Cognee Permanent Memory Storage

Store data permanently in the Cognee knowledge graph with category tagging.

Data categories

Cognee organizes knowledge into three categories via node_set tagging:

CategoryNode setWhat belongs here
useruser_contextUser preferences, corrections, personal facts, communication style
projectproject_docsRepository docs, code context, architecture decisions, company data
agentagent_actionsTool call logs, reasoning traces, generated artifacts (auto-captured by hooks)

Instructions

Use the cognee_recall tool to search for existing related content before storing, then use a bash command to POST to the running Cognee server's remember endpoint:

User data (preferences, corrections, personal context):

curl -s -X POST "${COGNEE_BASE_URL:-http://localhost:8011}/api/v1/remember" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: ${COGNEE_API_KEY:-}" \
  -F "datasetName=${COGNEE_PLUGIN_DATASET:-agent_sessions}" \
  -F "node_set=user_context" \
  -F "run_in_background=false" \
  -F "data=$ARGUMENTS"

Project data (docs, code, company knowledge):

curl -s -X POST "${COGNEE_BASE_URL:-http://localhost:8011}/api/v1/remember" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: ${COGNEE_API_KEY:-}" \
  -F "datasetName=${COGNEE_PLUGIN_DATASET:-agent_sessions}" \
  -F "node_set=project_docs" \
  -F "run_in_background=false" \
  -F "data=$ARGUMENTS"

Agent data (explicit agent notes — routine tool logs are automatic):

curl -s -X POST "${COGNEE_BASE_URL:-http://localhost:8011}/api/v1/remember" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: ${COGNEE_API_KEY:-}" \
  -F "datasetName=${COGNEE_PLUGIN_DATASET:-agent_sessions}" \
  -F "node_set=agent_actions" \
  -F "run_in_background=false" \
  -F "data=$ARGUMENTS"

A {"ok": true} response means the server accepted the data. An error response means the server rejected or failed the request — check COGNEE_API_KEY and server logs; do not re-run or conclude the data wasn't stored without confirming against the server.

IMPORTANT: The remember call always runs in the foreground (run_in_background=false) to ensure the full pipeline completes before returning.

When to use

  • User says "remember this" or "save this" -> category user
  • User says "remember this about the project/codebase" -> category project
  • You want to persist your own findings or conclusions -> category agent
  • NOT for routine tool call logging (that's automatic via hooks with agent_actions tagging)

Category routing guide

A digest of a week or more of the user's own coding-agent sessions (default 7 days): sessions per day and project, most-edited files and the lessons Cognee learned, written up as shipped, decided and still open.

A multi-day digest of the user's own coding-agent sessions — sessions per day and project, most-edited files, and every lesson Cognee distilled into the knowledge graph in that window. Use only when the user explicitly asks for a weekly digest, a retro, a recap or report of their recent sessions, or asks for the `cognee-digest` skill by name. Not for questions about code or the current task.
