Use when working with cognee's session memory or improve() — storing conversation turns, agent traces and feedback with session_id, bridging sessions into the permanent graph, reading an ImproveResult, understanding why an improve stage was skipped or already_completed, or tuning the IMPROVE_* settings.
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
# Session memory and improve()
cognee has two kinds of memory:
- **Session memory**: a fast cache of conversation turns, agent traces, and
feedback, keyed by `session_id`. Writing is instant, with no LLM
extraction.
- **The permanent graph**: what `remember()` builds without a session.
`improve()` connects them. It bridges session content into the graph and
enriches the graph itself. `remember()` calls it automatically, so most
users never call it directly.
```python
import cognee
# Session write: returns immediately; improve() bridges it in the background
await cognee.remember("User prefers dark mode.", session_id="chat_1")
# Session-aware query: session cache first, then the graph
results = await cognee.recall("What does the user prefer?", session_id="chat_1")
# Bridge sessions into a dataset's graph explicitly
result = await cognee.improve(dataset="main_dataset", session_ids=["chat_1"])
print(result.status, result.stage_summary())
await cognee.wait_for_background_tasks() # before a script exits
```

How to install
mdr add topoteretes/cognee/cognee-improve-sessions@sha256:c677f5e5d2e747ebThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.a4f73b2, 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.
