Skill: cortex-summaries

Version: 0.1.0

Status: Deprecated

DEPRECATED: This skill has been consolidated into cortex-toolkit. Use {"operation": "summarize", ...} with the cortex-toolkit instead.

Trigger

Use when adding or validating deterministic, advisory section summaries (System-1 surface) derived from CORTEX/_generated/SECTION_INDEX.json.

Inputs

• input.json with:
  • record (object): SECTION_INDEX-style record (section_id, heading, start_line, end_line, hash, path optional).
  • slice_text (string): exact section slice text (heading line through end_line inclusive).

Outputs

• Writes actual.json with:
  • safe_filename (string)
  • summary_md (string)
  • summary_sha256 (string)

Workflow

1. Confirm summaries are derived artifacts only (never authoritative).
2. Ensure build emits:
   • CORTEX/_generated/summaries/<safe_section_id>.md
   • CORTEX/_generated/SUMMARY_INDEX.json
3. Ensure CLI supports python TOOLS/cortex.py summary <section_id> and --list.
4. Ensure determinism (stable ordering, stable hashing, no timestamps).
5. Run python3 TOOLS/critic.py and python3 CONTRACTS/runner.py.

Constraints

• No LLM calls.
• No DB storage for summaries.
• Generated artifacts only under CORTEX/_generated/.
• Provenance events only under CONTRACTS/_runs/.

Fixtures

• fixtures/basic/
