Overview
# Claude Cognitive Reasoning Framework
A comprehensive cognitive architecture for AI agents, featuring 9 reasoning patterns, a meta-orchestrator, and production-ready agent implementations. This framework moves beyond "prompt engineering" into "cognitive architecture" — ensuring agents don't use a hammer for a screw.

Version: 3.0

Features
- 9 Core Reasoning Patterns - Specialized methodologies for different problem types
- IR-v2 Meta-Orchestrator - Automatic pattern selection using 11-dimension scoring
- 17 Production Agents - Ready-to-use agent implementations with ChromaDB memory
- 10 Skill Frameworks - Domain-specific capabilities (security, git, documentation, etc.)
- Parallel Execution - Run multiple patterns simultaneously for 2-4x speedup
- Handover Protocol - State persistence across multi-pattern reasoning chains
- Self-Improving Architecture - Agents learn and improve via ChromaDB memory
- Memory Consolidation - "Sleep-like" periodic consolidation for cross-agent learning
- Autonomous Orchestration - Auto-invoke skills/agents based on task patterns with hooks

Quick Start
One-Line Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/kimasplund/claude_cognitive_reasoning.git && cd claude_cognitive_reasoning && ./scripts/install.sh
```
Manual Installation
Clone the repository and copy files to your Claude Code configuration directory:
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/kimasplund/claude_cognitive_reasoning.git
cd claude_cognitive_reasoning
# Or use the install script
./scripts/install.sh # Full installation
./scripts/install.sh --skills # Skills only
./scripts/install.sh --agents # Agents only
# Manual: Install cognitive skills (personal - available in all projects)
cp -r cognitive-skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
# Install agents
cp agent-examples/*.md ~/.claude/agents/
# Install skill frameworks
cp -r skill-frameworks/* ~/.claude/skills/
# Install commands
mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands
cp commands/*.md ~/.claude/commands/
# Copy the CLAUDE.md quick reference (optional - for project-level)
cp CLAUDE.md ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
```
Verify Installation
```bash
# Check skills are installed
ls ~/.claude/skills/
# You should see directories like:
# integrated-reasoning-v2/
# tree-of-thoughts/
# adversarial-reasoning/
# ...
# Check agents are installed
ls ~/.claude/agents/
# You should see files like:
# ceo-orchestrator.md
# architect-agent.md
# security-agent.md
# ...
```
Start Using
Skills activate automatically when Claude detects a matching problem type. You can also invoke them manually:
```bash
# In Claude Code CLI, skills are available as slash commands
/integrated-reasoning-v2 # Meta-orchestrator for complex problems
/tree-of-thoughts # Systematic solution exploration
/adversarial-reasoning # Security validation and stress-testing
# Agents are available via the Task tool
# Claude will automatically use appropriate agents based on context
```
