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

Questions about cognitive-pattern.
- Which coding agents can use cognitive-pattern?
- cognitive-pattern installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
