-# Sequential Thinking - Output Schema Reference
+# Sequential Thinking Output Contract
 
-Complete JSON response structure documentation.
+Return public reasoning summaries, never private chain-of-thought. Markdown is the default; JSON is opt-in.
 
-## Base Response Structure
+## Markdown Shape
 
-```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

-
-## 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
-```

-## 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,
+  "uncertainties": [],
   "branches": [],
-  "thoughtHistoryLength": 5,
-  "sessionContext": {
-    "sessionId": "conversation",
-    "remainingThoughts": 95
-  }
-}
-```

----
-
-### Recent Thoughts Preview
-
-```json
-{

-### Branch Summary
-
-```json

-
-// Limit reached
-{"status": "limit_reached"}      // thoughtNumber = 100
-
-// Analysis complete
-{"status": "complete"}           // nextThoughtNeeded = false
-
-// Error state
-{"status": "failed"}             // Error occurred
-```

-    "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": [...]
-  }
-}
-```
+## Invalid Output
 
-**Enhancement:** Skill includes full context for transparency.
+Reject or repair output that:
 
----
+- contains private-thought fields or invented pseudo-session metadata;
+- claims persistent state or automatic runtime processing;
+- uses an undeclared marker;
+- calls a hypothesis verified without observed evidence;
+- includes secrets, personal data, or raw sensitive logs;
+- leaves open branches when marker is FINAL;
+- places thoughtNumber above totalThoughts.
 
-**For usage patterns, see:** [patterns.md](patterns.md)  
-**For examples, see:** [../examples/](../examples/)  
-**For parameters, see:** [parameters.md](parameters.md)
+The skill should explain malformed user-supplied hints in plain language rather than inventing a processor error object.
