Can I move memories from an old project to a new one?

Yes, you can use the rename project feature to move all associated memories at once, or update individual memories to point to a new project ID.

How does the search functionality work?

You can use the recall tool to search through your memories using semantic queries or filter specifically by project name to find the exact context you need.

How do I prevent accidental deletion of memories?

The skill follows strict safety rules: it always generates a preview of the deletion impact first and requires an explicit confirmation before executing any destructive action.

Is my memory data stored in the cloud?

No, Cortex is built for zero-cloud usage. All memories managed by this skill are stored locally on your machine for maximum privacy.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages and organizes persistent local memories for seamless cross-session recall and project context within Claude Code.

The Cortex Memory Manager skill provides a robust administrative interface for your local AI memory store. It enables users to search, view, update, and delete memory fragments, ensuring that the AI's long-term context remains accurate and relevant. By facilitating project-wide operations like bulk renaming and offering strict safety protocols for data deletion—including mandatory impact previews—this skill bridges the gap between transient chat sessions and a reliable, high-integrity knowledge base that lives entirely on your local machine.
