#+STARTUP: overview

* Overview
This audit systematically reviews the 39 core skills of the OpenCortex for compliance with the V1.0 standards:
1. **Safety:** Prevention of code injection, proper sandboxing, and actuator safety.
2. **Merkle-Tree Integration:** Proper use of the native Lisp Merkle-Tree versioning for undo/rollback.
3. **Core Invariants:** Adherence to Sovereignty, Mastery, Zero-Bloat, Transparency, and Sustainability.
