lythoskill-project-cortex from lythos-labs/lythoskill is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Register tasks BEFORE fixing bugs. Close epics when work is done. Always move state through the CLI — never mv files by hand: CLI moves write Status History, manual moves create probe mismatches. Never leave state drift for the next agent to discover via git log. GTD (Getting Things Done)-style governance across ADR (architecture decision record) / Epic / Task / Wiki. Zero-knowledge (ZK) review = a fresh-agent pass over a task card (WHAT/WHY/HOW) before assignment, so an executor with no…

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

# Project Cortex: ADR + Epic + Task + Wiki
> Automation over memory. Use CLI for IDs and templates. Use index for discovery.
## Three Systems

```
Epic (WHY)          ADR (HOW)           Task (WHAT)
requirement origin  technical decision  executable work
derives tasks       guides tasks        links to epic/adr
```

**OS analogy**: Think of the governance system like an operating memory model.

| Component | OS Analogy | Role |
|-----------|-----------|------|
| **Epic** | Memory segment (heap) | Stores the full context — background, requirement tree, zoom-in map. **Workflowy-style**, not a todo list. |
| **ADR** | Code segment (text) | Stores ratified decisions — options considered, consequences, follow-ups. Immutable once accepted. |
| **Wiki** | Shared library | Reusable knowledge extracted after tasks complete. Patterns, FAQs, lessons. |
| **Task** | **Pointer / Reference** | A task card is a `pointer` to epic/adr context plus executable instructions. It does **not** inline the full epic or ADR body — that would be "pass by value" and create drift. |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lythos-labs/lythoskill/lythoskill-project-cortex@sha256:e895bbe1e500e4a6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.fd6cd0c, 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.
