bdi-mental-states SKILL.md skillA

bdi-mental-states from docxology/template is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add docxology/template/bdi-mental-states@git:20260713.397aa15

Pins git:20260713.397aa15 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

This skill should be used when modeling agent mental states with BDI concepts: beliefs, desires, intentions, RDF-to-belief transformations, rational agency traces, cognitive agents, BDI ontologies, and neuro-symbolic AI integration.

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

# BDI Mental State Modeling

Transform external RDF context into agent mental states (beliefs, desires, intentions) using formal BDI ontology patterns. This skill enables agents to reason about context through cognitive architecture, supporting deliberative reasoning, explainability, and semantic interoperability within multi-agent systems.

## When to Activate

Activate this skill when:
- Processing external RDF context into agent beliefs about world states
- Modeling rational agency with perception, deliberation, and action cycles
- Enabling explainability through traceable reasoning chains
- Implementing BDI frameworks (SEMAS, JADE, JADEX)
- Augmenting LLMs with formal cognitive structures (Logic Augmented Generation)
- Coordinating mental states across multi-agent platforms
- Tracking temporal evolution of beliefs, desires, and intentions
- Linking motivational states to action plans

Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills:
- General context-window explanations or attention mechanics: `context-fundamentals`.
- Persistent user, entity, or conversation memory without formal BDI state: `memory-systems`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add docxology/template/bdi-mental-states@sha256:2a68bf11815b166a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.397aa15, 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.
