bdi-mental-states
This skill should be used when modeling agent mental states with BDI concepts: beliefs, desires, intentions, RDF-to-belief transformations, rational agency traces, cognitive agents, BDI ontologies, and neuro-symbolic AI integration.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# BDI Mental State Modeling Transform external RDF context into agent mental states (beliefs, desires, intentions) using formal BDI ontology patterns. This skill enables agents to reason about context through cognitive architecture, supporting deliberative reasoning, explainability, and semantic interoperability within multi-agent systems. ## When to Activate Activate this skill when: - Processing external RDF context into agent beliefs about world states - Modeling rational agency with perception, deliberation, and action cycles - Enabling explainability through traceable reasoning chains - Implementing BDI frameworks (SEMAS, JADE, JADEX) - Augmenting LLMs with formal cognitive structures (Logic Augmented Generation) - Coordinating mental states across multi-agent platforms - Tracking temporal evolution of beliefs, desires, and intentions - Linking motivational states to action plans Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills: - General context-window explanations or attention mechanics: `context-fundamentals`. - Persistent user, entity, or conversation memory without formal BDI state: `memory-systems`. - Supervisor, swarm, or handoff topology decisions: `m

What does the bdi-mental-states skill do?
This skill should be used when modeling agent mental states with BDI concepts: beliefs, desires, intentions, RDF-to-belief transformations, rational agency traces, cognitive agents, BDI ontologies, and neuro-symbolic AI integration.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add guanyang/open-agent-hub --skill bdi-mental-states --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From guanyang/open-agent-hub, a repository with 940 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
