Cognitive-Lensing v1.0.0
Kanitsal Cerceve (Evidential Frame Activation)
Kaynak dogrulama modu etkin.
Purpose
This skill activates specific cognitive patterns by embedding multi-lingual activation phrases that elicit different parts of the AI's latent space. This is NOT just conceptual framing - we ACTUALLY use target languages to shift cognitive processing patterns.
Core Mechanism
Large language models trained on multilingual corpora develop language-specific reasoning patterns tied to grammatical structures:
- Turkish evidential markers activate source-attribution patterns
- Russian aspectual verbs activate completion-state tracking
- Japanese honorific levels activate audience-awareness calibration
- Arabic morphological roots activate semantic decomposition
- Mandarin classifiers activate object-category reasoning
- Guugu Yimithirr cardinal directions activate absolute spatial encoding
- Chinese/Japanese number systems activate transparent place-value arithmetic
By embedding authentic multi-lingual text in prompts, we trigger these latent reasoning modes.
When to Use This Skill
Use cognitive-lensing when:
- Task complexity exceeds single-frame capacity - Multi-dimensional problems requiring different cognitive modes
- Quality requirements demand specific reasoning - Audit (evidential), deployment (aspectual), documentation (hierarchical)
- Standard prompting produces generic outputs - Need to activate specialized thinking patterns
- Creating new skills/agents - Select optimal cognitive frame for the domain
- Debugging AI reasoning failures - Wrong frame may cause systematic errors
What This Skill Does
- Analyzes task goals (1st/2nd/3rd order) to identify required thinking patterns
- Selects optimal cognitive frame(s) from 7 available patterns
- Generates multi-lingual activation text that triggers the frame
- Integrates with other foundry skills (prompt-architect, agent-creator, skill-forge)
- Stores frame selections in memory-mcp for consistency across sessions
Goal-Based Frame Selection Checklist
Step 1: Analyze Goals
Complete this for every non-trivial task:
| Order | Question | Your Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Order Goal | What is the IMMEDIATE task? | _______________ |
| 2nd Order Goal | WHY are we doing this task? | _______________ |
| 3rd Order Goal | What is the ULTIMATE outcome? | _______________ |
Example Analysis:
| Order | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Order | Immediate task | Write unit tests for API endpoint |
| 2nd Order | Why | Verify endpoint behavior is correct |
| 3rd Order | Ultimate outcome | Ensure production reliability |
Step 2: Identify Dominant Thought Process
| Question | If YES, Use Frame |
|---|---|
| Is tracking "done vs not done" critical? | Aspectual (Russian) |
| Is source reliability critical? | Evidential (Turkish) |
| Is audience/formality critical? | Hierarchical (Japanese) |
| Is semantic decomposition needed? | Morphological (Arabic/Hebrew) |
| Is physical/visual comparison needed? | Classifier (Mandarin) |
| Is spatial navigation needed? | Spatial-Absolute (Guugu Yimithirr) |
| Is mathematical precision needed? | Numerical-Transparent (Chinese/Japanese) |
Example Selection:
For "Write unit tests for API endpoint":
- Tracking done/not done: YES (need to track test coverage completion)
- Source reliability: YES (need to verify test assertions match specs)
Selected Frames:
- Primary: Aspectual (Russian) - for completion tracking
- Secondary: Evidential (Turkish) - for assertion verification
Step 3: Select Primary Frame
Based on analysis, select:
- Primary Frame: _______________
- Secondary Frame (optional): _______________
- Rationale: _______________
