About

cortex is a plugin bundle for AI coding tools published by alphaaiservice. Marketplaces we read that list it: 1 (Claude Code: claude-plugins-community). We first saw it on 2026-10-11 and have recorded no change since. As of our marketplace pass on 2026-10-13.

In its own words, on Claude Code: claude-plugins-community:

Cortex — SDLC Automation Engine by Alpha AI. Automates the entire software development lifecycle from idea to deployment. 37 slash commands, 11 specialized AI agents, and 9 auto-invoked skills covering project scaffolding, autonomous building, code review, testing, security scanning, CI/CD generation, and deployment. Supports Python/FastAPI, Node.js/NestJS, and Java/Spring Boot backends with Next.js frontend. Enforces production-grade standards: JWT auth, layered architecture, OWASP security, and performance best practices — all without human intervention.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.

Is this your plugin?

Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.

Data comes from the public marketplace file https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-community/blob/HEAD/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
