# Skill Cortex Triggers when installed Skills cannot complete the current task. If you can handle it yourself, just do it — do not trigger this flow. Cortex data file: ~/.openclaw/skill-cortex/cortex.json (schema in DESIGN.md). ## Phase 1: Perception 1. Read cortex.json (if missing or corrupt, skip to step 3). 2. Semantically match the users task description against sensory.patterns signals. 3. On miss, search ClawHub. ## Phase 2: Validation Present candidates to the user with safety info. Wait for explicit approval before installing. ## Phase 3: Execution Install the Skill, generate an execution plan, execute the task. On failure, auto-recover or switch to next candidate. ## Phase 4: Learning Update the cortex memory. Successful Skills gain weight; failed ones decay. ## Boundary Rules 1. Never interfere with long-term Skills. 2. Installation requires user confirmation. 3. System dependency installation requires separate confirmation. 4. Write operations never enter reflex. 5. Max 2 candidate switches.
