GhostPaw Codex

Record that two beliefs are not meaningfully related despite proximity detection. Uses exponential backoff — the pair will resurface less frequently with each dismissal. Use when: Use this after inspecting two proximate beliefs and determining they are not duplicates or in conflict. The dismissal suppresses the pair in future proximity results. Not for: Do not use this if the beliefs are genuinely related — instead use revise_belief to merge, correct, or forget one of them.

Inspect one belief in full detail: certainty, freshness, strength, source, category, lineage chain, proximity to similar beliefs, and version diff when applicable. Use when: Use this after finding a belief through search_codex or review_codex to understand it deeply before deciding whether to confirm, correct, or forget it. Not for: Do not use this for bulk browsing — use review_codex for lists. Do not call this without a specific belief id.

Create a new belief from a claim, source, and category. Automatically detects nearby beliefs for duplicate awareness. Use when: Use this when a new proposition should enter the codex. Always search first to check whether the belief already exists — prefer confirming or correcting an existing belief over creating a duplicate. Not for: Do not use this to update an existing belief. Use revise_belief with the correct, confirm, or merge action instead.

Permanently delete a belief and its entire lineage chain. No trace remains. This is for privacy and hard erasure, not normal revision. Use when: Use this only for privacy cleanup or hard erasure. The belief and all of its lineage (predecessors and successors) will be destroyed. Not for: Do not use this for normal belief lifecycle — use revise_belief with the forget action to preserve the audit trail.

Load a codex review surface: flags for beliefs needing attention, status for portfolio health, log for recent activity, or trends for time-based patterns. Use when: Use this when you need an overview of the codex state rather than a specific belief. Start with flags for maintenance, status for a dashboard, or log for recent changes. Not for: Do not use this to find a specific belief by topic — use search_codex instead. Do not use this to inspect one belief deeply — use inspect_codex_item.

Revise an existing belief: confirm it still holds, correct it with a new claim, merge multiple beliefs into one, forget it from active recall, or defer its next flag review. Use when: Use this after inspecting a belief to act on it. Choose the action that matches the situation: confirm for reinforcement, correct for changed understanding, merge for consolidation, forget for removal from active recall, defer for postponing review. Not for: Do not use this to create a new belief — use remember_belief. Do not use this to permanently delete a belief — use retire_belief.

Search active beliefs by natural language query. Returns ranked matches with recall scores and transparency metadata. Use when: Use this to find beliefs about a topic before acting on them. Always search before creating a new belief to avoid duplicates. Not for: Do not use this for browsing all beliefs — use review_codex with the status or flags view instead.
