## Noosphere Context No prior dreams or patterns found on this topic. Fresh ground.
### Architecture Overview The Cortex is a self-improving behavioral intelligence system at `[home-path]` with 7 phases, 17 Python files, 29 tests, and 3 hooks. Its data store is `[home-path]` (currently 399 entries: 324 invocation_records + 75 decay_flags).
#### 1a. Extractor (`[home-path]`, 287 lines) - **Pipeline**: 4-pass -- Load+Filter, Tokenize+N-gram, Cluster (Jaccard >0.6), Enrich - **Input**: `[home-path]` (currently 903 entries) - **Output**: `CortexEntry(type="skill_candidate")` objects - **Filtering**: Lines 41-67 define SKIP_PATTERNS (automated prompts, trivial inputs like "yes", "ok", "continue") - **Tokenization**: Line 96-98 -- lowercase, strip punctuation, remove stop words, 2-4 word n-grams - **Clustering**: Line 157 -- requires `min_count=15` for meaningful clusters. Jaccard threshold 0.6 at line 192 - **Domain detection**: Lines 70-81 -- 10 operational domains (ios, deploy, supabase, docker, git, prefect, monitoring, mesh, debug, asc) - **Cap**: 30 candidates maximum (line 224) - **Critical gap**: Only extracts intent *labels* from prompts. Does NOT capture tool-use sequences, file paths touched, success/failure signals, or the full trajectory of how a task was accomplished.
#### 1b. Generator (`[home-path]`, 178 lines) - **Input**: `CortexEntry` skill candidate - **Output**: Static SKILL.md file with frontmatter (YAML) + markdown body - **Template variables**: Lines 19-59 define DOMAIN_TOOLS, DOMAIN_MACHINES, DOMAIN_TRIGGERS per domain - **Content**: Generic 4-step workflow (check state, execute, verify, report) at lines 112-127 - **Critical gap**: Generated skills are *static templates*, not learned procedures. The "Workflow" section is the same 4 generic steps for every skill. No tool sequences, no gotcha accumulation from actual failures, no reward signal integration.
Why this is not always a full paper yet
Corpus pages are public-safe readers for discovered workspace artifacts. They are not automatically final papers. A corpus item becomes a polished paper only after the editable source, evidence checkpoints, references, figures, render path, and release status are attached through the paper schema.
