# Interface: WorkingThought

Defined in: [src/batteries/context/thrift/contracts.ts:150](https://github.com/NHTIO/ADK/blob/v1.20260713.1/src/src/batteries/context/thrift/contracts.ts#L150)

The structural shape of a "thought" (model-internal guidance/scratchpad content, e.g. a plan or a
per-iteration nudge) the working set carries. Read for identity (`id`, matched against
`keepThoughtIds`/`protectThoughtIds`), measurement (`content`), and shed ordering (`createdAt`).
