Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is topoteretes/cognee's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on cognee itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything cognee configures →

About the project

Cognee is an AI memory platform that stores information in a self-hosted knowledge graph so agents can retain context across sessions. It ingests data, connects related information, and helps agents retrieve it for reasoning and actions. The catalogue includes skills and instructions that extend agent workflows around Cognee.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cognee-community scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Use and contribute cognee-community packages

Community-maintained plugins live in a separate monorepo: https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee-community. Everything installable is under packages/; experimental/ holds demos (n8n nodes, dlt demos, bauplan, tower) that are not published packages. Each package publishes to PyPI as cognee-community-<family>-<kind>-<name> and imports as the same name with underscores.

Package families

Family Packages
Vector adapters azureaisearch, milvus, moss, opengauss, opensearch, pinecone, qdrant, redis, singlestore, turbopuffer, valkey, weaviate
Graph adapters arcadedb, memgraph, networkx, pggraph, spanner, turbopuffer, turingdb
Hybrid (graph+vector in one DB) arcadedb, duckdb, falkordb, helixdb
Connectors (data sources) confluence, gmail, google-drive, notion, slack
Tasks / pipelines / retrievers codify_tasks, codify_pipeline, code_retriever, exa_tasks, scrapegraph_tasks
Observability keywordsai (MONITORING_TOOL=keywordsai + KEYWORDSAI_API_KEY)

Using a database adapter

Install, then import the package's register module before cognee touches any engine — registration is what makes the provider name valid:

uv pip install cognee-community-vector-adapter-qdrant
import cognee
from cognee import config
from cognee_community_vector_adapter_qdrant import register  # noqa: F401

config.set_vector_db_config(
    {
        "vector_db_provider": "qdrant",
        "vector_db_url": "http://localhost:6333",
        "vector_db_key": "...",
        "vector_dataset_database_handler": "qdrant",  # only if the adapter ships one
    }
)

The register.py calls use_vector_adapter(name, AdapterClass) / use_graph_adapter(...). Setting VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER/GRAPH_DATABASE_PROVIDER to a community name without the register import raises "Unsupported vector database provider". Hybrid adapters (e.g. falkordb) register as both graph and vector — set both configs to the same provider name.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
