cortex-profile from cdeust/cortex is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add cdeust/cortex/cortex-profile@git:20261104.0e11217Pins git:20261104.0e11217 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

View and manage your cognitive profile — how you think, work patterns, blind spots, and cross-domain connections. Use when the user says 'show my profile', 'how do I work', 'what are my patterns', 'cognitive style', 'blind spots', 'methodology', or at the start of a session to load context. Also use 'rebuild profile' to rescan all session history, or 'list domains' to see all tracked project domains.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Profile — Cognitive Profiling and Methodology
## Keywords
profile, methodology, cognitive style, work patterns, blind spots, how do I work, thinking style, domains, rebuild profile, my patterns, session history, cognitive, behavioral, persona
## Overview
Cortex builds a cognitive profile from your Claude Code session history — how you explore code, which tools you prefer, what patterns you repeat, where you have blind spots, and how your style connects across different project domains. This profile is used to calibrate responses and surface relevant context.
**Use this skill when:** Starting a session (auto-injected via hook), wanting to understand your work patterns, or needing to rebuild profiles after significant new work.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Load Current Profile
```
cortex:query_methodology({
"cwd": "<current working directory>",
"first_message": "<what the user is working on>"
})
```
Returns:
- **Cognitive style** — Felder-Silverman dimensions (active/reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal, sequential/global)
- **Entry patterns** — How you typically start work in this domain
- **Recurring patterns** — Behavioral patterns that repeat across sessions

How to install
mdr add cdeust/cortex/cortex-profile@sha256:52c30ac708e667d1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.0e11217, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
