devcortex

The cognitive layer for AI coding agents. Your agent writes code — DevCortex makes it ship: evidence-backed ship reports that refuse to let an agent claim "done" without proof, blast-radius protection for risky edits, and persistent project memory. Works alongside Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code agent mode, and any MCP client.

npx devcortex init                 # scan your repo, create .cortex/
npx devcortex preflight "add billing"   # risk + blast radius + context, before you touch code
npx devcortex ship                 # evidence-backed ship report (exit 2 when NOT_READY)

devcortex ship runs your repo's own gates (typecheck / lint / build / test) and produces a verdict:

CORTEX SHIP STATUS
Status       NOT_READY
Blocked (1)
  ✗ test — Command exited with code 1
Unproven "done" is blocked
  ✗ Required check failed: test

The agent said "done." The gate said otherwise — with evidence.
