Context Health

Overview

Provide a consistent diagnostic workflow for cortex environments: verify config integrity, detect duplicates, surface redundancies, and report actionable issues.

When to Use

Checking system health after changes to agents, modes, or rules
Troubleshooting unexpected cortex behavior
Performing periodic maintenance checks

Avoid when:

The task is unrelated to cortex configuration or context

Run checks and gather findings.
Summarize issues by severity.
Recommend fixes and next steps.

Output

Diagnostic report with severity levels
Recommended fixes or follow-up actions

Common Mistakes

Running fixes without reviewing findings
Skipping context scope verification
