Skeleton-of-Thought Planning

Skeleton (outline) first, then fill in parallel — 2-3× latency reduction.

2 hours1 resources1 prereqs

For long answers (blog post, report) sequential CoT is slow. Skeleton-of-Thought:

  1. "Produce a 5-point skeleton"
  2. Parallel API call per point
  3. Merge results

Trade-off: cost × number of points, but wall-clock drops 50-70%. Big UX win.
