Claude often loses context across sessions or needs to be reminded of past work, leading to repetitive explanations and wasted time. Cortex eliminates this by providing an automatic, persistent memory system.
.cortex_handoff.md file, enabling Claude to instantly pick up where it left off in any new session.Start a new coding session in a Git repository. Cortex will automatically track your changes and provide a .cortex_handoff.md file, summarizing your last session and next steps.

Cortex automatically traces file modifications, git operations, and session events within your repository, generating logs that capture your complete project history. It eliminates manual context-tracking by recording all changes in machine-readable formats for instant retrieval.
Yes. Cortex generates a `.cortex_handoff.md` file that summarizes your last session, decisions, and next steps. Claude reads this handoff automatically, enabling seamless continuity without repetitive explanations across sessions.
Cortex provides a Python API for inter-skill communication, allowing different skills to exchange session data, patterns, and insights. This integration fosters coordinated AI workflows where multiple skills build on shared context and memory.
Cortex requires git hooks and a Python-based API within your repository. It operates directly on git repositories with no external dependencies, automatically activating when you start a coding session.
Cortex is designed for cross-LLM compatibility. Its memory formats—`.cortex_log.md`, `.cortex_status.json`, and `.cortex_handoff.md`—are standards-based and agnostic, enabling any AI system to leverage the captured context.
Cortex triggers pattern analysis via Synapse, which examines your session logs to identify workflows and generate memory-driven skills. This enables automated skill creation based on detected usage patterns.
