Cortex is an open-source fork of VSCode focused on using AI to help academic work, à la Cursor. This repo is the core fork of VSCode, which you should be able to drop into a build pipeline like VSCodium to build it yourself, as I do.
The easiest and fastest way to install is on the Cortex website.
The main objects of interest here are the extensions: cortex-templates
, cortex-cite
, cortex-chat
(forked from continuedev/continue) and latex-workshop
(forked from James-Yu/LaTeX-Workshop`). All of these projects deserve all the stars! Additionally, I've messed with getting started and welcome pages, the quick chat functionality to enable Cmd+K, and installed a modified version of the Serendipity themes by default.
I'm accepting issues, and PRs if you're really into it, but I'll make the codebase more accessible to others in the future if that's something people want.
