Zero-shot chain-of-thought

Zero-shot chain-of-thought is a prompting technique that elicits step-by-step reasoning without examples, typically by adding a short cue such as "Let's think step by step" to the prompt.

Zero-shot chain-of-thought sits in the Prompting & context part of the Agentik {OS} glossary, which defines the words used to build and run AI agent systems.

Also called let's think step by step.
