setup-cognee

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the complexity of installing, configuring, and validating cognee-based persistent memory for Claude Code so the agent can remember context across sessions without manual setup drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Interactive setup: Detects the local environment, available tools, and existing config before guiding installation.
• Memory backend configuration: Supports file-based or Postgres-backed storage, plus LLM and embedding provider selection.
• Safe secret handling: Uses macOS Keychain or a literal fallback path depending on platform, while keeping generated config aligned.
• Lifecycle management: Handles initial setup, refreshes after updates, and post-restart health checks.
• Use case: A developer can initialize a new Claude Code workspace, enable semantic memory, and confirm the system works with a real remember-and-recall probe.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to set up cognee MCP for your machine, choose the storage and model options, and verify the installation with a successful remember-and-recall round trip.
