Plugin Capabilities
Working Memory
Provides a structured working memory buffer for agents, supporting push/pop/query operations with capacity limits and priority-based eviction.
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.working-memory \
--action store --key "current-context" --value "refactoring auth module" \
--ttl 300
Attention Control
Directs agent focus to relevant portions of large contexts, reducing token waste and improving response quality on long documents or codebases.
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.attention \
--input context.json --focus "security vulnerabilities" --max-tokens 4000
Meta-Cognition
Self-reflective monitoring layer that tracks confidence levels, detects reasoning loops, and flags when an agent should escalate or seek help.
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.meta-cognition \
--agent-id agent-1 --check confidence
Scaffolding
Breaks complex cognitive tasks into structured sub-steps with checkpoints, enabling systematic reasoning through difficult problems.
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.scaffold \
--task "Design microservice architecture" --depth 3 --checkpoints true
Common Patterns
Enhance Agent Reasoning on Complex Tasks
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest plugins toggle --enable cognitive-kernel
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.scaffold \
--task "Migrate monolith to microservices" --depth 4
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.attention \
--input codebase-summary.json --focus "service boundaries"
Monitor Agent Confidence and Escalate
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.meta-cognition \
--agent-id agent-1 --check confidence --threshold 0.7 --on-low escalate
Manage Working Memory Across Sessions
# Store context before session end
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.working-memory \
--action store --key "progress" --value '{"step": 3, "findings": [...]}'
# Retrieve on session restore
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest mcp exec cognitive-kernel.working-memory \
--action retrieve --key "progress"
