Strengthening Human-Centric Chain-of-Thought Reasoning Integrity in LLMs via a Structured Prompt Framework

arXiv:2604.04852v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has been used to enhance the reasoning capability of LLMs. However, its reliability in security-sensitive analytical tasks remains insufficiently examined, particularly under structured human evaluation. Alternative approaches, such as model scaling and fine-tuning can be used to help improve performance. These methods are also often costly, computationally intensive, or difficult to audit. In contrast, prompt eng
