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.
