Cognee Foundation

Use when building or porting cognee-style knowledge-pipeline memory engines — dataset-scale task-run engines with rollback, deterministic DataPoint identity, exact-reconstruction chunkers, ontology-canonicalized graph construction, provenance-folded writes, vector-to-graph triplet ranking, hybrid RRF retrieval lanes, and additive contradiction handling. Source code and direct tests are ground truth; references carry decisive excerpts and graph retrieval.

cognee: Knowledge-Pipeline Memory Engine Foundation

Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this projection and decide what ships.

Provenance and revision

Source record: cognee; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
Recorded revision: main@a8f9760b.
Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence: references/index.md.

Topic map

Representative topics: Cognify routing; Task engine; Chain core; Run engine; Incremental skip; Rollback; Background anchoring; Dataset lock.
Scope and retrieval questions: references/index.md#use-this-for.
Complete capsule chooser: references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump.
Detailed grouped map: references/index.md#capsule-map.
Source limitations and portability boundaries: references/index.md#boundaries.

Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply this foundation as a procedure.
