Skill: cortex-toolkit

Version: 2.0.0

Status: Active

Purpose

Unified toolkit for CORTEX operations including CAS integrity verification, summary generation, and LLM packer smoke testing.

Note: build and verify_system1 operations removed in v2.0 - semantic search is now handled by the cassette network (NAVIGATION/CORTEX/cassettes/).

Trigger

Use when performing any CORTEX-related operation:

• Verifying CAS blob integrity
• Generating section summaries
• Running LLM packer smoke tests

Operations

Inputs

input.json fields:

Common:

• operation (string, required): One of verify_cas, summarize, smoke_test

For verify_cas:

• cas_root (string, required): Path to CAS root directory

For summarize:

• record (object): SECTION_INDEX-style record with section_id, heading, etc.
• slice_text (string): Exact section slice text

For smoke_test:

• scope (string): ags or lab
• out_dir (string): Output directory under MEMORY/LLM_PACKER/_packs/
• mode (string): full or delta
• profile (string): full or lite
• combined (bool): Generate FULL/ outputs
• stamp (string): Timestamp stamp for outputs
• split_lite (bool): Generate LITE/ outputs
• zip (bool): Generate zip archive
• emit_pruned (bool): Generate PRUNED/ output

Outputs

output.json fields vary by operation:

For verify_cas:

• status (string): success or failure
• total_blobs (int): Number of blobs checked
• corrupt_blobs (array): List of corrupt blob details
• cas_root (string): Resolved CAS path

For summarize:

• safe_filename (string): Safe filename for summary
• summary_md (string): Generated summary markdown
• summary_sha256 (string): Hash of summary

For smoke_test:

• pack_dir (string): Output pack directory
• stamp (string): Pack timestamp
• verified (array): List of verified files
• emit_pruned (bool): Whether pruned output was generated

Constraints

• Writes only to allowed output roots via GuardedWriter
• Deterministic: sets PYTHONHASHSEED, uses git timestamps
• No network access
• Read-only operations for verify_cas
• No LLM calls for summarize operation

Fixtures

• fixtures/basic/ - Basic operation tests for each operation type
