One-shot wrapper for the Sprint-sized integration pattern validated in Sprint 2.44. Drives the full flow - discovery questionnaire → plan artifact → workflow dispatch → empirical phase (if applicable) → triage of R2 findings → doc-regen + commit → status report. Use when N>=5 deliverables, framework-touching, and clear acceptance criteria are possible. Triggers (CZ+EN) "/cortex-sprint", "začni sprint", "spustit sprint", "udělej sprint", "sprint kickoff", "start sprint", "ship sprint X", "new sprint", "kickoff sprint". Composes with prompts/cortex-goal.md (turn budget framing), standards/workflows.md (decision tree), standards/documentation.md (doc-regen step), and the multi-phase workflow dispatch pattern from Sprint 2.44 Probe 3. Adds signed r2-verdict.json artifact (Sprint 2.46) replacing [skip-review] as the primary pre-commit gate. v2 schema (Ed25519 + commit_sha + nonce journal + STRICT_SECRET) shipped Sprint 2.46.1.
Senior front-end designer flow — Phase 0 DS bootstrap from repo, Phase 1 intake (image/sketch/vibe inputs), Phase 1.5 plan gate, Phase 2 library + image-gen MCP, Phase 3 parallel worktree exploration with DS-conformance gate, Phase 4 live dev server iteration, Phase 5 handoff via Stitch DESIGN.md + STYLE.md SSOT split. Opt-in Award mode (`--award`) overrides phases with Awwwards-SOTD discipline from reverse-engineering 25 winners. Auto-invokes proactively when user signals UI/UX intent BEFORE writing markup — natural triggers (CZ+EN): "design this/me a landing/dashboard/hero/signup", "navrhni mi web/landing/dashboard/komponentu", "udělej mi web/stránku", "vytvoř hero/landing/sekci/UI", "potřebuju UI/UX/design", "build me a landing/website/homepage", "make it look premium/playful/brutalist", "redesign this", "redesignuj X", or explicit `/designer`. User doesn't need to know the skill exists — cortex offers it. Add `--award` for portfolio/agency/SOTD-targeted work.
One-screen menu of what cortex-x can do right now — list of invokable slash commands (cortex-init, cortex-help, cortex-doctor, audit, designer, start, test-audit) + operator-facing terminal CLIs (cortex-update, cortex-uninstall, cortex-hooks-register, cortex-claude-md-augment, cortex-doctor), a 1-line summary of what each does, and a count of underlying capabilities (action_kinds, profiles, standards). Auto-discovered after install.{sh,ps1} sync. Invoke as "/cortex-help", "what can cortex do?", or when the user asks "co umíš?" / "jaké jsou skills?" / "ukaž mi capabilities". NOTE: namespaced as cortex-help because /help is reserved as a Claude Code built-in slash command. Defers full machine-readable registry to cortex/capabilities.md.
Read-only audit of an EXISTING codebase for module-depth problems that make it hard for AI agents to work in. Surfaces shallow modules (leaky interfaces, many tiny files exporting internals), zero-test modules, and tightly-coupled clusters, then proposes deepening candidates with coupling rationale + a test-boundary recommendation. Produces a prioritized markdown report — NEVER auto-refactors. Grounded in Ousterhout's A Philosophy of Software Design (deep vs shallow modules) + the principle that test/feedback-loop quality sets the ceiling on AI coding quality (SWE-bench Verified). Use after /audit or /test-audit, before a big AI-assisted refactor, or when agents keep producing low-quality changes in one area. Triggers (CZ+EN) "/improve-codebase-architecture", "improve architecture", "deepen modules", "make this codebase agent-friendly", "why does AI write bad code in this repo", "shallow modules audit", "prohlub moduly", "zlepši architekturu", "proč tu AI píše špatný kód", "najdi shallow moduly".
Scaffolds and runs a Ralph Wiggum loop — Geoff Huntley's "stupid simple while-loop" pattern for autonomous overnight coding sessions. Authors PROMPT.md + fix_plan.md + ralph.sh, gates them through a plan review, then runs `while: cat PROMPT.md | claude -p` in a fresh context window per iteration (defeats compaction + context-rot). Useful for long worklists with clear acceptance criteria (test suite passes, fix_plan items checked off), reverse-engineering, spec-driven refactors, "fix all the failing crons overnight" sweeps. Composes with `/cortex-goal` — Ralph is the third option alongside native `/loop` (interval-based) + `/goal` (haiku-verifier). Inherits cortex-x R1+R2 discipline, cost ceilings, and the operator killswitch file. Triggers (EN+CZ) "/ralph-loop", "/ralph", "ralph wiggum", "run ralph", "spusť ralph", "loop until done", "loop dokud nebude hotovo", "overnight loop", "autonomous overnight", "fix all X until tests pass", "oprav všechny X dokud projdou testy", "vibe-clone".
Initialize cortex-x in the current project — interactively pick mode (New / Existing / Framework-only) via AskUserQuestion, write .cortex-bootstrap-pending marker, chain to /start or /audit. RECOMMENDED entry point after install.sh; replaces shell-level cortex-bootstrap CLI. Auto-discovered from ~/.claude/skills/cortex-init/SKILL.md (user-level), works in any project directory. INVOKE PROACTIVELY when user signals installing or using cortex-x — natural-language triggers EN+CZ are load-bearing, don't wait for explicit slash command. Triggers (EN): "let's start", "set up cortex", "init this project", "I installed cortex", "where is cortex installed", "is cortex set up?", "does cortex work?", "/cortex-init". Triggers (CZ): "začni", "nastav cortex", "nainstaloval jsem cortex", "kde je cortex", "je cortex nainstalovaný", "funguje cortex?", "spusť cortex".
Generates bilingual (CZ + EN) UX + conversion copy — runs a structured voice intake, picks the right framework (PAS / AIDA / JTBD / SB7 / Wiebe / Dunford / FAB / BAB), produces hero copy / landing-page sequences / CTAs / microcopy / error messages / onboarding / empty states with hard length budgets, AI-slop blocklist, and CZ-localization linting (tykání-vykání tree, EN→CZ +30% expansion, Smazat/Vymazat/Submit traps, Mozilla CZ typography). Auto-invokes on copy intent — triggers (CZ+EN) "napiš mi text/headline/hero/slogany", "potřebuju copy", "přepiš tlačítka", "lokalizuj UI do CZ", "write copy for", "draft a landing page", "rewrite my hero", "fix my microcopy", or explicit `/copywriter` / `/ux-copywriter`. Grounded in May 2026 research across conversion frameworks, content-design canon (Microsoft / GOV.UK / Apple / Material / Mailchimp / Atlassian / Shopify / Carbon), Podmajersky Voice Chart, and Mozilla CZ Style Guide.
External tool capability adapter for Hyperframes (HTML → video, agent-native). Sprint 3.4 v0 ships the SKILL.md frontmatter contract + license-tier gate; Sprint 3.4 v1 wires the executor + Docker sandbox + first end-to-end render. Apache-2.0 OSS; no per-render fees; deterministic ("same input = identical output"). Operator invokes via "/external-adapter-hyperframes" or natural-language equivalent ("render the landing as a 30-second hero video"). Auto-discovered after install.{sh,ps1} sync.
