How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

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

An agent meta-harness for Claude Code and Codex. Agent = Model + Harness. The model writes; the harness gives it tools, memory, loops, sandboxes, and controls so it can actually work.
