Sources

Sources is where you manage what Cortex learns from — your connected repositories and integrations — and where you generate Deep Knowledge for each one.

How it works

Sources shows every connected source as a card, grouped by type (repositories vs. integrations). Each card shows its sync status so you know whether its knowledge is current. Click a source to drill in: for a repository you’ll find its Deep Knowledge (AI-generated documentation) and its Atoms (the individual facts Cortex has extracted). You can trigger Deep Knowledge generation or resync at any time.

What you’ll see

  • Source grid — connected sources grouped by kind, with filter pills (All, GitHub, Slack, and more).
  • Sync status — healthy, stale, error, or generating, plus the auto-sync schedule (e.g. “Syncs daily at 2:00 PM UTC”).
  • Resync — refresh a source on demand.
  • Deep Knowledge generation — kick off generation for a repo and watch progress (pages X of Y).
  • Source detail → Deep Knowledge — the generated documentation, with a section sidebar and inline diagrams.
  • Source detail → Atoms — the extracted knowledge units, each showing its claim, category, confidence, lifecycle state, and source location.

Tip: Generating Deep Knowledge for a repository is what powers grounded answers in Cendra and populates the Wiki.
