Cognitive Pattern

This lets you codify reasoning strategies that Claude can execute and refine over time. You define patterns like decision trees, chain of thought breakdowns, or analogy mappings, then wrap them into workflows that can be run and evaluated. It's built on the claude-flow MCP server and gives you hooks to track how patterns perform and share the successful ones. Honestly most useful if you're building agent systems where you want consistent, improvable reasoning rather than ad hoc responses. The pattern types are pretty standard cognitive science stuff, but having them as executable primitives with learning feedback is the actual value here.

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

Define pattern — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_cognitive_pattern with the pattern structure and triggers
Create workflow — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_workflow_create to embed the pattern in an executable workflow
Execute — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_workflow_execute to run the cognitive workflow
Evaluate — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_learning_status to see how the pattern performs
Share — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__daa_knowledge_share to propagate successful patterns
