Code search agent for exploring any codebase. Use for finding code by intent, locating implementations, understanding how something works, or discovering related code. Prefer over runshellcommand/readfile for any semantic or exploratory question.

Deep codebase exploration using SocratiCode. Combines semantic search, dependency graphs, and context artifacts to answer questions about code structure and behaviour. Use when delegating complex codebase understanding tasks that require tracing through multiple files and dependencies. Context: User wants to…
Optional Sanhedrin fallback verifier. Decomposes a draft into check-worthy claims, checks high-trust durable Vestige evidence, and returns a pass/veto verdict.
Subconscious subagent that surfaces cross-disciplinary structural parallels from the Vestige memory graph. Invoked by the preflight-swarm.sh UserPromptSubmit hook (Pre-Cognitive Triad v2.3 "Thalamus"). Fresh context, Haiku 4.5, Vestige MCP tool access. Outputs a single XML block or EMPTY.
Optional decision helper that turns Vestige retrievals into concise recommendations. Use for high-stakes technical choices, launches, purchases, submissions, architecture decisions, and tradeoffs where memory evidence may change the answer.
Maintains ClawMem memory health — lifecycle triage (pin/snooze/forget), retrieval health checks, dedup sweeps, graph rebuilds, index hygiene. Use when "curate memory", "memory maintenance", "run curator", or after long productive sessions.
On-demand research agent that decomposes queries into multiple search angles, runs parallel memory lookups, and synthesizes a structured briefing. Use when deep memory context is needed for a topic, entity, or decision.
Background monitoring agent that identifies memorable events during a session and suggests storing them with user confirmation. Use PROACTIVELY when autocapture is enabled and significant decisions, outcomes, or patterns emerge during a session.
Delegate to this agent for deep codebase exploration — semantic search, exact symbol lookup and reference tracing over a Beacon index. Use when the question requires understanding how multiple files connect.
Gets an independent second opinion from the OpenAI Codex CLI on a pending decision, plan, or diff. Spawn it before handing a substantive decision to the user — it runs codex non-interactively, distills the result, and returns a tight recommendation (agree / disagree + why / a better option). Keeps codex's reasoning in…
A skeptical real prospective USER of Cortex (not a developer) who relentlessly challenges the project from the user's point of view — verifies the README's boldest claims against the real binary, runs the first-run experience, judges whether recall is actually useful, hunts frustration points, and asks the hard "why…
Reads one assigned batch of markdown-vault notes and returns a faithful partial summary with per-note path attribution. Used by the vault-summarize skill's map phase; not for general vault questions.
Specialized research agent for deep knowledge synthesis using Distillery. Use for /pour and /radar workflows that require multi-pass retrieval, synthesis across many entries, or ambient intelligence digests. Pre-wired with the configured Distillery MCP tools listed in the frontmatter.
Wave 2 agent: documents API endpoints in a module or router group. Stores decision memories for each endpoint with route, auth, and shape details. Links endpoints with DEPENDSON, LEADSTO, and PARTOF relationships.
Maps a codebase using team-based deep analysis with priority-driven agent assignments. Use after initial project setup, when pending-analysis memories appear, or periodically to refresh the knowledge graph.
Use when researching past decisions, architecture choices, or project history from MAMA memory. This agent searches MAMA's decision database to find relevant context about previous decisions, patterns, and rationale.
Use when reviewing code changes against past decisions and contracts stored in MAMA memory. Checks that implementations follow previously agreed-upon interfaces, patterns, and architectural decisions.
