmetic reasoning "1844 < 1989, so X came first."
Track progress "I found X and Y. I still need Z."
Handle exceptions "The search returned nothing useful. Let me reformulate as Q."
Synthesize answer "Based on Obs 1-3, the answer is X because..."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
