Cortex - Session Orchestration & Universal Logging

Cortex is an automatic memory system that traces all work across sessions and enables skills to communicate with each other.

What Cortex Provides

1. Automatic session tracing - Tracks all file changes, git operations, and major events
2. Agent handoffs - Seamless context transfer between sessions
3. Inter-skill communication - Python API for skills to share data and patterns
4. Pattern detection - Analyzes work patterns to recommend new skills (via Synapse)

Core Files Generated

Cortex automatically maintains three files in your project root:

• .cortex_log.md - Human-readable session history with detailed narrative
• .cortex_status.json - Machine-readable current state and metrics
• .cortex_handoff.md - Quick start guide for next session
