About
Scientific Thinking Mode is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to replace trial-and-error guessing with a structured investigation framework. It forces the model into a Deep Reasoning state where it systematically records factual observations, formulates null and alternative hypotheses, and designs experiments to falsify potential causes. By identifying confounding variables and using a Tree-of-Thought planning approach, this skill provides a high-confidence pathway for resolving intermittent bugs, performing root cause analysis, and navigating high-stakes architectural refactors.
