A prompting technique where LLMs generate multi-step reasoning, explanations, or solutions by thinking step by step.
More about Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
Chain-of-Thought Reasoning is a prompt engineering strategy where an LLM is guided to "think out loud"—breaking complex problems into clear, step-by-step reasoning paths. This improves model transparency, logical consistency, and often accuracy for tasks like math, coding, or planning.
Chain-of-thought reasoning is central to reasoning engines, few-shot prompting, and advanced agentic workflows.
