cortex
Cortex - Session Orchestration & Universal Logging
Cortex is an automatic memory system that traces all work across sessions and enables skills to communicate with each other.
What Cortex Provides
- Automatic session tracing - Tracks all file changes, git operations, and major events
- Agent handoffs - Seamless context transfer between sessions
- Inter-skill communication - Python API for skills to share data and patterns
- Pattern detection - Analyzes work patterns to recommend new skills (via Synapse)
Core Files Generated
Cortex automatically maintains three files in your project root:
.cortex_log.md- Human-readable session history with detailed narrative.cortex_status.json- Machine-readable current state and metrics.cortex_handoff.md- Quick start guide for next session

synapse
Pattern detection and automatic skill recommendation system. Activates when analyzing Cortex memory files, detecting recurring work patterns, or determining if new skills are needed. Analyzes .cortex_log.md, PRD files, and task lists to identify patterns (API calls, testing, deployment, etc.) appearing 5+ times. Generates Synapse_RECOMMENDATIONS.md with prioritized skill suggestions. Use when optimizing workflows or identifying automation opportunities.
2forge
Claude Code skill creation and validation toolkit. Activates when creating new skills, validating skill structure, or packaging skills for distribution. Provides templates, validation scripts (quick_validate.py), initialization tools (init_skill.py), and packaging utilities (package_skill.py). Use when building custom skills with SKILL.md, scripts, references, or assets. Enforces progressive disclosure (<500 lines), proper YAML frontmatter, and hyphen-case naming.
1mcp-provider
Discovers, validates, and integrates Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools into Claude Code skills. Searches MCP catalogs, scores candidates, generates tool configurations, and optionally sets up Docker runtimes. Use when creating skills that need external MCP tool integration.
