docs: clarify that Claude automatically manages thinking modes

Browse Source 
Updated thinking modes section to emphasize that:
- Claude automatically selects appropriate thinking modes based on task complexity
- Manual override is available but not required in most cases
- Auto-managed mode is recommended for optimal cost/quality balance

## Thinking Modes - Managing Token Costs & Quality
Control Gemini's reasoning depth to balance between response quality and token consumption. Each thinking mode uses a different amount of tokens, directly affecting API costs and response time.

### How to Use Thinking Modes
You can control thinking modes using natural language in your prompts. Remember: higher thinking modes = more tokens = higher cost but better quality:
**Claude automatically selects appropriate thinking modes**, but you can override this by explicitly requesting a specific mode in your prompts. Remember: higher thinking modes = more tokens = higher cost but better quality:
#### Natural Language Examples
| Your Goal | Example Prompt |
|-----------|----------------|
| **Quick task** | "Use gemini to format this code with minimal thinking" |
| **Standard analysis** | "Get gemini to review auth.py" (uses default `medium`) |
| **Deep analysis** | "Use gemini to review this security module with high thinking mode" |
| **Maximum depth** | "Get gemini to think deeper with max thinking about this architecture" |
| **Auto-managed (recommended)** | "Use gemini to review auth.py" (Claude picks appropriate mode) |
| **Override for simple tasks** | "Use gemini to format this code with minimal thinking" |
| **Override for deep analysis** | "Use gemini to review this security module with high thinking mode" |
| **Override for maximum depth** | "Get gemini to think deeper with max thinking about this architecture" |
| **Compare approaches** | "First analyze this with low thinking, then again with high thinking" |
#### Optimizing Token Usage & Costs
**In most cases, let Claude automatically manage thinking modes** for optimal balance of cost and quality. Override manually when you have specific requirements:
**Use lower modes (`minimal`, `low`) to save tokens when:**
- Doing simple formatting or style checks
- Getting quick explanations of basic concepts
