cdeust/Cortex has a FoundDev health score of 83/100, which puts it in the active-and-maintained tier. The maintainer team is shipping recently, issues are being closed, and a PR you open this week has a realistic chance of being reviewed.
Last push was 1 days ago — that signals an actively maintained project. New issues are likely to get a maintainer response within days. The project is written primarily in Python, so prior Python experience will shorten ramp-up.
