Standardizes document creation across the Cortex ecosystem by enforcing consistent frontmatter contracts and structured Markdown templates.

The Cortex Frontmatter skill serves as the central authority for document structure within Cortex knowledge systems. It ensures every file—whether it is a research paper, brainstorm session, or architectural decision record—contains valid YAML frontmatter, follows specific naming conventions, and utilizes standardized section headers. By delegating document creation to this skill, users maintain a consistent, searchable, and highly organized knowledge base across both personal projects and engineering repositories, ensuring that metadata like status, tags, and project IDs are never missed.
