Cortex gives coding agents local, persistent memory

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Developer GSL created Cortex, a local memory system for coding agents that stores session context in a SQLite database.

The open-source tool includes a dashboard and optional autopilot for managing worktrees and model routing.
