Cortex is an AI agent orchestrator CLI that lets you design deterministic, multi-agent workflows using simple YAML files.Unlike chat-based tools, it supports true parallel execution, task dependencies, and output chaining between agents. Cortex introduces infrastructure style configs (Cortexfile and MasterCortex) to orchestrate single or multi-project AI workflows with real-time streaming, session tracking, and reproducible run built for developers who want control, scalability, and automation.
Exploring Cortex? Compare it with systemprompt for Rust-first agent infra, Warp for an agentic dev environment, and Claude Code for deep-context coding. Stress-test flows with Balagan Agent or route skills with flins.
