**ReasonKit** transforms ad-hoc LLM prompting into structured, auditable reasoning chains. This meta-crate provides a unified installation for the complete ReasonKit suite.
## One-Line Install
```bash
# Install complete ReasonKit suite
cargo install reasonkit
# Or use the universal installer
## What's Included
| **Core** | [reasonkit-core](https://crates.io/crates/reasonkit-core) | Reasoning engine with ThinkTools |
| **Memory** | [reasonkit-mem](https://crates.io/crates/reasonkit-mem) | Vector storage, hybrid search, RAPTOR trees |
| **Web** | [reasonkit-web](https://crates.io/crates/reasonkit-web) | Browser automation, MCP sidecar |
## Quick Start
### CLI Usage
```bash
# Run structured reasoning (ThinkTools)
reasonkit think --profile balanced "Should we migrate to microservices?"
# Quick 2-step analysis
reasonkit think --profile quick "Is this email phishing?"
# Maximum rigor (paranoid mode)
reasonkit think --profile paranoid "Validate this cryptographic implementation"
# Verify claims with triangulation
reasonkit verify "GPT-4 has 1.76 trillion parameters"
# Start MCP server for AI agent integration
reasonkit serve
```
### Library Usage
```rust
use reasonkit::prelude::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
// Create reasoning executor
let executor = reasonkit::core::thinktool::ProtocolExecutor::new()?;
// Run GigaThink for multi-perspective analysis
let result = executor.execute(
"gigathink",
reasonkit::core::thinktool::ProtocolInput::query("What factors drive startup success?")
).await?;
println!("Confidence: {:.1}%", result.confidence * 100.0);
for step in &result.steps {
println!("- {}", step.as_text().unwrap_or_default());
}
Ok(())
}
```
## ThinkTools
Five core reasoning protocols:
| **GigaThink** | `gt` | Generate 10+ diverse perspectives |
| **LaserLogic** | `ll` | Precision deductive reasoning, fallacy detection |
| **BedRock** | `br` | First principles decomposition |
| **ProofGuard** | `pg` | Multi-source verification (3+ sources) |
| **BrutalHonesty** | `bh` | Adversarial self-critique |
## Profiles
Pre-configured protocol chains:
| `quick` | GT, LL | 70% | Fast analysis |
| `balanced` | GT, LL, BR, PG | 80% | Standard decisions |
| `deep` | All 5 | 85% | Complex problems |
| `paranoid` | All 5 + validation | 95% | High-stakes |
## Features
```toml
[dependencies]
# Full suite (default)
reasonkit = "0.1"
# Core reasoning only
reasonkit = { version = "0.1", default-features = false, features = ["core"] }
# Memory layer only
reasonkit = { version = "0.1", default-features = false, features = ["mem"] }
# Web automation only
reasonkit = { version = "0.1", default-features = false, features = ["web"] }
```
| `full` | All components (default) |
| `core` | Reasoning engine only |
| `mem` | Memory layer only |
| `web` | Web/browser automation only |
| `python` | Python bindings via PyO3 |
## LLM Providers
18+ providers supported out of the box:
- **Major Cloud**: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock
- **Specialized**: xAI (Grok), Groq, Mistral, DeepSeek, Cohere, Perplexity
- **Aggregation**: OpenRouter (300+ models)
```bash
# Set your API key
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
# Or use a different provider
reasonkit think --provider openai --model gpt-4o "Your question"
```

## Philosophy
**"Designed, Not Dreamed"** — Structure beats raw intelligence.
ReasonKit imposes systematic reasoning protocols on LLM outputs, producing more reliable, verifiable, and explainable results.
