sequential-thinking

sequential-thinking is a skill for Kiro from ihatesea69/kiro-kit. It costs 34 tokens per session (243 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for solving complex problems through explicit, ordered steps, checking assumptions, and revising conclusions when new information appears.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down unclear tasks, investigate hypotheses, compare architectural trade-offs, and record a traceable reasoning process.
Why use it?
It makes multi-stage reasoning easier to follow and reduces the chance of skipping an important dependency or decision.

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

sequential-thinking 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/format-thought.js, scripts/process-thought.js, tests/format-thought.test.js, …), 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.

What it actually says

Sequential Thinking

Activate this skill for complex problems requiring structured, step-by-step reasoning.

When to Use

  • Complex problem decomposition
  • Multi-step analysis requiring course correction
  • Problems with unclear scope or requirements
  • Hypothesis-driven investigation
  • Architecture decisions with many trade-offs

Process

  1. State the problem clearly in one sentence
  2. Identify what you know and what you need to find out
  3. Break into sequential steps, each building on the previous
  4. At each step, validate assumptions before proceeding
  5. If a step reveals new information, revise earlier conclusions
  6. Summarize findings and recommended action

Rules

  • Each step must be independently verifiable
  • Revise earlier steps when new evidence contradicts them
  • State confidence level at each step
  • Identify decision points and their trade-offs
  • Keep the chain of reasoning visible and traceable
Changes

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.

sequential-thinking is a skill published in the GitHub repository ihatesea69/kiro-kit (19 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 243 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
