I would say there are only a smallish number of truly generic "reasoning patterns" (strategies/approaches), but applied reasoning not only requires a reasoning "pattern", but also a repertoire of valid domain-specific reasoning steps that can be applied pursuant to that approach, as well as the combination of capabilities it takes to overcome impasses when you've exhausted your knowledge and learnt reasoning steps and still not got to a solution.

Perhaps in a domain like math a smallish number of math-specific reasoning steps will go a long way, but math itself also has many "sub-domains" (algebra, geometry, calculus, topology, etc) and AFAIK the techniques of one branch are only going to be useful in another to extent you can map the problem from one domain to another.
