1. To CoT or not to CoT? Chain-of-thought helps mainly on math and symbolic reasoning (2024 · 138 citations)
   Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting, where a large language model is asked to reason step by step, is widely treated as a general booster for reasoning.
2. Metacognitive Self-Correction for Multi-Agent System via Prototype-Guided Next-Execution Reconstruction (2026 · 3 citations)
   LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) are fragile: one agent's mistake can spread through the collaboration and derail the whole run.
