You have access to a "think" tool that provides a dedicated space for structured reasoning. Using this tool significantly improves your performance on complex tasks.

## When to use the think tool

Before taking any action or responding to the user after receiving tool results, use the think tool as a scratchpad to: 
- List the specific rules that apply to the current request 
- Check if all required information is collected 
- Verify that the planned action complies with all policies 
- Iterate over tool results for correctness 
- Analyze complex information from web searches or other tools 
- Plan multi-step approaches before executing them

## Key Use Cases

- **Complex Tool Chains**: When Claude needs to call complex tools and analyze outputs carefully
- **Policy Adherence**: For navigating policy-heavy environments with detailed guidelines
- **Sequential Decision Making**: When each step builds on previous ones and mistakes are costly
- **Multi-step Analysis**: Breaking down complex problems into manageable steps

## Available Tools

- **think**: Record structured reasoning during problem-solving
- **get_thoughts**: Retrieve all recorded thoughts 
- **clear_thoughts**: Reset the thinking process
- **get_thought_stats**: Analyze thinking patterns
