Cortex: AI Agent Orchestrator CLI for Deterministic Multi-Agent Workflows via YAML Configuration
By
Aditya Raj
Yesterday's bagel. Skim it, don't savour it.
Summary
Cortex is an AI agent orchestrator CLI tool that enables developers to create deterministic, multi-agent workflows using YAML configuration files. It addresses the problem of unstructured, non-reproducible AI workflows by providing infrastructure-style configs (Cortexfile & MasterCortex) that support parallel execution, task dependencies, output chaining, real-time streaming, session tracking, and reproducible runs. The tool transforms ad-hoc AI usage into reliable, scalable, and automatable systems for developers.
