Cortex Skills Loop
Overview
The cortex CLI includes an AI-powered recommendation engine that learns from usage patterns. This skill establishes the workflow for participating in that learning loop: get recommendations when context shifts, provide feedback on recommendation quality, and rate skills after use. Each interaction improves future recommendations.
When to Engage
Signals That Trigger Recommendations
Run cortex skills recommend when any of these mismatch signals appear:
- File pattern shift —
git diffor the working set includes file types not covered by active skills (e.g.,.tfTerraform files appear but no infrastructure skill is active, or**/auth/**paths get touched without security skills loaded) - Agent activation change — a new agent gets activated that likely has complementary skills
