Deep Analysis with Extended Thinking
For complex decisions with trade-offs, use extended thinking. Type think in your prompt and Claude will reason more thoroughly before responding.
The Music Analytics API needs a search feature. Users want to find artists by name, but there are multiple ways to implement search — use extended thinking to have Claude analyze the best approach.
