cortex-explore-memory — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited cortex-explore-memory (Agent Skill) and scored it 82/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

memory stats, diagnostics, coverage, gaps, what am I missing, memory health, knowledge gaps, weak areas, isolated entities, sparse domains, how much do I know, memory overview, system status, knowledge assessment
Understand the state of your memory system — what's stored, what's missing, what's decaying, and where knowledge is strong or weak. This skill combines multiple diagnostic tools to give you a complete picture.
Use this skill when: Starting a new project phase, after a long break, or when you want to understand what Cortex knows and doesn't know about a topic.
Get system-level diagnostics:
cortex:memory_stats({})Returns: total memories, heat distribution, store type breakdown (episodic vs semantic), entity count, relationship count, average confidence, and decay statistics.
Score how well a topic or project is covered:
cortex:assess_coverage({
"domain": "<project or topic>",
"query": "<specific area to assess>"
})Returns a 0-100 coverage score with specific recommendations on what to document or remember next.
Find isolated entities, sparse domains, and temporal drift:
cortex:detect_gaps({
"domain": "<optional domain filter>"
})Returns:
Check if memories reference files/paths that still exist:
cortex:validate_memory({
"directory": "<project root>"
})Flags stale memories that reference deleted files, moved modules, or renamed functions — keeping the knowledge base accurate.
Get a narrative summary of what's stored:
cortex:narrative({
"domain": "<project>",
"style": "diagnostic"
})Or get a period-based project story:
cortex:get_project_story({
"domain": "<project>",
"period": "last_30_days"
})cortex:backfill_memories, run diagnostics to see what was captured and what's still missingvalidate_memory after major refactors to catch stale references~30 seconds. Free. No account. Every finding cites a rule and a line of evidence.
