cortex-profile — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited cortex-profile (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.

Cortex builds a cognitive profile from your Claude Code session history — how you explore code, which tools you prefer, what patterns you repeat, where you have blind spots, and how your style connects across different project domains. This profile is used to calibrate responses and surface relevant context.
Use this skill when: Starting a session (auto-injected via hook), wanting to understand your work patterns, or needing to rebuild profiles after significant new work.
cortex:query_methodology({
"cwd": "<current working directory>",
"first_message": "<what the user is working on>"
})Returns:
Dive deeper into your behavioral profile:
cortex:explore_features({ "mode": "persona" })Returns your 12-dimensional persona vector: exploration depth, tool diversity, session persistence, abstraction level, error recovery, etc.
Other exploration modes:
"mode": "features" — What behavioral dictionary features activate for this domain"mode": "attribution" — How the pipeline traces decisions back to behavioral signals"mode": "crosscoder" — Behavioral patterns that persist across different project domainscortex:list_domains({})Shows all detected project domains with session counts, cognitive style per domain, and last activity timestamps.
When profiles seem stale or after significant new work:
cortex:rebuild_profiles({})Full rescan of ~/.claude/projects/ session history. Rebuilds all domain profiles, re-extracts patterns, re-classifies cognitive styles, and re-learns behavioral features.
Normally automatic via hook, but can be called manually:
cortex:record_session_end({
"domain": "<current domain>",
"summary": "<what was accomplished>"
})Updates profiles incrementally via EMA (Exponential Moving Average) — no full rebuild needed.
cortex:detect_domain classifies the current working directory into a known domain — no manual tagging needed~30 seconds. Free. No account. Every finding cites a rule and a line of evidence.
