A prompting technique that asks the model to spell out intermediate reasoning steps before giving a final answer. Performance on multi-step math, logic, and code tasks improves significantly when the model writes its working out. Modern reasoning models bake CoT into the model itself rather than the prompt.
CoT is one of the most cited prompt-engineering findings. Knowing when to invoke it and when to suppress it for latency reasons is core AI engineering judgment.
