What Cortex Agent does
Cortex Agent explores your workspace, edits files, runs terminal commands when allowed, and iterates until the task is done — all inside Elido Cortex chat. For larger work it can plan first, then implement.
Tools that make it unique
- Privacy Mode — local models via Elido Local Engine; no cloud hop while it is on
- Local Semantic Index — codebase search with on-device embeddings (auto-index on folder open)
- Terminal & shell — run commands, attach output to chat, and debug failures in context
- MCP, skills & knowledge — extend capabilities and keep project knowledge across sessions
- No BYOK — models run through your Elido subscription via Gateway Connect
Cloud agents
Queued cloud jobs accept optional repoUrl, branch, and mode (plan, review, or implement-brief). Cortex Cloud Agent returns a structured work package (plan, acceptance checklist, suggested files, test commands).
PR review
GitHub webhooks can run Cortex Agent Review on pull requests. See PR review setup for GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET and GITHUB_TOKEN.
