cognitive-pattern is a Claude Code skill that defines and manages structured reasoning frameworks agents use for decision-making through Ruflo MCP cognitive-pattern tools.
About
cognitive-pattern is a Ruflo skill for codifying reasoning strategies, decision trees, and problem-solving approaches that Claude, Cursor, or Codex agents can reuse and refine. It calls MCP tools such as daa_cognitive_pattern, daa_workflow_create, daa_workflow_execute, and daa_knowledge_share to define patterns, wire workflows, and track learning status. Developers reach for cognitive-pattern when agent outputs are inconsistent and they want explicit, versionable reasoning scaffolds instead of ad-hoc prompts for complex multi-step decisions.
- Applies proven cognitive patterns to agent prompts and workflows
- Reduces hallucination and improves logical consistency across tasks
- Works before any creative or implementation work regardless of domain
- Includes reusable templates for common reasoning patterns
- Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, and generic agent setups

How do you codify agent reasoning patterns in Ruflo?
Apply structured cognitive frameworks that improve reasoning quality when working with Claude, Cursor or Codex.
Who is it for?
Developers configuring Ruflo or Claude-Flow agents who need repeatable reasoning frameworks for complex, multi-step coding decisions.
Skip if: Teams that only need one-off chat prompts without persistent agent workflow configuration or MCP server setup.
When should I use this skill?
User wants to define, version, or execute structured reasoning strategies for coding agents via Ruflo MCP tools.
What you get
Named cognitive patterns, linked agent workflows, and shared knowledge artifacts agents can execute repeatedly.
- Named cognitive patterns
- Linked agent workflows
By the numbers
- Integrates 5 Ruflo MCP tools: daa_cognitive_pattern, daa_workflow_create, daa_workflow_execute, daa_knowledge_share, daa

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__claude-flow__daa_cognitive_pattern with the pattern structure and triggers 2. Create workflow — call mcp__claude-flow__daa_workflow_create to embed the pattern in an executable workflow 3. Execute — call mcp__claude-flow__daa_workflow_execute to run the cognitive workflow 4. Evaluate — call mcp__claude-flow__daa_learning_status to see how the pattern performs 5. Share — call mcp__claude-flow__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

FAQ
What MCP tools does cognitive-pattern use?
The cognitive-pattern skill calls Ruflo MCP tools including daa_cognitive_pattern, daa_workflow_create, daa_workflow_execute, daa_knowledge_share, and daa_learning_status to define and run reasoning strategies.
Which coding agents support cognitive-pattern?
The cognitive-pattern skill targets Claude, Cursor, and Codex agents configured with the Ruflo MCP server, letting teams codify reasoning strategies those agents reuse across sessions.
