cortex-automate SKILL.md skillA
cortex-automate 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-automate@git:20260327.890ae58Pins git:20260327.890ae58 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Set up automation — prospective memory triggers, neuro-symbolic rules, and CLAUDE.md sync. Use when the user says 'remind me when', 'trigger when', 'create a rule', 'auto-remember', 'sync to CLAUDE.md', 'push insights', 'set up trigger', 'when I open this file', 'when this keyword appears', or when you want to automate memory behavior based on conditions.
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
# Automate — Triggers, Rules, and Sync
## Keywords
trigger, rule, automate, remind me when, auto-remember, sync instructions, push to CLAUDE.md, prospective memory, keyword trigger, file trigger, domain trigger, time trigger, filter rule, boost rule
## Overview
Set up proactive automation in Cortex — triggers that fire when conditions are met (like opening a specific file or entering a domain), rules that filter or boost memories during recall, and syncing top insights back into CLAUDE.md for persistent project instructions.
**Use this skill when:** You want Cortex to proactively surface information based on context, filter out noise during recall, or keep CLAUDE.md updated with memory-derived insights.
## Workflow
### Triggers — Proactive Memory Recall
Create triggers that fire automatically when conditions match:
**Keyword trigger** — fires when a query/context contains specific words:
```
cortex:create_trigger({
"type": "keyword",
"pattern": "authentication",
"memory_id": <id>,
"message": "Remember: we decided to use JWT with refresh tokens, not sessions"
})
```
**File trigger** — fires when a specific file is being worked on:
```
cortex:create_trigger({

How to install
mdr add cdeust/cortex/cortex-automate@sha256:b843b61928dd0606The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260327.890ae58, 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.
