# Profile — Cognitive Profiling and Methodology ## Keywords profile, methodology, cognitive style, work patterns, blind spots, how do I work, thinking style, domains, rebuild profile, my patterns, session history, cognitive, behavioral, persona ## Overview Cortex builds a cognitive profile from your Claude Code session history — how you explore code, which tools you prefer, what patterns you repeat, where you have blind spots, and how your style connects across different project domains. This profile is used to calibrate responses and surface relevant context. **Use this skill when:** Starting a session (auto-injected via hook), wanting to understand your work patterns, or needing to rebuild profiles after significant new work. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Load Current Profile ``` cortex:query_methodology({ "cwd": "<current working directory>", "first_message": "<what the user is working on>" }) ``` Returns: - **Cognitive style** — Felder-Silverman dimensions (active/reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal, sequential/global) - **Entry patterns** — How you typically start work in this domain - **Recurring patterns** — Behavioral patterns that repeat across sessions - **Blind spots** — Categories, tools, or patterns you tend to miss - **Connection bridges** — Cross-domain analogies and structural similarities - **Hot memories** — Most relevant active memories for this context - **Fired triggers** — Prospective memories activated by the current context ### Step 2: ...
