Show HN: CoreTex – An Open-Source, Unix-like, biomimetic, flat-file AI Harness
CoreTex is an open-source, UNIX-inspired AI harness designed for safe and efficient integration of AI into daily life. It utilizes a biomimetic approach, mimicking human neuroanatomy to organize and synthesize information. The system features a unique memory stack and operates primarily on flat files, emphasizing security and user control.
- ▪CoreTex is a biomimetic agent harness that runs purely on flat files.
- ▪It features a 5-tier memory stack that includes working memory and long-term memory.
- ▪The system is designed to be safe by default, requiring explicit user opt-in for code execution.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
🧠 CoreTex: UNIX Inspired Biomimetic Agentic Control Plane and Knowledge Engine Note to Systems Engineers: I took the biomimicry domain-driven design quite far (e.g., the master daemon is the Medulla, short-term memory is the Hippocampus). It is eccentric, but underneath is (arguably) a highly optimized, concurrent, lock-safe, and execution engine that runs purely on flat files. CoreTex is a UNIX-inspired, biomimetic agent harness and knowledge engine intended to help you use AI safely, cost-effectively, and in a way that helps you integrate the whole of your life.
