Thinking Mode
What's Wrong or Missing?
In Claude Code v1, there used to be three different thinking levels:
- think
- think hard (more thinking)
- ultrathink (even more thinking)
Now, in Claude Code V2, you deprecated these thinking levels, and introduced a new "Thinking On/Off" mode that is toggleable by pressing TAB.
I noticed you removed the color highlighting for think and think hard, but they kept ultrathink.
Suggested Improvement
The question is - how does Thinking On/Off relate to ultrathink? Do they complement each other?
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
