Poem

🐇 I nibble notes in moonlit code,
Cortex keeps each step I strode,
Layers of memory, soft and bright,
Auto-captured through the night,
A rabbit's trail in data light.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a new entry for Cortex — Persistent AI Memory to the ## 🛠️ Ecosystem Tools section of the README. The entry describes a 3-layer memory system (working, episodic, semantic) that auto-captures Claude Code session context, and links to both the GitHub repository and VSCode Marketplace.

  • The entry now uses a distinct 🔮 emoji, resolving the prior collision with the adjacent ### 🧠 Continuous Learning v2 heading.
  • The format — heading, description paragraph, install hint, and [GitHub] | [Marketplace] links — now matches the established pattern used by AgentShield and other entries in the section.
  • No code changes; this is a pure documentation addition.

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • Safe to merge — documentation-only change with no functional impact.
  • The PR is a single README addition. Both prior reviewer concerns (duplicate emoji and format inconsistency) have been fully addressed in this revision. The entry is well-formed, follows the section's conventions, and links to a public GitHub repo and VSCode Marketplace listing.
  • No files require special attention.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
README.md Adds a Cortex — Persistent AI Memory entry in the Ecosystem Tools section, matching the section's established format with heading, description, and links. Previous reviewer feedback (emoji collision, format mismatch) has been addressed.

Nice addition overall. To make this immediately actionable for users, include the Marketplace URL alongside the GitHub link.
