agui-dotnet-reasoning

Surface a reasoning/thinking model's intermediate thoughts separately from its final answer with the AG-UI .NET SDK — so a client can show the agent "thinking" before it responds, and handle that reasoning trace correctly across turns. USE FOR: distinguishing the model's reasoning trace from its answer on the client by matching TextReasoningContent vs TextContent in each ChatResponseUpdate's Contents; rendering thinking and answer in different ways as they stream; deciding whether to carry the reasoning text into later turns (whether to append/resend the model's reasoning back into conversation history). DO NOT USE FOR: plain text streaming with no reasoning display (use agui-dotnet-streaming-chat); tools, shared state, interrupts, multimodal, generative UI, or protobuf.

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, well-organized skill body with executable code, clear anti-patterns, and a verification checklist, all within a single self-contained file. No material weaknesses to address.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient; the only explanatory prose covers SDK-specific behavior (TextReasoningContent vs TextContent, update.Text concatenating only answer parts) that Claude would not already know, and every section earns its tokens.

5 / 5

Actionability

Provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready C# that branches on content type and covers the common streaming case, plus concrete anti-patterns to avoid.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The single action (iterate Contents, branch on type, render each as it streams) is unambiguous, and the Verify section supplies explicit checkpoints; not a destructive or batch operation so no cap applies.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no need for external references, organized into clearly labeled sections (Separate thinking from the answer, Anti-patterns, Verify), which satisfies the simple-skill exception.

Description

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, specific description that clearly states what the skill does and when to use it, with explicit boundary guidance against sibling skills. Trigger-term coverage is good but could add a couple of common synonyms.

Suggestions

Consider adding 'chain of thought' or 'CoT' as an additional trigger synonym a user might naturally say.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and lists multiple concrete actions — matching TextReasoningContent vs TextContent in Contents, rendering thinking and answer separately as they stream, and deciding whether to carry reasoning into later turns — giving comprehensive coverage.

5 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (surface reasoning separately from the answer, render each, handle the trace across turns) and when (USE FOR / DO NOT USE FOR with concrete trigger phrases).

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural terms users would say ('reasoning', 'thinking model', 'thinking', 'reasoning trace') alongside SDK specifics, with clear DO NOT USE FOR disambiguation; a few common synonyms like 'chain of thought' are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (reasoning/thinking display in the AG-UI .NET SDK) and explicitly boundaries against the sibling agui-dotnet-streaming-chat skill, giving minimal conflict risk.
