Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00044 | $0.00622 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00311 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
cortex scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Rules
- Do not implement across modules without reading the relevant sub-skill.
- MCP handlers live in

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.

cortex is a skill published in the GitHub repository synpulse8-opensource/pulse8-ai-cortex-knowledge-vault (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 622 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
llm-wiki-query
Answer operator questions using the LLM Wiki as the primary source of truth, and optionally file reusable syntheses back into the wiki. Use whenever the operator asks a question about wiki content, queries the knowledge base, requests a synthesis across sources, or wants an answer based on what has been ingested.
wiki-write
Add or update wiki content — autonomous ingest from URL, file, or text; autonomous update of existing pages. Auto-creates .wiki/ on first use. Use when: 'save to wiki', 'remember this', 'note this', 'store this', 'add to knowledge base', 'save findings', 'save research', 'save idea', 'write to wiki', 'ingest', 'add…
wiki-view
Wiki dashboard — browse pages, view stats, knowledge graph, export. Use on: 'wiki dashboard', 'wiki stats', 'show wiki', 'wiki pages', 'list wiki', 'wiki graph', 'export wiki', 'wiki overview'.
dory-wake
Use Dory wake once at the start of a new agent session, after context compaction, or at a real task switch to load bounded hot context with the right profile before substantive work.
dory-search
Search Dory memory before factual claims about people, projects, decisions, dates, prior sessions, or cleanup markers; follow search results with exact gets.
dory-write
Safely write durable Dory memory through semantic or exact-path write surfaces using dry-run, inbox, canonical-write, and purge guards.
