SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires sinapsis, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to complex decision-making by orchestrating 7 cognitive modes and 5 project phases, enabling users to tackle trade-offs, analyze deeply, and evolve strategy effectively.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cognitive Modes: Utilize 7 distinct thinking modes (divergent, verifier, devil's advocate, consolidator, executor, strategist, auditor) to handle various aspects of problem-solving.
  • Project Phases: Apply these modes across 5 project phases (discovery, planning, execution, review, shipping) for a comprehensive approach.
  • Use Case: When working on a strategic project, use the 'cognito' skill to guide the discussion through different cognitive modes, ensuring a thorough analysis and informed decision-making.

Quick Start

Start the 'cognito' skill to begin a strategic discussion about your project, choosing between 'guiado' (guided) or 'completo' (complete) mode.

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to handle strategic project decision-making and trade-off evaluation?▼

You can guide strategic discussions through 7 distinct cognitive modes—divergent, verifier, devil's advocate, consolidator, executor, strategist, and auditor—applied across 5 project phases to ensure comprehensive analysis and informed decisions.

How do I apply cognitive modes across different project phases?▼

You apply cognitive modes across 5 project phases—discovery, planning, execution, review, and shipping—by triggering them through the execution engine. This orchestrates strategic thinking appropriate to each project stage.

Do I need the Sinapsis engine to run the cognito skill for project planning?▼

Yes, you need the Sinapsis engine for skill execution and cognitive mode triggering. It acts as the required dependency to orchestrate the 7 cognitive modes and manage the 5 strategic project phases.

Can I use guided modes for strategic planning instead of a complete cognitive orchestration?▼

Yes, you can choose between 'guiado' (guided) or 'completo' (complete) modes when starting a strategic discussion. Guided mode directs the cognitive orchestration step-by-step, while complete mode applies all 7 cognitive modes comprehensively.

When should I not use cognitive mode orchestration for project management?▼

Cognitive mode orchestration is not suited for simple, linear tasks that lack deep analysis or trade-off evaluation requirements. It is designed specifically for complex strategic projects requiring phased execution and multifaceted problem-solving.
