What Cognition Attention does

Cognition Attention maps what captures attention, what depletes it, and how to protect it. Use it when focus keeps getting pulled away or when designing environments and workflows that need to preserve cognitive bandwidth.

Cognition Attention is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Cognition Attention comes from a repository tagged claude-code, claude-code-plugin, cognitive-frameworks, creativity and decision-making.

README

Excerpt

Cognition: Attention

Attention is the scarcest cognitive resource — and unlike memory or reasoning, it cannot be trained to be unlimited. It can only be allocated, protected, and defended. Most focus problems are not character failures; they are design failures. The environment, the workflow, or the communication system is structured in a way that systematically fragments attention and prevents sustained engagement with what matters most.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
