Local Environment Skill (Cortex AI)

This skill provides context about the local development environment for the agent.

Environment Overview

• OS: macOS (Darwin)
• Hostname: jerxie-macbookpro
• User: axieyangb
• Filesystem: NFS Mount (Note: Permissions and ownership are often fixed; use sudo -S for restricted operations).

Python Environment

• Venv Name: cortex-ai
• Location: Project Root (/Users/axieyangb/Project/CortexAI/cortex-ai)
• Activation: source cortex-ai/bin/activate
• Base Python: /opt/anaconda3/bin/python3.12

Rules for the Agent

1. Always activate the venv: Before running any Python, build, or test command, ensure the venv is activated.
   • Example: source cortex-ai/bin/activate && pytest
2. Handle NFS Permissions: If a file operation fails with "Permission Denied", check if it's due to the NFS mount.
   • The sudo password can be found in the .env file as REMOTE_PASS.
   • Use echo $REMOTE_PASS | sudo -S ... if necessary.
3. Internal Paths: Several scripts (like run_integration_tests.sh) may expect /tmp/venv. A compatible venv is also maintained at /tmp/venv if the local one fails.

Common Operations

• Startup Backend (Native): source cortex-ai/bin/activate && ./run_integration_tests.sh --native
• Compile Protos: source cortex-ai/bin/activate && bash agent-node/scripts/compile_protos.sh
