Cortex
by hurttlocker
Open memory primitive for AI agents with human-gated directives and Ebbinghaus decay.
What it does
Cortex provides an observable memory layer for AI agents that prioritizes human governance. It separates memory into 'Directives' (explicit rules) and a 'Ledger' (implicit outcomes), ensuring that agents propose patterns rather than writing rules autonomously.
Tools
- cortex_ledger_record: Records outcomes and patterns as agents work.
- cortex_search: Performs hybrid keyword and semantic search across memories.
- cortex_directive_add: Explicitly authors rules that never decay.
- cortex_propose_scan: Scans the ledger for recurring patterns to propose as directives.
