🧠 Cortex Memory

Persistent memory for AI coding assistants

Stop repeating yourself to AI tools. Cortex remembers your project context across all sessions and tools.

✨ Features

Memories are automatically isolated per project using git root or package.json detection.

🏷️ 5 Memory Types

Organize your memories:

fact - Project facts and context
decision - Architecture and design decisions
code - Code snippets and patterns
