deep-reasoning

deep-reasoning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AP3X-Dev/AG3NT. It costs 24 tokens per session (2,288 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to work through difficult problems by breaking them into steps, comparing possible approaches, testing explanations, and tracking evidence and confidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for complex multi-step decisions, alternative-solution analysis, hypothesis testing, and investigations where conclusions need supporting evidence.
Why use it?
It reduces missed assumptions and makes it easier to revise an answer when new information changes the situation.

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

deep-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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/example.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Deep Reasoning Skill

Use this skill when you need to think through complex problems systematically. The deep_reasoning tool helps you:

  • Break down complex problems into manageable steps
  • Explore multiple solution approaches (branching)
  • Revise earlier thinking when new information emerges
  • Generate and test hypotheses
  • Track confidence levels in your conclusions
  • Maintain structured reasoning across long analyses

When to Use Deep Reasoning

Use this tool when:

  • The problem requires multiple steps to solve
  • You need to explore alternative approaches
  • Earlier assumptions might need revision
  • You want to track confidence in your conclusions
  • The problem involves hypothesis testing
  • You need to maintain reasoning context across many steps

Don't use for:

  • Simple factual lookups
  • Single-step operations
  • Tasks that don't benefit from structured thinking

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.

deep-reasoning is a skill published in the GitHub repository AP3X-Dev/AG3NT (9 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 2,288 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
