# compass-reason-verify Pick the rung from **concrete signals**, then reason at that rung. The guard selects the rung deterministically and enforces the self-consistency count. `GUARD="python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/compass.py"` ## Select the rung (guarded) Describe the task's signals and let the guard choose: ``` echo '{ "has_image_or_diagram":false, "multistep_arithmetic":true, "dependent_intermediate_values":true, "single_correct_answer":false, "costly_wrong_assumption":false, "precision_arith":false, "many_variables":false, "large_numbers":false, "rounding_risk":false, "conditional_logic":false }' | $GUARD rung - ``` The guard returns `rung`, `multimodal_cot_first`, and `self_consistency_paths`. **Climb the ladder only when concrete signals apply:** - **Rung 0 (zero-shot)** — only when the output format is fully specified, there is no multi-step arithmetic, and no dependent intermediate values. The guard refuses Rung 0 when dependent steps exist. - **Rung 1 (Chain-of-Thought)** — the default for multi-step reasoning. **Label each step (Step 1, Step 2, …) and end with a single clearly labeled final-answer sentence.** - **Rung 2a (Self-consistency)** — when a single correct answer exists and a wrong early assumption is costly. Produce **exactly 3 independent attempts**, one per strategy: forward deduction, backward from options, constraint mapping. Then take the majority. - **Rung 2b (PAL)** — when there are many variables, co
