What it does
Cortex is an AI agent orchestrator CLI that lets you design deterministic, multi-agent workflows using simple YAML files.Unlike chat-based tools, it supports true parallel execution, task dependencies, and output chaining between agents. Cortex introduces infrastructure style configs (Cortexfile and MasterCortex) to orchestrate single or multi-project AI workflows with real-time streaming, session tracking, and reproducible run built for developers who want control, scalability, and automation.
A powerful CLI tool that orchestrates AI agent workflows defined in YAML. Run multiple AI agents in parallel, chain their outputs, and automate complex tasks.

20+ Claude Code agents coordinating on real work (open source)Feb 2026 · github.com · ▲53Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
