Use when finalizing any code review, pull request, or completed change - runs the Cortex review gates so policy rules and pattern evidence are checked before sign-off

Use when planning a refactor, changing shared code, or making any modification whose blast radius is unclear - maps affected entities and traversal paths with Cortex before the first edit

Use when exploring how something works in this repository, locating an implementation, or answering "how/where does X" questions - retrieves cited Cortex context instead of grepping blindly or answering from memory

Use when starting any conversation or answering any question about code in this repository - establishes that Cortex context must be consulted before answering, and dispatches to the right Cortex skill for research, impact, and review tasks
