Glossary

Agent¶

An AI assistant that can perform tasks autonomously. In kortex-cli, agents are the different AI tools (Claude Code, Goose, Cursor) that can be launched and configured.

LLM (Large Language Model)¶

The underlying AI model that powers the agents. Examples include Claude (by Anthropic), GPT (by OpenAI), and other language models.

MCP (Model Context Protocol)¶

A standardized protocol for connecting AI agents to external data sources and tools. MCP servers provide agents with additional capabilities like database access, API integrations, or file system operations.

Skills¶

Pre-configured capabilities or specialized functions that can be enabled for an agent. Skills extend what an agent can do, such as code review, testing, or specific domain knowledge.

Workspace¶

A registered directory containing your project source code and its configuration. Each workspace is tracked by kortex-cli with a unique ID and name for easy management.
