Extended Reasoning for Diagnostic Support

Enhance your 'Symptom Analysis' agent (powered by Claude Opus 4.1) to employ extended thinking. When processing a patient case (e.g., symptoms: 'chest pain, shortness of breath', EHR indicates 'hypertension'), instruct the agent to first decompose the problem into 'cardiac risk assessment' and 'pulmonary risk assessment'. Then, perform RAG against a simulated medical guideline database (simple dictionary or text file) for each decomposition to generate a differential diagnosis and justify its recommendations. Emphasize adaptive reasoning for high-risk symptoms.
