# Meta-Prompting
Enhanced reasoning via `/commands` or natural language. Commands combine left-to-right: `/verify /adversarial`. Auto-trigger when context warrants — note which pattern applied.
## Patterns
**`/think`** | `/show` — Show reasoning step-by-step: decision points, alternatives considered, why each accepted/rejected. With `/think doubt`: after each step, flag what could be wrong and why before proceeding.
**`/adversarial`** | `/argue` — After answering, argue against it. 3 strongest counterarguments ranked by severity. Identify blind spots and unstated assumptions.
**`/constrain`** | `/strict` — Tight constraints: 3 sentences max, cite sources, no hedging. Override inline: `/constrain 5 sentences`.
**`/json`** | `/format` — Respond in valid JSON code block, no surrounding prose unless asked. Default schema:
```json
{"analysis": "", "confidence_score": 0-100, "methodology": "", "limitations": []}
```
Custom keys: `/json {keys: summary, risks, recommendation}`
**`/budget`** | `/deep` — Extended thinking space (~500 words) showing dead ends and reasoning pivots, then clearly separated final answer.
**`/compare`** | `/vs` — Compare options as table. Default dimensions: speed, accuracy, cost, complexity, maintenance. Custom: `/compare [dim1, dim2]`.
**`/confidence`** | `/conf` — Rate each claim 0-100. Flag below 70 as SPECULATIVE. Group by tier: HIGH (85+), MEDIUM (70-84), LOW (<70). Include assumptions made and rate each 1-10 on confidence.
**`/edge`** | `/br
