# Thinking Levels
|
|
|
|
## What it does
|
|
|
|
* Inline directive in any inbound body: `/t <level>`, `/think:<level>`, or `/thinking <level>`.
|
|
* Levels (aliases): `off | minimal | low | medium | high | xhigh` (GPT-5.2 + Codex models only)
|
|
* minimal → "think"
|
|
* low → "think hard"
|
|
* medium → "think harder"
|
|
* high → "ultrathink" (max budget)
|
|
* xhigh → "ultrathink+" (GPT-5.2 + Codex models only)
|
|
* `highest`, `max` map to `high`.
|
|
* Provider notes:
|
|
* Z.AI (`zai/*`) only supports binary thinking (`on`/`off`). Any non-`off` level is treated as `on` (mapped to `low`).
|
|
|
|
## Resolution order
|
|
|
|
1. Inline directive on the message (applies only to that message).
|
|
2. Session override (set by sending a directive-only message).
|
|
3. Global default (`agents.defaults.thinkingDefault` in config).
|
|
4. Fallback: low for reasoning-capable models; off otherwise.
|
|
|
|
## Setting a session default
|
|
|
|
* Send a message that is **only** the directive (whitespace allowed), e.g. `/think:medium` or `/t high`.
|
|
* That sticks for the current session (per-sender by default); cleared by `/think:off` or session idle reset.
|
|
* Confirmation reply is sent (`Thinking level set to high.` / `Thinking disabled.`). If the level is invalid (e.g. `/thinking big`), the command is rejected with a hint and the session state is left unchanged.
|
|
* Send `/think` (or `/think:`) with no argument to see the current thinking level.
|
|
|
|
## Application by agent
|
|
|
|
* **Embedded Pi**: the resolved level is passed to the in-process Pi agent runtime.
|
|
|
|
## Verbose directives (/verbose or /v)
|
|
|
|
* Levels: `on` (minimal) | `full` | `off` (default).
|
|
* Directive-only message toggles session verbose and replies `Verbose logging enabled.` / `Verbose logging disabled.`; invalid levels return a hint without changing state.
|
|
* `/verbose off` stores an explicit session override; clear it via the Sessions UI by choosing `inherit`.
|
|
* Inline directive affects only that message; session/global defaults apply otherwise.
|
|
* Send `/verbose` (or `/verbose:`) with no argument to see the current verbose level.
|
|
* When verbose is on, agents that emit structured tool results (Pi, other JSON agents) send each tool call back as its own metadata-only message, prefixed with `<emoji> <tool-name>: <arg>` when available (path/command). These tool summaries are sent as soon as each tool starts (separate bubbles), not as streaming deltas.
|
|
* When verbose is `full`, tool outputs are also forwarded after completion (separate bubble, truncated to a safe length). If you toggle `/verbose on|full|off` while a run is in-flight, subsequent tool bubbles honor the new setting.
|
|
|
|
## Reasoning visibility (/reasoning)
|
|
|
|
* Levels: `on|off|stream`.
|
|
* Directive-only message toggles whether thinking blocks are shown in replies.
|
|
* When enabled, reasoning is sent as a **separate message** prefixed with `Reasoning:`.
|
|
* `stream` (Telegram only): streams reasoning into the Telegram draft bubble while the reply is generating, then sends the final answer without reasoning.
|
|
* Alias: `/reason`.
|
|
* Send `/reasoning` (or `/reasoning:`) with no argument to see the current reasoning level.

|
## Heartbeats
|
|
|
|
* Heartbeat probe body is the configured heartbeat prompt (default: `Read HEARTBEAT.md if it exists (workspace context). Follow it strictly. Do not infer or repeat old tasks from prior chats. If nothing needs attention, reply HEARTBEAT_OK.`). Inline directives in a heartbeat message apply as usual (but avoid changing session defaults from heartbeats).
|
|
* Heartbeat delivery defaults to the final payload only. To also send the separate `Reasoning:` message (when available), set `agents.defaults.heartbeat.includeReasoning: true` or per-agent `agents.list[].heartbeat.includeReasoning: true`.
|
|
|
|
## Web chat UI
|
|
|
|
* The web chat thinking selector mirrors the session's stored level from the inbound session store/config when the page loads.
|
|
* Picking another level applies only to the next message (`thinkingOnce`); after sending, the selector snaps back to the stored session level.
|
|
* To change the session default, send a `/think:<level>` directive (as before); the selector will reflect it after the next reload.
