guided-ooda-loop

What problem does it solve?

The Guided OODA Loop provides a universal, phased pattern for structuring complex problem solving with finite context windows. It reduces hallucinations and confusion by guiding users through Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act, and by externalizing progress as artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Phased context management: Load only content relevant to the current phase to maximize context efficiency.
• Artifact-based memory: Persist decisions and progress in structured files to reduce memory load.
• One-question-at-a-time Orient: Prevents cognitive overload and drift.
• Progressive refinement: Each phase builds on prior artifacts with options to iterate.
• Context monitoring: Proactively warn when context usage is high and suggest resuming in a new window.

Quick Start

Create a new ooda-loop workspace (unique-name and timestamp) and begin with Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act, using artifacts to guide transitions and checkpoints.
