# Cortex

**Project knowledge base for Claude Code.**

Cortex analyzes your repository and writes `.claude/docs/` — structured context files Claude Code reads before touching any file. It knows which parts of the codebase break most often, why certain decisions were made, and where the security risks are.

Not documentation you write. Knowledge extracted from your actual project history.
