Cognee Performance skill

Use this skill whenever the user asks about Cognee, AI memory, persistent agent memory, self-improving agents, agents learning from feedback, knowledge graphs, graph-based RAG, long-term memory for agents, short-term memory for agents, personalization, personas, temporal search, temporal knowledge graphs, ontology-based extraction, ontology grounding, feedback, Cypher search, natural-language graph search, chunk search, RAG search, cross-session memory, session feedback, feedback loops, session based memory, redis based memory, knowledge promotion. Also use when the user describes the workflow such as: "turn documents into a knowledge graph", "build memory from files", "search my graph", "extract entities and relations", "sync data into a graph", "update graph memory", "store memories for an agent", "help my agent learn over time", "visualize a knowledge graph built from documents", "let the agent learn", "adaptive agents", "personalized agents", "session based personalization", "find important ontologies", "find custom pydantic models", "isolate agentic behaviour", "add permission control to retrieval", "reduce context bloating".

Use when the user wants to drive cognee from the terminal with cognee-cli — remember/recall/forget/improve memory commands, managing datasets and config, or database migrations.

Use when the user needs something that ships outside cognee core — community database adapters (Qdrant, Milvus, Weaviate, Redis, Pinecone, FalkorDB, Memgraph, DuckDB, NetworkX, …), data-source connectors (Slack, Gmail, Notion, Confluence, Google Drive), custom tasks/pipelines/retrievers (Exa, ScrapeGraph, codify), Keywords AI observability — or wants to contribute a package to the cognee-community repo.

Use when defining the shape of cognee's knowledge graph with graph_model= — writing DataPoint node classes, choosing identity and index fields so nodes merge and are searchable, declaring typed Edge fields and FromIdentity references, building a model from a JSON schema, or debugging duplicated nodes, missing edges, or InvalidReferenceTypeError.

Use when building your own cognee processing — writing custom tasks, chaining them into a pipeline with run_custom_pipeline or the lightweight run_pipeline (from cognee.pipelines import run_pipeline), storing custom DataPoints with add_data_points, running custom enrichment over the existing graph, checking pipeline run status, or debugging how data flows between tasks (batch_size, data_per_batch, ctx, Drop, enriches).

Use when the user wants to run cognee with Docker or docker compose — trying it out from the prebuilt image, starting the API server in a container, or bringing up the full stack (UI, MCP, Postgres, Neo4j) with compose profiles.

Use when removing data from cognee memory with forget() in the SDK, HTTP API, or CLI — finding which dataset and document hold the content to delete (listing datasets and data items, reading raw content), choosing between deleting one document, a whole dataset, or only the graph/vector memory, and doing it safely.

Use when working with cognee's session memory or improve() — storing conversation turns, agent traces and feedback with session_id, bridging sessions into the permanent graph, reading an ImproveResult, understanding why an improve stage was skipped, already_completed or lock_held, or tuning the IMPROVE_* settings.
