Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill cognitive-pattern
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads cognitive-pattern automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Cognitive Pattern

Define cognitive patterns that guide agent reasoning and decision-making.

When to use

When you want to codify reasoning strategies, decision trees, or problem-solving approaches that agents can use and improve over time.

Steps

  1. Define pattern — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_cognitive_pattern with the pattern structure and triggers
  2. Create workflow — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_workflow_create to embed the pattern in an executable workflow
  3. Execute — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_workflow_execute to run the cognitive workflow
  4. Evaluate — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_learning_status to see how the pattern performs
  5. Share — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_knowledge_share to propagate successful patterns

Pattern types

  • Decision trees — structured if/then reasoning
  • Chain of thought — step-by-step problem decomposition
  • Analogy mapping — solve new problems by referencing similar solved ones
  • Consensus patterns — multi-perspective evaluation before deciding
