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
