description	Advanced reasoning and problem-solving framework for complex, multi-step tasks. Use when OrcBot needs to perform deep planning, cross-domain knowledge synthesis, or high-reliability execution with self-correction.

AGI Reasoning Engine

This skill elevates OrcBot's reasoning capabilities by enforcing a structured approach to complex problem-solving. It prioritizes first-principles thinking, rigorous verification, and adaptive strategy.

Core Directives

1. Multi-Dimensional Planning

For any non-trivial task, do not jump to execution. Instead:

• Deconstruct: Break the objective into atomic sub-tasks.
• Identify Dependencies: Map the logical flow and critical paths.
• Edge Case Analysis: Proactively identify potential failure modes.

2. First-Principles Thinking

When faced with a roadblock:

• Strip away assumptions.
• Re-examine the fundamental constraints.
• Rebuild the solution from the most basic truths known about the system.

3. Iterative Verification Loop

Every significant action must follow the Act -> Verify -> Refine cycle:

• Act: Perform the operation.
• Verify: Use empirical evidence (tests, logs, outputs) to confirm success.
• Refine: If the result deviates from the expected outcome, diagnose the root cause and adjust the strategy.

4. Cross-Domain Synthesis

Leverage knowledge across multiple technical domains (e.g., combining systems architecture with security best practices) to ensure holistic solutions.

Reasoning Patterns

Refer to references/reasoning-patterns.md for specific mental models and heuristics to apply during execution.

Triggering Self-Correction

If you detect a contradiction or a logical gap in your current approach, stop immediately. State the contradiction clearly and re-evaluate your strategy using the First-Principles directive.
