Robo Cortex Overview

robo-cortex stores agent memories in a local SQLite database and anchors them to Git blob hashes. It flags memories for review when linked files change, supports evidence-backed status changes, and can heal drift after a committed revert. Use it when coding-agent lessons must remain traceable to the code version that supported them.
