abstract: >-
  Cortex is an open-source persistent memory layer for Claude Code that operates
  via the Model Context Protocol. It captures architectural decisions, coding
  preferences, and project context during coding sessions, validates them through
  a 7-rule quality gate, and injects relevant context into future sessions
  automatically. All data is stored locally in SQLite with optional multi-machine
  synchronization via Turso.
