From cortex
Retrieves global cross-project memories including architecture rules, coding conventions, infrastructure facts, and team policies. Use to surface knowledge stored as global across all projects.

Retrieve global memories — knowledge stored as cross-project that's visible regardless of which project you're currently working in. Global memories include architecture rules, coding conventions, infrastructure facts, security policies, and team agreements.
Note: Regular cortex:recall already surfaces global memories automatically. This skill is for when you specifically want to focus on cross-project knowledge.
Query with any domain — global memories appear alongside domain-specific results:
cortex:recall({
"query": "<topic to search for>",
"max_results": 10
})
Global memories are included in results regardless of the current project domain.
To see only global cross-project knowledge, use the unified neural graph:
cortex:open_visualization()
Click the Global filter button (pink) to isolate all global memories.
Click the Global filter — global memories appear as pink nodes connected to all project domains.
Common global recall patterns:
Architecture rules:
cortex:recall({ "query": "architecture rules and principles" })
Infrastructure:
cortex:recall({ "query": "server addresses and database connections" })
Coding conventions:
cortex:recall({ "query": "coding standards and naming conventions" })
Security policies:
cortex:recall({ "query": "security policies and credential management" })
After finding a global memory, explore what it connects to across projects:
cortex:navigate_memory({
"memory_id": <id>,
"depth": 2
})
Global memories link to all domain hubs in the knowledge graph — following connections shows which projects reference similar concepts.
Global memories have is_global = TRUE in the database. During recall, every retrieval signal (vector, FTS, trigram, heat, recency) includes the clause:
WHERE (domain = current_domain OR is_global = TRUE)
This means global memories compete on relevance alongside domain-specific ones — they're not artificially boosted, just not filtered out.

Use for architecture rules, conventions, infrastructure facts, security policies, or team agreements that apply universally.
Queries and manages a project knowledge graph across tasks, SOPs, memories, and concepts. Captures patterns, pitfalls, decisions, and learnings for persistent retrieval.

Save important decisions, patterns, and architectural insights to memory.
