- **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 minimal4. Finish
Print the success message: "✅ Cortex is ready! Now restart Claude Code to enable memory tools."
