hermes-cortex

Use when bootstrapping, auditing, or repairing a Cortex/Obsidian vault: folder layout, note types, frontmatter, naming, promotion rules, seed hygiene, and post-write maintenance.

Use when debugging Hermes/Cortex memory retrieval: hook bootstrap state, semantic-vs-legacy context config, vault_search false negatives, session_search latency, source attribution drift, or Cortex index/embed CLI failures.

Use when retrieving, attributing, or writing durable memory with Cortex/Vault. Hotpath rules for lookup order, source attribution, memory-vs-vault routing, and post-write index/embed workflow.

Read, search, and create notes in the Obsidian vault — conventions, frontmatter, wikilinks, folder routing, and proactive writing.

Use when a Kanban worker has Cortex tools available and needs to retrieve, apply, and cite Vault knowledge while executing a task. Covers vault_search, vault_read_note, and vault_build_context workflows for task context, research, and completion summaries.
