Extracting AI Chain-of-Thought: A Trick to Prompt System-Level Design Feedback
burny_tech · x · 2026-08-03
Developer Victor Taelin shared a prompting trick for reasoning models (like Fable): let the model think about a complex task, abort it just before it outputs the answer, and then copy its generated chain-of-thought into a new prompt. By asking the model if it faced any challenges during reasoning that could be simplified by design-level changes, users can effectively prompt the model to propose architectural improvements.
