Cortex is a development orchestration framework that coordinates AI agents across model providers. It enforces quality gates — independent code review, test coverage audits, and lint checks — so that no agent grades its own homework. The result is a structured, auditable development workflow where Claude, Codex, and Gemini collaborate with built-in verification at every step.

How It Works

Multi-model review with no self-review

Cortex's core principle: the agent that writes the code never reviews it. When Codex implements a feature, the review is routed to Claude first, then to a different model family, with same-model review as a last resort. Every review produces a structured artifact with severity levels and a pass/fail verdict.

Codex implements → Claude reviews → Codex remediates → Claude re-reviews
