Cortex Setup Wizard

Initialize Cortex for first-time use.

Setup Steps

1. Initialize System

Run the internal setup command to create directories and database:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/index.js setup

2. Configure Preferences

Ask the user to choose a configuration preset:

Question: How would you like Cortex to behave?

  1. Full Automation (Recommended)

    • Protection: Saves seamlessly while you work (every 5% context).
    • Clear Safety: Automatically saves backup before you clear context.
    • Visuals: Shows "Saved" notifications.
  2. Balanced

    • Protection: Saves less frequently (every 10%).
    • Clear Safety: Automatically saves backup before clear.
    • Visuals: Standard status bar.
  3. Silent Mode

    • Protection: Manual saving only.
    • Clear Safety: Automatically saves backup before clear.
    • Visuals: Hidden status bar.

3. Apply Preset

Based on the user's choice (1, 2, or 3), apply the corresponding preset:

If "1" or "Full":

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/index.js configure full

If "2" or "Balanced":

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/index.js configure essential

If "3" or "Silent":

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/index.js configure minimal

4. Finish

Print the success message: "✅ Cortex is ready! Now restart Claude Code to enable memory tools."
