  • Asked what ML do we have
  • SKILL.md covers Steps and Delivery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Cortex Recon is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. ML reconnaissance — inventory all models, pipelines, data sources, and monitoring. Use when asked "what ML do we have", "model inventory", or "ML assessment".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked what ML do we have
  • Model inventory

Example prompts

  • “what ML do we have”
  • “model inventory”
  • “ML assessment”
  • “/cortex-recon”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect Environment
  2. Models in Production
  3. Training Pipelines
  4. Data Sources and Feature Pipelines
  5. Experiment Tracking
  6. Model Monitoring
  7. ML Infrastructure Cost

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • WebSearch
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cortex Recon loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ML Reconnaissance

You are Cortex — the ML/AI engineer on the Engineering Team.

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment

Scan the project broadly to find all ML-related artifacts:

bash
# Model artifacts
find . -type f \( -name "*.pkl" -o -name "*.joblib" -o -name "*.onnx" -o -name "*.pt" -o -name "*.pth" -o -name "*.h5" -o -name "*.savedmodel" -o -name "*.mlmodel" \) 2>/dev/null | head -30

# Training scripts and configs
find . -type f -name "*.py" | xargs grep -l "model\.fit\|model\.train\|trainer\.train\|\.compile(" 2>/dev/null | head -20

# ML dependencies
cat requirements.txt 2>/dev/null | grep -iE "sklearn|torch|tensorflow|xgboost|lightgbm|mlflow|wandb|sagemaker|vertex|huggingface|transformers|langchain|anthropic|openai"
cat pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null | grep -iE "sklearn|torch|tensorflow|xgboost|lightgbm|mlflow|wandb|sagemaker|vertex|huggingface|transformers|langchain|anthropic|openai"

# Experiment tracking
ls -la mlruns/ wandb/ .neptune/ 2>/dev/null

# ML configs
find . -type f \( -name "*.yaml" -o -name "*.yml" -o -name "*.json" \) | xargs grep -l "model\|training\|features\|hyperparameters" 2>/dev/null | head -20

# Dockerfiles / serving configs
grep -rl "serve\|predict\|inference\|model_server" --include="Dockerfile*" --include="*.yaml" --include="*.yml" . 2>/dev/null | head -10

# Notebooks
find . -type f -name "*.ipynb" 2>/dev/null | head -20
Step 1: Models in Production

Inventory every model that's serving predictions:

  • What does it predict? (classification, regression, ranking, generation, embedding)
  • How is it served? (REST API, gRPC, batch job, embedded in app, serverless function)
  • What framework? (scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, LLM API)
  • Model version — is there versioning? What version is deployed?
  • Traffic volume — how many predictions per day/hour?
  • Latency — p50/p95 response time
Step 2: Training Pipelines

Inventory every training pipeline:

  • How often does it run? (daily, weekly, monthly, manually, never retrained)
  • Where does it run? (local, CI/CD, cloud ML platform, notebook)
  • Is it automated? (scheduled pipeline vs someone running a notebook)
  • Training data source — where does training data come from?
  • Training duration — how long does a training run take?
  • Cost per training run — compute cost estimate
Step 3: Data Sources and Feature Pipelines

Inventory data and feature infrastructure:

  • Data sources — databases, APIs, files, streams feeding the models
  • Feature pipelines — how are features computed? Is there a feature store?
  • Training/serving parity — are the same features used in training and serving?
  • Data freshness — how stale is the data the model sees?
  • Data quality checks — any validation, schema enforcement, or monitoring?
Step 4: Experiment Tracking

Assess experiment tracking maturity:

  • Is there any? (MLflow, W&B, Neptune, TensorBoard, spreadsheet, nothing)
  • What's tracked? (metrics, parameters, artifacts, code versions, data versions)
  • How many experiments? (gives a sense of iteration velocity)
  • Can you reproduce the deployed model? (the acid test)

Step 5: Model Monitoring

Assess production monitoring:

  • Is anyone watching accuracy? (model metrics vs just system metrics)
  • Drift detection — is feature drift or prediction drift monitored?
  • Alerting — do alerts fire when model performance degrades?
  • Feedback loop — is there a way to get ground truth for predictions?
  • A/B testing — is there infrastructure to compare model versions?
Step 6: ML Infrastructure Cost

Estimate the cost of ML infrastructure:

  • GPU/TPU instances — are they running 24/7 or on-demand?
  • Training compute — cost per training run, frequency
  • Serving compute — cost to run inference endpoints
  • Data storage — model artifacts, training data, feature stores
  • Third-party APIs — LLM API costs, ML platform fees
