I noticed some examples from anthropic's golden-gate-claude paper had responses starting with <scratchpad> for the inverse effect. Suppressing the output to the end of the paragraph would be an easy post processing operation. It's probably better to have implicitly closed tags rather than requiring a close tag. It would be quite easy for a LLM to miss a close tag and be off in a dreamland. Possibly addressing comments to the user or itself might allow for considering multiple streams of thought simultaneously. IRC logs would be decent training data for it to figure out many voice multi-conversations (maybe)
