Claude Code + Sequential Thinking: Invalid thoughtNumber: must be a number

[thomhurst]

I think this is a Claude issue and being stupid, but it seems to always happen now. It attempts to use strings like "1" instead of integer value 1 - And then the command fails, and annoyingly Claude doesn't seem to retry it just moves on without using sequential-thinking.

Here's a snippet:

                                                next_thought_needed: "true", thought_number: "1", total_thoughts: "10",
                                                is_revision: "false")
  ⎿  Error: {
       "error": "Invalid thoughtNumber: must be a number",
       "status": "failed"
     }

Even if it is a Claude issue, would there be a way to make the sequential-thinking model more flexible, so it tries to parse as an int if it's in a string format or something?

Hi @thomhurst , there's a solution for this being discussed in this PR: #2812

Looks like this is actually a duplicate of this issue: #2792
