The Universal AI-Optimized Project Boilerplate. A Tiered Memory System (TMS) designed to maximize AI agent performance. Includes an interactive CLI tool and a high-signal documentation standard.
# Add to your Claude Code skills
git clone https://github.com/cortex-tms/cortex-tmsCortex TMS is an AI Governance Platform built on three pillars:
Stop feeding your AI coding tool thousands of outdated lines. 60-70% input token reduction (measured across 47 sessions on Cortex TMS itself) means lower costs for paid models, less compute for free models, and fewer hallucinations from irrelevant context.
Works with any AI coding tool - Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Warp, Augment, you name it. The architecture is model-agnostic. Input token reduction is universal.
Current Status: ✅ Stable / Production Ready | NPM Package | GitHub Repository | Documentation
