Cortex

What to consider before installing: - The scripts download a prebuilt binary from the project's GitHub releases and install it to ~/bin; the installer does not verify signatures or checksums. Prefer verifying the release checksum or building from source if you need higher assurance. - The tool reads and imports local files (MEMORY.md, memory/). That is expected, but it means your personal notes and agent memory will be read and stored in ~/.cortex/cortex.db. Make a backup if the DB contains sensitive data. - The SKILL.md advertises connectors (Gmail, Drive, Slack, Notion, etc.) and optional LLMs. Those integrations will require provider credentials and will transmit data to external services; the skill metadata does not declare or document the required secrets. Review connector behavior and permission scopes before enabling sync. - The setup may append PATH changes to your shell rc and the project may install scheduled syncs (launchd/systemd) if you use the schedule/install option — expect persistent background activity. Inspect any scheduled-install commands before running them. - The wrapper's 'reimport' command removes the DB file without interactive confirmation — it is destructive for stored memory. Use with caution and keep backups. If you decide to proceed: verify the GitHub release (or build from source), review the binary's release notes and checksums, run the setup in a limited environment first (or container), and only enable connectors after reviewing the exact auth/permission flows.
