Cordis is a TypeScript meta-framework for building composable plugin-based applications, centered on a service container (context) with dependency injection, typed events, and reversible side-effect registration. It provides lifecycle management with automatic teardown, multiple event dispatch modes (emit, waterfall, parallel, serial), and is used as the underlying plugin framework for AI agent harnesses.

Use cases

• build a plugin-based application with dependency injection
• structure services with typed events and lifecycle hooks
• compose AI agent tools and pipelines as plugins
• implement middleware-style request wrapping with waterfall events
• manage reversible registrations with automatic teardown on reload

When to choose

• you want a service container with declarative dependency injection in TypeScript
• you need plugin hot-reloading with guaranteed resource disposal
• you are building an extensible system where plugins communicate via typed events

When to avoid

• you need a simple script or one-off tool without plugin architecture
• your team is not comfortable with TypeScript and advanced type-system patterns
• you want a batteries-included web framework with routing and HTTP built in
