What it does

It teaches the agent how to find, install and wire up third-party community plugins for the cognee memory and knowledge framework. These plugins add extra databases (such as Qdrant, Milvus or Redis), data-source connectors (such as Slack, Gmail or Notion) and custom tasks. It also explains how to contribute a new package to the cognee-community repository, including naming and structure rules.

Great for

  • Developers building a cognee-based app who want to store data in a database that cognee does not support natively
  • Teams wanting to ingest Slack, Gmail, Notion, Confluence or Google Drive content into cognee
  • Contributors preparing a new package for the cognee-community monorepo

Skip it if

  • Users who only need core cognee features, since this skill covers plugins that live outside core and adds setup steps
  • Anyone handling sensitive mail or chat exports without a plan, because connectors pull personal data and the skill does not cover privacy review
  • Anyone expecting a fully self-contained tool: the skill only describes packages, and each package has its own dependencies and credentials documented elsewhere

Try asking

  • “Set up cognee with the Qdrant community vector adapter and check that the provider name is accepted”
  • “Ingest a Slack export into a dedicated cognee dataset using the Slack connector”
  • “Help me add a new community database adapter package following the repo's structure and tests”
  • “Which community adapters support multi-tenant access control with ENABLE_BACKEND_ACCESS_CONTROL?”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Import the package's register module before configuring the provider, or cognee will reject the provider name
  • Give every connector its own dataset name, and check the package README for the credentials it needs
  • If ENABLE_BACKEND_ACCESS_CONTROL is on, confirm the adapter ships a dataset-database handler; otherwise set it to false
