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
