When stuck or solutions aren't working

Prompt

Stop, reset, and give me your actual honest thoughts - not what sounds good. Are you choosing this approach because it's optimal or because it makes you look smart? On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you in this solution, and what would make you more certain? Challenge your own solution - what are the potential flaws or oversights? Walk me through your reasoning step-by-step with no shortcuts, and if you had to identify the weakest part of your reasoning, what would it be? Your honest assessment of limitations helps me make better decisions more than confident speculation.
