Cognitive Task Planning Framework
The central nervous system of Cognotik. It understands high-level goals, formulates intelligent plans, and orchestrates a vast library of tasks to execute complex workflows autonomously.
Core Concepts
Cognitive Modes
Distinct "thinking styles" ranging from linear planning to autonomous, adaptive agents.
Abstract Tasks
A unified interface for specialized tools, from file operations to complex reasoning engines.
Orchestration
Intelligent dependency management and context passing between tasks in a workflow.
Cognitive Modes
The Architect. Analyzes the entire request upfront and generates a comprehensive, sequential plan. It allows for user review and modification before any code runs. Ideal for well-defined tasks where the path to the solution is clear.
The Partner. Operates interactively, executing one step at a time based on the immediate conversation context. It maintains a full history of the session. Perfect for exploratory work, debugging, or when you need to guide the AI closely.
The Strategist. Uses an iterative "Think, Act, Reflect" loop. It maintains a dynamic internal state of goals, facts, and hypotheses, allowing it to adjust its strategy based on task results. Best for ambiguous or evolving problems.
The Manager. Tackles massive goals by recursively decomposing them into sub-goals and concrete tasks. It manages a dependency tree, ensuring prerequisites are met before execution. Essential for complex, multi-component projects.
The Factory. Designed for high-throughput batch operations. It takes a template and a set of variables (like file patterns), generates all combinations, and executes them simultaneously. Ideal for applying changes across a codebase or running parameter sweeps.
The Auditor. Enforces strict methodologies (like TDD) using a state machine with validation steps. It ensures high-quality output by having a 'Referee' agent verify each step before proceeding.
The Operator. Assigns a dedicated AI operator to drive a specific tool continuously. It maintains a deep session context with that tool to achieve a goal through repeated interaction.
The Board. A multi-agent system where a "Council" of personas (e.g., CEO, CTO, QA) collaborates. They nominate tasks, vote on the best course of action, and maintain separate perspectives to ensure balanced decision-making.
The Executor. Loads a predefined plan template from a file, substitutes variables based on user input, and executes the workflow. Ideal for repeatable, standardized processes or sharing successful strategies.
