From cognee-memory
Searches Cognee knowledge graph and session memory by category (user/project/agent). Use when you need permanent graph results or filtered search beyond automatic session recall.

Search both session memory and the permanent knowledge graph, optionally filtered by data category.
Search both session memory and the permanent knowledge graph, optionally filtered by data category.
Session memory is searched automatically on every user prompt via the UserPromptSubmit hook. You do not need to run this skill to access current-session context.
Knowledge is organized into three categories via node_set:
| Category | Node set | Contains |
|---|---|---|
| user | user_context | User preferences, corrections, personal facts |
| project | project_docs | Repository docs, code context, architecture decisions |
| agent | agent_actions | Tool call logs, reasoning traces, generated artifacts |
cognee-cli recall "$ARGUMENTS" -s "${COGNEE_SESSION_ID:-claude_code_session}" -k 10 -f json
cognee-cli recall "$ARGUMENTS" -d "${COGNEE_PLUGIN_DATASET:-claude_sessions}" -k 5 -f json
# User data only
cognee-cli recall "$ARGUMENTS" -d "${COGNEE_PLUGIN_DATASET:-claude_sessions}" --node-set user_context -k 5 -f json
# Project data only
cognee-cli recall "$ARGUMENTS" -d "${COGNEE_PLUGIN_DATASET:-claude_sessions}" --node-set project_docs -k 5 -f json
# Agent data only
cognee-cli recall "$ARGUMENTS" -d "${COGNEE_PLUGIN_DATASET:-claude_sessions}" --node-set agent_actions -k 5 -f json
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/cognee-search.sh "$ARGUMENTS"
Results include a _source field:
"session" — from the session cache (current conversation)"graph" — from the permanent knowledge graphSession entries tagged with [category:agent] are automatic tool call logs.
| Signal | Action |
|---|---|
| Need current session context | Already automatic, no action needed |
| "what are my preferences" | Search graph with --node-set user_context |
| "what does the codebase do" | Search graph with --node-set project_docs |
| "what did we do last time" | Search graph (all categories) with -d |
| User explicitly says "search cognee" | Search graph with -d |
| Auto context insufficient | Search session with -s -k 10 |
npx claudepluginhub topoteretes/cognee-integrations --plugin cognee-memorySearches and retrieves memories from Cortex persistent memory using WRRF retrieval. Use for past decisions, patterns, bugs, or architecture context.
Searches knowledge graph, loads session context, views history, checks status, and visualizes memory for recalling past decisions in coding sessions.
Stores data permanently in the Cognee knowledge graph with category tagging (user, project, agent) for filtered retrieval.
