cognee-cli
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.
.claude/skills/cognee-cli/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
cognee-community
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-communit…
.claude/skills/cognee-community/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
cognee-docker
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.
.claude/skills/cognee-docker/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
cognee-install
Use when the user wants to install cognee and run their first remember → recall flow with the Python SDK — fresh setup, virtual env, extras selection, or a minimal working example.
.claude/skills/cognee-install/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
cognee-integrations
Use when the user wants to connect cognee to external services — switching LLM or embedding providers (OpenAI, Azure, Gemini, Anthropic, Ollama, OpenRouter), changing databases (Postgres, PGVector, Neo4j, Neptune, Turso), S3 storage, or the MCP server for IDE integration.
.claude/skills/cognee-integrations/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
cognee-permissions
Use when working with cognee's permission system — understanding or changing how users, roles, and tenants get access to datasets, how ACL grants work, where permissions are enforced in add/cognify/search/delete, and how the grant records surface in the memory-provenance view.
.claude/skills/cognee-permissions/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
cognee-server
Use when the user wants to run the cognee API server (and optional UI) on their own machine — starting it, checking it's healthy, connecting the SDK or other clients to it, and choosing the right auth posture.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
