Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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

Define and manage cognitive patterns for agent reasoning and decision-making
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill cognitive-pattern --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 ruvnet/ruflo, a repository with 67,015 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.
