Atom of Thoughts (AoT) reasoning - decompose complex problems into atomic units with confidence tracking and backtracking. For genuinely complex reasoning, not everyday questions. Triggers on: atomise, complex reasoning, decompose problem, structured thinking, verify hypothesis.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Atomise - Atom of Thoughts Reasoning

Decompose complex problems into minimal, verifiable "atoms" of thought. Unlike chain-of-thought (linear, error-accumulating), AoT treats each step as independently verifiable and backtracks when confidence drops.

**Use for:** Security analysis, architectural decisions, complex debugging, multi-step proofs.
**Don't use for:** Simple questions, trivial calculations, information lookup.

```
/atomise "<problem>" [--light | --deep] [--math | --code | --security | --design]
```

---

## The Core Loop

```
1. DECOMPOSE -> Break into atomic subquestions (1-2 sentences each)
2. SOLVE     -> Answer leaf nodes first, propagate up
3. VERIFY    -> Test each hypothesis (counterexample, consistency, domain check)
4. CONTRACT  -> Summarize verified state in 2 sentences (drop history)
5. EVALUATE  -> Confident enough? Done. Too uncertain? Backtrack and try another path.
```

Repeat until confident or all paths exhausted.

---

## Atoms

Each atom is a minimal unit:

```
{id, type, content, depends_on[], confidence, verified}
```

| Type | Purpose | Starting Confidence |
|------|---------|---------------------|
| **premise** | Given facts | 1.0 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add 0xdarkmatter/claude-mods/atomise@sha256:a5ba040f6d385881

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260410.d221136, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
