cognee-ingestion SKILL.md skillA
cognee-ingestion from topoteretes/cognee is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add topoteretes/cognee/cognee-ingestion@git:20261015.1509b06Pins git:20261015.1509b06 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when putting data into cognee memory with remember() — choosing inputs (text, files, folders, URLs, repos, databases), datasets and node_sets, loaders, ontologies, the graph extractor (LLM or GLiNER), chunking, dry-run cost estimates, or when remember() raises on a keyword argument.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ingest data with remember()
`remember()` is cognee's ingestion API. One call stores the data, builds the
knowledge graph, and enriches it. Use it for all ingestion; every option in
this skill is a `remember()` argument unless it says otherwise.
```python
import cognee
result = await cognee.remember("Einstein was born in Ulm.") # text
result = await cognee.remember(
["./notes.md", "./report.pdf"], # files
dataset_name="research",
)
print(result.status, result.dataset_id) # "completed", UUID
```
All cognee functions are async. Without `dataset_name` data goes to
`main_dataset`. Needs `LLM_API_KEY` unless you use the GLiNER extractor
(below).
## Use it
### Inputs
`data` accepts a string, a list of strings, file paths (absolute, `file://`,
`s3://`), http(s) URLs, binary streams, or a list mixing them.
- **URLs** are fetched and scraped (needs `ALLOW_HTTP_REQUESTS=true`, the
default).
- **Folders** are ingested file by file. A folder that looks like a code
project, or a GitHub/GitLab URL, becomes one code repository (needs `git`
on PATH).
- **Code files** (`.py`, `.ts`, `.go`, …) go down the code-graph route: a

How to install
mdr add topoteretes/cognee/cognee-ingestion@sha256:0c53bfb1769a3a25The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.1509b06, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
