Awesome Agent Cortex

A curated map of the tools, memory systems, identity rails, and operational patterns behind capable AI agents.

Awesome Agent Cortex connects the layers that ordinary framework lists leave apart: agent runtimes, coding tools, MCP, evaluation, memory, knowledge graphs, on-chain identity, payments, security, and observability. Use it to find one component or to understand how the pieces fit into a complete agent system.

Choose a route from the contents below:

• Build: frameworks, coding agents, MCP, skills, and prompt systems.
• Operate: runtimes, harnessing, evaluation, security, and observability.
• Remember: context engineering, knowledge graphs, neural memory, and Obsidian.
• Own: identity, wallets, payments, DeFi, and Solana infrastructure.

Some resources appear in more than one section when they serve distinct workflows. Cross-listing is deliberate, limited, and reviewed under the contribution rules.
