reasoning-strategy-selection SKILL.md skillA
reasoning-strategy-selection from tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/reasoning-strategy-selection@v2.0Pins v2.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Select and configure the right reasoning strategy, native FC behavior, and output quality pipeline for any task type.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Reasoning Strategy Selection
## Agent objective
Produce a `.withReasoning()` call with the correct strategy, iteration budget, and tool gates for the task — with output quality pipeline active when format matters.
## When to load this skill
- Before configuring `.withReasoning()` for any non-trivial agent
- When the task has specific quality, format, or tool-use requirements
- When choosing between strategies for cost vs. capability tradeoffs
## Implementation baseline
```ts
// Default — adaptive works for most unknown workloads
const agent = await ReactiveAgents.create()
.withProvider("anthropic")
.withReasoning({
defaultStrategy: "adaptive",
maxIterations: 12,
})
.withTools()
.withVerification() // runtime output quality check
.withCostTracking({ perRequest: 0.30 })
.build();
```
## Strategy selection guide
| Task type | Strategy | Why |
|-----------|----------|-----|
| Simple Q&A, classification, extraction | `"reactive"` | Single-pass, minimal tokens |
| Multi-step with knowable plan upfront | `"plan-execute-reflect"` | Structured decomposition + reflection |

How to install
mdr add tylerjrbuell/reactive-agents-ts/reasoning-strategy-selection@sha256:d22338d1405b7048The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
