s4h-cognition
Entry point for the cognition toolkit. Routes to the right cognition skill based on your situation. Use when you say 'cognition', 'how am I thinking about this', 'why can't I focus', 'what mental model is driving this', 'am I thinking clearly', 'this is too complex to hold in my head', 'what do I actually know here', or want applied cognitive science without knowing which specific tool fits.

# Cognition
Applies cognitive science to understand and improve how thinking itself works — attention, mental models, metacognition, and cognitive load. Diagnoses what kind of cognitive work is needed and routes to the right tool.
## Which tool fits
| You need to... | Tool |
|---|---|
| Understand what is capturing or depleting attention — and how to protect it | cognition-attention |
| Surface and audit the mental models driving perception and decisions | cognition-mental-models |
| Apply thinking-about-thinking to monitor comprehension and calibrate confidence | cognition-metacognition |
| Manage the limits of working memory — chunking, offloading, reducing complexity | cognition-cognitive-load |
