Distill raw session records into refined Notes and Projects. Use when the user says "提煉", "整理 raw", "distill", or "distill raw records".
Search and retrieve content from the cortex vault — the user's external memory. Use (1) when the user says "查 cortex", "之前有記過", "cortex 裡有沒有", "check my notes", "what did I write about", AND (2) PROACTIVELY — before answering any non-trivial question about ongoing projects, internal company tooling, cortex-vec, plugin development, NAS debugging, DSM workflows, or any topic that resembles prior work the user might have notes on. When the SessionStart hook lists vault topics and the user's request matches one, search cortex BEFORE asking clarifying questions or guessing. Treat the vault as authoritative prior context: searching it cheaply is always better than reinventing an answer the user already wrote down.
Use when starting any task or answering any non-trivial question in a cortex-enabled session — establishes that the cortex vault is the user's external memory and should be consulted BEFORE guessing, asking clarifying questions, or doing fresh exploration. Trigger unconditionally on conversation start, on every new user request that touches a domain the user has worked on before, and whenever the request mentions an ongoing project, internal company tooling, recurring topic, or anything that smells like prior work. If the SessionStart hook surfaced vault topics and the request matches one — search first.
llm-wiki style broadcast ingest — conversational update of related existing pages when a Raw has been distilled. Use when the user says "broadcast", "跑 broadcast", "compound this into the vault", "merge pending-merge", "process broadcast queue", or when cortex-distill invokes broadcast inline after Step 8 commit (automatic dispatch for every new / pending-merge Raw).
Create or resume a session takeoff baton — a curated, ephemeral, git-ignored hand-off note that lets the next Claude session continue a long-running task. Use when the user says "交接", "takeoff", "交棒", "context 快滿了交接給下個 session", "hand off to next session", "/cortex:takeoff", "takeoff resume", or "takeoff done". The baton is scaffolding, not knowledge: it is never committed, distilled, broadcast, or indexed.
Save knowledge to the cortex vault. Use when the user says "存到 cortex", "記一下", "save to cortex", "記到筆記", "cortex evolve", or when the session-suggest hook recommends saving content. Handles Notes and Projects.
