Active maintenance loop for cortex memory. Scans `<config-root>/memory/` for thin / stale / contradictory / orphaned / under-cited / past-due / sparse content, researches the highest-priority gaps via the open web (≥2 sources per claim), and writes findings to `staged/research-drafts/` for user review. Auto-fires when the user says: "what's missing from my memory", "research gaps in my second brain", "fill in what we don't know", "audit my knowledge for holes", "what should we learn more about", "are there contradictions in my memory", "what's stale that I should refresh", "what nodes are weak". Also fires when invoked explicitly via /research-gaps and as optional Step 6 of /end-week (cortex v4.5+). Honors the private-individual privacy rule: only verifiable professional facts surface for person research. Never modifies active memory. All findings stage to a draft for user merge.

research-gaps

See commands/research-gaps.md for the full workflow and references/gap-detection-rules.md for the formal detection rules.

When to fire

Explicit: /research-gaps or any of the trigger phrases above.
Chained: optional Step 6 of /end-week (Run /research-gaps to fill knowledge gaps from the week?).
Scheduled: weekly Saturday morning if the user registered the schedule via core-ops.

What to do

Resolve <config-root> and run the scan per commands/research-gaps.md.
Present the ranked gap list and capture per-gap actions.
Invoke the gap-researcher subagent for gaps the user chose to research.
Surface the draft path and remind the user to run /merge-research-draft next.

What this skill does NOT do

Does not modify active memory. The draft is the only side effect outside staged/skip-logs/research.md.
Does not handle merge. That's /merge-research-draft.
Does not run on schedule without explicit user opt-in.
Does not research private individuals beyond verifiable professional facts.

end-day

BrightWayAI/claude-cortex

End-of-day closing routine. Quick mode by default (v4.6+) — runs cortex auto-commit, reflective prompts, brief pre-stage, memory-index refresh, and close in 30 seconds to 3 minutes. Heavy steps (inbox triage, transcript review, mining of non-transcript sources) only run in `/end-day --full`, or when auto-offered because the day actually had transcripts (≥2) or inbox volume (≥5). Auto-fires on "/end-day", "wrapping up", "calling it a day", "done for today", "end of day", "closing out today". Quick mode is the default for every trigger; the user passes `--full` or accepts the auto-offer prompt to get the full chain. Reflection (Step 4) appends a `## Reflection` section to today's brief markdown — what tomorrow's `/brief` reads — AND to a longitudinal `memory/reflections.md` store (v4.13+). v4.13+ additions (End-Day Routine Improvement Spec): a per-source consent + cost gate (Step 0.7, Today's Brief required & first); Step 2c mines the brief artifact (task/outreach actions → memory write-backs + suppression lear

sync-linked-entities

BrightWayAI/claude-cortex

Natural-language entrypoint for cross-artifact drift detection. Fires when the user has just made a meaningful change to a node (status flip, reframe, engagement wound down) and says "check the linked nodes," "sync linked artifacts," "make sure the related stuff is consistent," or similar. Resolves the source node from recent edit or context, then routes to /sync-linked-entities.

relink-memory

BrightWayAI/claude-cortex

Retroactive wikilink pass over `<config-root>/memory/`. Scans every node file for plain-text mentions of known entities (people / clients / topics / workstreams / companies / domains), proposes converting them to `[[wikilinks]]`, and graduates heavily-mentioned persons into person pages. One-time migration per cortex v4.10+. Idempotent; gated by `memory/.migration-wikilink-relink-done` marker. Run once after upgrading; future memory writes use wikilinks natively per the canonical rule in cortex CLAUDE.md. Auto-fires when the user says: "relink my memory", "fix my wikilinks", "my graph is disconnected", "why isn't my obsidian graph showing edges", "back-fill the wikilinks", "graduate the people in my memory". Use `--rerun` to force re-scan after marker exists. Cost: 1-3 min for ~30 nodes. Token cost ~$0.10-0.50 per run.

start-workstream

BrightWayAI/claude-cortex

Create a new workstream node — cortex's primitive for ongoing initiative pipelines that span multiple projects, people, and topics. Walks a short interview (name, current state, pinned context, linked entities) and writes `<config-root>/memory/workstream/<slug>.md`. Auto-fires when the user says: "start a workstream", "begin tracking X as a workstream", "I'm starting a new initiative — X", "I'm working on a new initiative", "set up a workstream for X". Differentiation: - Project nodes (`client/<slug>`) capture a specific engagement. - Person pages capture a relationship. - Topic nodes capture a subject area. - Domain nodes capture a persistent area of work. - Workstreams capture an ongoing *initiative pipeline* with current state, pinned context, open loops, and linked entities — spans projects/people/topics. New in cortex v4.9.0. See `references/workstream-schema.md` for the full schema.

indexer

BrightWayAI/claude-cortex

Regenerate `<config-root>/memory/index.md` — a deterministic, zero-LLM catalog of every memory node grouped by type with decay-state flags. Auto-fires in THREE scenarios: 1. CHAIN STEP: invoked as Step 6 of `/end-day` and as the final step of `/cleanup`. Runs after user-gated changes are committed so the index reflects current state. 2. DEFERRED: when `/remember` writes a new entry, it appends a line to `<config-root>/memory/staged/queues/reindex`. The next `/end-day` or `/cleanup` notices the queue and runs the indexer. 3. EXPLICIT: user runs `/reindex`, or says "regenerate the memory index", "rebuild the catalog", "refresh memory/index.md". This skill has zero LLM cost in steady state. It is a file-walk + string-extract + write. No reasoning, no synthesis — see references/memory-index.md for the deterministic spec.

listen

BrightWayAI/claude-cortex

Nightly autonomous ingest pipeline. Pulls yesterday's calendar / Gmail / Slack / transcripts / Drive activity into `<config-root>/archive/YYYY-MM-DD/` (immutable substrate), runs the mining agents against the archive, stages all proposed memory commits to `staged/commit-drafts/YYYY-MM-DD.md`, and refreshes `memory/hot.md`. Designed for unattended scheduled execution — no user gates. Auto-fires when the user says: "ingest yesterday", "run nightly ingest", "what happened yesterday I haven't captured", "mine yesterday's calendar", "process yesterday's transcripts". Most users register it on a schedule (11pm or 5am) via core-ops `/register-schedules` and never invoke it by hand. Pair with `/morning` for the interactive review-and-merge of the staged draft.
