Update the running note for the current branch with a new change entry

Add a commit separator to the branch note with commit metadata

Read branch notes - defaults to showing uncommitted work, can also filter by commit hash or date range

Update the context file with information about the feature, pipeline, or project

Read project context file (branch-agnostic, shared across all branches)

Read branch-specific context file (current branch context only)

Read pipeline-specific context file

List all context files for a project or across all projects

Generate a commit message based on the branch note without making the commit

Generate a comment for a Jira ticket about the changes without updating the ticket

Generate or regenerate vector embeddings for all Cursor-Cortex knowledge files (tacit knowledge, branch notes, context files). Enables semantic search across entire knowledge base.

Create a tacit knowledge document based on the Cursor-Cortex template

Create a project completion checklist using the Cursor-Cortex template

Read a completion checklist for the project

Update checklist items based on branch context and progress

Sign off on a completed checklist item

Read tacit knowledge documents with optional semantic search - supports exact filename access, text search, or vector-based semantic search for concept retrieval

Search branch notes across projects with semantic search - find development insights, problem-solving journeys, and decision contexts

Archive branch notes for a project

Clear branch notes for a project, optionally creating an archive first

List all branch notes across all projects, grouped by branch with priority order (main, stage, then alphabetically). Use maxItems to only include the most recently modified note files (reduces noise).

Semantic-first branch survey system for Knowledge Archaeology - provides comprehensive analysis using semantic search across all branches with completeness scoring, relationship mapping, and production readiness assessment. Uses AI-powered semantic understanding by default.

Global semantic-first search across ALL Cursor-Cortex knowledge including branch notes, tacit knowledge, archives, and context files. Provides unified discovery across entire knowledge base using AI-powered semantic understanding by default.

Phase 2.1: Narrative Construction Engine - Weaves scattered technical details into coherent production stories using Knowledge Archaeology techniques

Phase 2.2: Timeline Reconstruction Tool - Extracts chronological timeline data from branch notes and commit separators for reality sync analysis. OPTIMIZED: Now shows titles only for better performance and readability. Smart date filtering with shortcuts available. Returns scalable timeline with titles instead of full content.

Provides contextual guidance for syncing project contexts based on timeline data and sync type

Analyzes folder structure to identify documentation needs and create knowledge capture checklists. Phase 2.3 of Knowledge Archaeology & Reality Sync Engine.

Migrate existing context files to the Smart Hybrid Context System. Converts main/master contexts to project_context.md and preserves branch-specific contexts.

Create a new critical thinking analysis workspace using Six Thinking Hats methodology. This starts a multi-step systematic analysis process that enforces completion of all six perspectives before allowing final decisions. Returns an analysis ID for tracking progress.

Check the completion status of a critical thinking analysis. Shows which Six Thinking Hats perspectives are complete and which are missing. Prevents rushed decisions by clearly showing incomplete analysis.

Request Six Thinking Hats guidance for a specific perspective before analysis. Shows thinking prompts and questions to guide proper analysis approach. Must be called BEFORE add_perspective for that hat color.

Add a specific Six Thinking Hats perspective analysis to critical thinking workspace. REQUIRES calling request_thinking_guidance first for this perspective - will fail if guidance not requested.

Load all Six Thinking Hats perspectives into synthesis workspace and start stepped synthesis process. REQUIRES all 6 perspectives to be completed first. Sets up synthesis semaphore for systematic integration.

Request detailed guidance for a specific synthesis step. Shows prompts and questions to guide proper synthesis step completion. Must be called BEFORE complete_synthesis_step for that step.

Complete a specific synthesis step and update the synthesis process. REQUIRES calling request_synthesis_step_guidance first for this step - will fail if guidance not requested.

Package Cursor-Cortex knowledge into a portable ZIP archive for sharing between users and environments

Import shared context package and place content in appropriate Cursor-Cortex storage locations with safe conflict resolution

Query the GraphQL Knowledge Hub API for structured knowledge discovery, project graph traversal, pipeline exploration, and cross-project relationship analysis. Requires the GraphQL server to be running (node graphql/server.cjs).
