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

Explore the memory system's state, find gaps in knowledge, assess coverage, and get diagnostic information. Use when the user asks 'what does my memory look like', 'show me memory stats', 'what am I missing', 'how good is my knowledge', 'memory health', 'show coverage', 'find gaps', 'what topics are weak', or when you need to understand the state of stored knowledge before a task.
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
# Explore Memory — Diagnostics, Gaps, and Coverage
## Keywords
memory stats, diagnostics, coverage, gaps, what am I missing, memory health, knowledge gaps, weak areas, isolated entities, sparse domains, how much do I know, memory overview, system status, knowledge assessment
## Overview
Understand the state of your memory system — what's stored, what's missing, what's decaying, and where knowledge is strong or weak. This skill combines multiple diagnostic tools to give you a complete picture.
**Use this skill when:** Starting a new project phase, after a long break, or when you want to understand what Cortex knows and doesn't know about a topic.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Quick Health Check
Get system-level diagnostics:
```
cortex:memory_stats({})
```
Returns: total memories, heat distribution, store type breakdown (episodic vs semantic), entity count, relationship count, average confidence, and decay statistics.
### Step 2: Assess Knowledge Coverage
Score how well a topic or project is covered:
```
cortex:assess_coverage({
"domain": "<project or topic>",
"query": "<specific area to assess>"
})
```

How to install
mdr add cdeust/cortex/cortex-explore-memory@sha256:a03a2d050ab9b246The 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.
