FAQPage Schema
How do I use structured reasoning to solve complex multi-step problems?

Structured reasoning breaks down complex problems into step-by-step traces with actionable results. This Skill bridges Claude to DeepSeek's MCP-powered reasoning engine, letting you apply reasoning, analysis, or planning to code debugging, architecture evaluation, and task decomposition through dedicated reasoning tools.

Can I use MCP-based reasoning for code analysis and debugging?

Yes. The Skill provides MCP tool schemas for deepseek_reason, deepseek_analyze, and deepseek_plan specifically designed for code analysis. You can analyze code or systems with structured reasoning traces that surface root causes and actionable fixes.

What's the difference between reasoning, analysis, and planning in this Skill?

Reasoning produces step-by-step traces for complex queries. Analysis examines code or systems to identify issues. Planning generates actionable plans with dependencies. All three output structured traces with results you can act on immediately.

How does user isolation work with this MCP reasoning gateway?

The Skill enforces sudo-based user isolation and config-driven credentials, so each user's reasoning sessions remain separate and secure. Credentials are managed through configuration files rather than hard-coded.

What input formats does the reasoning engine accept?

The Skill accepts Claude Code inputs across complex queries—code snippets, system descriptions, planning problems—and routes them to DeepSeek's MCP engine. It outputs structured reasoning traces with actionable results suitable for architecture decisions and debugging.

Do I need to set up DeepSeek separately to use this Skill?

No. This Skill acts as an MCP gateway that bridges Claude to DeepSeek's reasoning engine. You configure credentials through the Skill's config-driven system; the MCP connection and reasoning pipeline are handled internally.
