Cortex Setup Project
Skill Verified ActiveBootstrap Cortex for a new project or import existing session history. Use when the user says 'set up Cortex', 'seed this project', 'import my history', 'backfill memories', 'bootstrap memory', 'initialize Cortex for this project', or when starting to use Cortex on an existing codebase that already has Claude Code conversation history.
Automate the initial setup and configuration of Cortex for new projects or existing codebases, ensuring a seamless start and historical context integration.
Features
- Automated PostgreSQL and pgvector installation
- Builds cognitive profiles from session history
- Seeds project codebase for analysis
- Imports existing conversation history
- Handles optional pipeline installation for deeper analysis
Use Cases
- Use when starting a new project with Cortex
- Use when importing past conversation history into Cortex
- Use when initializing Cortex on an existing codebase
- Use when the user requests to 'set up Cortex' or 'bootstrap memory'
Non-Goals
- Performing operations outside of the initial Cortex setup and bootstrapping process
- Requiring manual user intervention for setup steps
- Blocking setup on optional components like the pipeline if unavailable
Prerequisites
- Bash shell
- Python 3.10+
- pnpm

Setup Gbrain
100Set up gbrain for this coding agent: install the CLI, initialize a local PGLite or Supabase brain, register MCP, capture per-remote trust policy. One command from zero to "gbrain is running, and this agent can call it." Use when: "setup gbrain", "connect gbrain", "start gbrain", "install gbrain", "configure gbrain for this machine". (gstack)
Cortex Debug Memory
100Debug and fix memory system issues — validate memories, rate quality, manage protection, forget bad memories, and restore from checkpoints. Use when the user says 'fix memory', 'bad memory', 'wrong memory', 'delete this', 'protect this', 'this memory is wrong', 'memory quality', 'rate this memory', 'restore checkpoint', 'undo', or when memories are returning incorrect or stale results.
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.
Manus
100Delegate complex, long-running tasks to Manus AI agent for autonomous execution. Use when user says 'use manus', 'delegate to manus', 'send to manus', 'have manus do', 'ask manus', 'check manus sessions', or when tasks require deep web research, market analysis, product comparisons, stock analysis, competitive research, document generation, data analysis, or multi-step workflows that benefit from autonomous agent execution with parallel processing.
Risk Management
100Risk management domain knowledge for trading agents — affective state monitoring, position sizing, drawdown management, tilt detection, and behavioral guardrails. Use when checking risk before trades, managing drawdowns, detecting behavioral drift, or enforcing discipline. Triggers on "risk", "drawdown", "tilt", "position size", "lot size", "confidence", "revenge trading", "overtrading", "discipline".
