# OODA Loop ## Overview The OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act), developed by military strategist Colonel John Boyd, is a framework for rapid decision-making in dynamic, competitive, or time-sensitive situations. The key insight: speed through the loop creates advantage. In competitive scenarios, operating faster than your opponent disrupts their decision-making. **Core Principle:** Agility beats perfection. Cycle through OODA faster than the situation changes (or faster than your opponent). ## When to Use - Incident response and outages - Competitive market situations - Time-sensitive decisions - Rapidly changing requirements - Crisis management - Debugging under pressure - Any situation requiring quick adaptation Decision flow: ``` Situation changing rapidly? → yes → Need quick decisions? → yes → APPLY OODA LOOP ↘ no → Standard analysis ↘ no → Deliberate analysis may be better ``` ## The Four Phases ### 1. OBSERVE **Gather information rapidly** What to observe: - Current state of the system/situation - Changes since last observation - External factors and environment - Feedback from previous actions - Competitor/opponent movements ``` Incident Example: - Error rates: Spiking

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill thinking-ooda --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
