Cortex Explore Memory
Skill Verified ActiveExplore the memory system's state, find gaps in knowledge, assess coverage, and get diagnostic information. Use when the user asks 'what does my memory look like', 'show me memory stats', 'what am I missing', 'how good is my knowledge', 'memory health', 'show coverage', 'find gaps', 'what topics are weak', or when you need to understand the state of stored knowledge before a task.
To provide users with deep insights into their LLM's memory system, allowing them to understand knowledge coverage, identify gaps, and diagnose system health before or during complex tasks.
Features
- Explore memory system diagnostics
- Assess knowledge coverage for topics/projects
- Detect knowledge gaps (isolated entities, sparse domains)
- Validate memory against existing file paths
- Generate narrative summaries of memory content
Use Cases
- When starting a new project phase to understand existing knowledge.
- After a long break to re-orient with stored information.
- To diagnose memory health and identify areas needing updates.
- Before undertaking complex tasks to ensure sufficient context is stored.
Non-Goals
- Modifying or directly editing memories (focus is on diagnostics)
- Providing general LLM conversational capabilities
- Managing external project dependencies or build systems

Similar Extensions
Domain Extract
100Extract domain knowledge from existing project sources and generate domain rules. Also handles vault sync and domain listing.
Orchestrate
100Wire Commands, Agents, and Skills together for complex features. Use when building features that need research, planning, and implementation phases.
Memory Management
99AgentDB memory system with HNSW vector search. Provides 150x-12,500x faster pattern retrieval, persistent storage, and semantic search capabilities for learning and knowledge management. Use when: need to store successful patterns, searching for similar solutions, semantic lookup of past work, learning from previous tasks, sharing knowledge between agents, building knowledge base. Skip when: no learning needed, ephemeral one-off tasks, external data sources available, read-only exploration.
Metal
100Extract the conceptual essence of a repository as skills, agents, and teams — the project's roles, procedures, and coordination patterns expressed as agentskills.io-standard definitions. Reads an arbitrary codebase and produces generalized definitions that capture WHAT the project does and WHO operates it, without replicating HOW it does it. Use when onboarding to a new codebase and wanting to understand its conceptual architecture, when bootstrapping an agentic system from an existing project, when studying a project's organizational DNA for cross-pollination, or when creating a skill/agent/team library inspired by a reference implementation.
Lean Ctx
100Context Runtime for AI Agents — 59 MCP tools, 10 read modes, 95+ shell patterns, tree-sitter AST for 18 languages. Compresses LLM context by up to 99%. Use when reading files, running shell commands, searching code, or exploring directories. Auto-installs if not present.
Pathfinder
100Map a codebase into feature-grouped flowcharts, identify duplicated concerns across features, and propose a unified architecture. Use when asked to "find the ideal path," unify duplicated systems, or audit architecture before a refactor. Emits a proposed unified flowchart plus per-system /make-plan prompts.
