lex-cortex

Cognitive wiring layer for the LegionIO agentic architecture. Discovers loaded agentic extensions at runtime, builds phase handlers from their runners, and drives the tick cycle through lex-tick.

Add to your Gemfile:

gem 'lex-cortex'

Cortex sits between the tick orchestrator and all other agentic extensions. On each 1-second tick cycle it:

1. Drains the signal buffer (external stimuli pushed via ingest_signal)
2. Discovers which agentic extensions are loaded
3. Builds phase handlers that map tick phases to extension runner methods
4. Delegates to lex-tick's execute_tick with the wired handlers

When cortex is loaded, the standalone tick actor automatically disables itself.

Active tick phases (12):

Dream cycle phases (7):

All extensions are optional. Missing extensions result in { status: :no_handler } for their phases.

Cortex runs automatically as a Legion extension. To interact with it programmatically:

# Inject a signal
cortex.ingest_signal(signal: { event: 'user_message', text: 'hello' },
                     source_type: :human_direct,
                     salience: 0.8)

# Check status
cortex.cortex_status
# => { extensions_available: 8, wired_phases: 13, buffer_depth: 0, ... }

# Force rediscovery of extensions
cortex.rewire
