Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "cortex-skill-writer" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into the correct directory mkdir -p .claude/skills/cortex-skill-writer && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/cortex-skill-writer/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adamsonwalter/cortex-skill-writer/main/skill.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Generate Claude Skills using Cortex Architecture pattern. Factors skills into Orchestrator (manifest), Protocols (logic), and Standards (presentation) for attention isolation and modularity. Use when creating new Claude Skills or refactoring monolithic skill.md files.
