OODA

Route any decision or action through John Boyd's real OODA loop — Observe, Orient (the schwerpunkt), Decide, Act, loop fast. Not a 4-box speed circle.

OODA (Col. John Boyd) is a theory of winning through faster, better adaptation. This plugin runs the real loop at the moment you decide, act, or iterate — not the popular four-box speed circle. Orient dominates, and tempo is unpredictable rhythm, not raw haste.

Install

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add 88plug/claude-code-plugins
/plugin install ooda@88plug

Grok Build

grok plugin marketplace add 88plug/claude-code-plugins
grok plugin install ooda@88plug --trust

The hooks and the bundled ooda skill load automatically from the manifest. install.sh is a no-op.

The loop

Phase	Boyd's meaning	Do
Observe	intake unfolding circumstances; your prior acts changed the field	measure, don't assume
Orient	the schwerpunkt — 5 inputs + destruction/creation	reframe against stale models (highest-leverage)
Decide	"Decision (Hypothesis)"	pick one lever, as a hypothesis
Act	"Action (Test)"	ship a test, re-observe

Two implicit-guidance arrows run Orient→Observe and Orient→Act, bypassing Decide — the trained-operator fast path.

What it does

Hook	Event	What it does
prime.sh	SessionStart	Sets the OODA posture once per session
nudge.sh	UserPromptSubmit	Fires only on a decision/action/iteration turn; silent on mechanical requests

The full loop, the Orient schwerpunkt, tempo-not-speed, and the anti-patterns are in the bundled ooda skill.
