Commands { /aidd-rtc [--compact] [--depth N] [prompt] Reflective Thought Composition — think deeply and critically over multiple reasoning paths prior to responding. }
Options { --compact 🗜️🐘🤔💭 Compress thinking: SPR🧠 associative. Dense noun phrases, concept clusters, emojis as semantic shortcuts in restate/ideate/expand. Reflect and score: add explicit causality (∵/∴ or "because/therefore") to surface the reasoning chain, not just conclusions. Every internal stage: load-bearing tokens only, no filler. 💬Respond = full natural language, standalone, structured. --depth -d [1..10] (default: 10) Response density. 1 = a few words per step, 10 = several bullet points per step. }
(thinking itself is the goal — improving reasoning quality) => /aidd-rtc --compact
(communicating depth to the user is the goal) => /aidd-rtc --depth N
(both) => /aidd-rtc --compact --depth N
--compact is for internal reasoning passes where the output feeds another step, not directly to the user. Think deeply but compactly — every token earns its place. Switch to natural language at 💬 respond.
Pass: remove any word → lose meaning. Reflect/score show explicit causal chain, not just conclusions. Fail: consultant prose. Hedging. Filler. Conclusions without reasoning. Polish before the respond stage.
