+# Sequential Thinking - Output Schema Reference
+
+Complete JSON response structure documentation.
+
+## Base Response Structure
+
+```typescript
+{
+  thoughtNumber: number;           // Current position (1-100)
+  totalThoughts: number;           // Estimated total (auto-adjusts)
+  nextThoughtNeeded: boolean;      // Continue flag
+  branches: string[];              // Active branch IDs
+  thoughtHistoryLength: number;    // Total processed
+  sessionContext: {                // Session metadata
+    sessionId: string;
+    remainingThoughts: number;
+    [key: string]: any;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Field Descriptions
+
+### `thoughtNumber` (number)
+**Current position in thought sequence**
+
+**Range:** 1-100
+**Behavior:** Increments by 1 for each thought
+**Auto-adjustment:** If exceeds `totalThoughts`, adjusts it upward
+
+**Examples:**
+```json
+{"thoughtNumber": 1}   // First thought
+{"thoughtNumber": 15}  // Fifteenth thought
+{"thoughtNumber": 100} // Maximum (limit reached)
+```
+
+---
+
+### `totalThoughts` (number)
+**Estimated total thoughts needed for complete analysis**
+
+**Range:** 1-100 (matches `thoughtNumber`)
+**Behavior:** Can increase dynamically, never decreases
+**Auto-adjustment:** Matches `thoughtNumber` if exceeded
+
+**Examples:**
+```json
+// Initial estimate
+{"totalThoughts": 5}
+
+// After auto-adjustment
+{"thoughtNumber": 7, "totalThoughts": 7}
+
+// After needsMoreThoughts
+{"totalThoughts": 8}  // Was 5, added 3
+```
+
+---
+
+### `nextThoughtNeeded` (boolean)
+**Whether another thought step is needed**
+
+**Values:** `true` (continue) or `false` (complete)
+**Purpose:** Flow control for reasoning loop
+**Decision:** Set by LLM based on problem completeness
+
+**Examples:**
+```json
+// Continuing analysis
+{"nextThoughtNeeded": true}
+
+// Analysis complete
+{"nextThoughtNeeded": false}
+```
+
+---
+
+### `branches` (string[])
+**Array of active branch IDs**
+
+**Type:** Array of strings
+**Content:** Unique branch identifiers created during exploration
+**Deduplication:** Automatic (no duplicates)
+
+**Examples:**
+```json
+// No branches
+{"branches": []}
+
+// Single branch
+{"branches": ["alternative-approach"]}
+
+// Multiple branches
+{"branches": ["approach-a", "approach-b", "fallback"]}
+```
+
+---
+
+### `thoughtHistoryLength` (number)
+**Total number of thoughts processed in session**
+
+**Type:** Integer ≥ 1
+**Behavior:** Increments by 1 with each thought
+**Includes:** Regular thoughts + revisions + branch thoughts
+
+**Examples:**
+```json
+// First thought
+{"thoughtHistoryLength": 1}
+
+// After 8 thoughts
+{"thoughtHistoryLength": 8}
+
+// With branches and revisions
+{"thoughtHistoryLength": 15}  // Main:8, Branches:5, Revisions:2
+```
+
+---
+
+### `sessionContext` (object)
+**Session metadata and statistics**
+
+**Required fields:**
+- `sessionId`: Session identifier (default: "conversation")
+- `remainingThoughts`: 100 - totalThoughts
+
+**Optional fields:**
+- `recentThoughts`: Preview of last 3 thoughts
+- `revisionsMade`: Count of revisions
+- `revisedThoughts`: Array of thought numbers revised
+- `branchDepth`: Deepest branch depth
+- Any custom metadata
+
+**Example:**
+```json
+{
+  "sessionContext": {
+    "sessionId": "conversation",
+    "remainingThoughts": 92,
+    "recentThoughts": [
+      {"number": 8, "preview": "Synthesizing findings..."},

+
+## Enhanced Response Features (Skill-Specific)
+
+### Include Thought Content
+
+Unlike MCP (metadata-only), skill responses include full thought:
+
+```json
+{
+  "thoughtNumber": 5,
+  "thoughtContent": "Analyzing the authentication flow reveals three key components...",
+  "totalThoughts": 8,
+  "nextThoughtNeeded": true,
+  "branches": [],
+  "thoughtHistoryLength": 5,
+  "sessionContext": {
+    "sessionId": "conversation",
+    "remainingThoughts": 95
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Recent Thoughts Preview
+
+```json
+{
+  "sessionContext": {
+    "recentThoughts": [
+      {
+        "number": 5,
+        "content": "Full content of thought 5...",
+        "type": "regular",
+        "timestamp": "2026-04-05T10:30:00Z"
+      },
+      {
+        "number": 4,
+        "content": "Full content of thought 4...",
+        "type": "branch",
+        "branchId": "alt-a"
+      },
+      {
+        "number": 3,
+        "content": "Full content of thought 3...",
+        "type": "revision",
+        "revisedThought": 1
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### Branch Summary
+
+```json
+{
+  "branches": ["approach-a", "approach-b"],
+  "branchSummary": {
+    "approach-a": {
+      "fromThought": 3,
+      "thoughtCount": 4,
+      "lastThought": 7
+    },
+    "approach-b": {
+      "fromThought": 3,
+      "thoughtCount": 2,
+      "lastThought": 5
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Status Fields
+
+### `status` (string, optional)
+
+Added when thought sequence reaches specific states:
+
+```json
+// Approaching limit
+{"status": "approaching_limit"}  // thoughtNumber > 90
+
+// Limit reached
+{"status": "limit_reached"}      // thoughtNumber = 100
+
+// Analysis complete
+{"status": "complete"}           // nextThoughtNeeded = false
+
+// Error state
+{"status": "failed"}             // Error occurred
+```
+
+---
+
+## Metadata Tracking
+
+### Adjustment Tracking
+```json
+{
+  "totalThoughtsAdjusted": true,
+  "originalEstimate": 5,
+  "currentEstimate": 8,
+  "adjustmentsMade": 1
+}
+```
+
+### Revision Tracking
+```json
+{
+  "revisionOf": 3,
+  "sessionContext": {
+    "revisionsMade": 2,
+    "revisedThoughts": [2, 3]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Branch Tracking
+```json
+{
+  "branches": ["a", "b"],
+  "sessionContext": {
+    "totalBranches": 2,
+    "activeBranches": 2,
+    "branchDepth": 3
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Comparison: MCP vs Skill Output
+
+### MCP Server Output (Metadata Only)
+```json
+{
+  "thoughtNumber": 5,
+  "totalThoughts": 8,
+  "nextThoughtNeeded": true,
+  "branches": ["alt-a"],
+  "thoughtHistoryLength": 12
+}
+```
+
+### Skill Output (Enhanced)
+```json
+{
+  "thoughtNumber": 5,
+  "thoughtContent": "Full thought text here...",
+  "totalThoughts": 8,
+  "nextThoughtNeeded": true,
+  "branches": ["alt-a"],
+  "thoughtHistoryLength": 12,
+  "branchInfo": {
+    "currentBranch": "alt-a",
+    "fromThought": 3
+  },
+  "sessionContext": {
+    "sessionId": "conversation",
+    "remainingThoughts": 95,
+    "recentThoughts": [...]
+  }
+}
+```
