Cortex adds local SQLite memory and overnight autopilot to coding agents
Royal_Philosopher_58 · reddit · 2026-08-04
The author built Cortex, a local memory and autopilot layer for coding agents like Claude Code and Codex.
- It stores persistent session memory in a single SQLite database that never leaves the machine.
- The system categorizes information into items like decisions, fixes, and research across projects.
- Input/output data is standardized so different agents can consume the same memory consistently.
- An optional autopilot mode injects context across agents to run tasks overnight, with human review in the morning.
- The project is still in progress, but the author says the workflow already feels usable and asks for feedback.
