Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00042 | $0.00557 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00223 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00111 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00056 |
Grade C, and why
install scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Cortex Hub — Install
Current Status
!bash -c 'echo "hooks=$(cat .cortex/.hooks-version 2>/dev/null || echo 0)/3 mcp=$(grep -q cortex-hub ~/.claude.json 2>/dev/null && echo ok || echo missing) os=$(uname -s 2>/dev/null || echo Windows)"'
Run
Download via GitHub API (bypasses CDN cache, always latest):
Unix/macOS
curl -fsSL "$(curl -fsSL https://api.github.com/repos/lktiep/cortex-hub/contents/scripts/install.sh?ref=master | grep download_url | cut -d'"' -f4)" -o /tmp/cortex-install.sh && bash /tmp/cortex-install.sh $ARGUMENTS
If the API call fails (rate limited), fallback to raw:
curl -fsSL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lktiep/cortex-hub/master/scripts/install.sh" -o /tmp/cortex-install.sh && bash /tmp/cortex-install.sh $ARGUMENTS
Windows PowerShell
$url = (Invoke-RestMethod "https://api.github.com/repos/lktiep/cortex-hub/contents/scripts/install.ps1?ref=master").download_url; Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile $env:TEMP\install.ps1; & $env:TEMP\install.ps1 $ARGUMENTS
If all else fails
Tell the user to clone the repo and run locally:
git clone <your-cortex-hub-repo-url> ~/Sources/cortex-hub
bash ~/Sources/cortex-hub/scripts/install.sh
After Setup
- Report what was installed/updated/skipped and which IDEs were configured
- If MCP not configured (missing API key), ask user for it:
HUB_API_KEY=<key> bash /tmp/cortex-install.sh
- If MCP was newly configured, remind: restart IDE to pick up changes
- Show quality gate commands from
.cortex/project-profile.json
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

install is a skill published in the GitHub repository lktiep/cortex-hub (93 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 557 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

memory
Persist and retrieve agent memory across sessions — recall via the three-stage protocol (structure route → semantic search → navigation fallback), read via memoryload, see the wiki structure via memorybrowse, write well-placed pages via memorywrite (including section-level append/rewrite), maintain via memorycurate.…
tasks
Manage Prismer workspace tasks across the full Kanban lifecycle — create, list, inspect, update, complete, approve, reject, cancel. Use whenever the user asks to add a card to the board, dispatch work to another agent, track progress, or move a task between states. Executes via the cloud task CLI.

Expert-council meeting protocol. Given a Brief + a persona cast (from persona-generator), propose the council to the Team Manager, and once convened FACILITATE it: each round post a NEW group message that @-mentions the persona-agents by their ASCII usernameSlug, collect their independent replies, stage-summarize…
agent-coordination
