Updated prerequisites and installation instructions for Cognee, including Python version requirements and Docker setup. Modified code examples to reflect changes in the FalkorDB provider name and added details on environment variables.

Update

Added a recommendation to install Cognee 1.2 in the install section. Cognee 1.2.2 is the current PyPI release and the FalkorDB community adapter (0.3.1) supports cognee <2.0.0, so the install is pinned to cognee>=1.2,<2.0.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Cognee documentation is updated to align with the community FalkorDB adapter's current naming conventions, replacing "falkordb" provider references with "falkor", updating the adapter import pattern, revising pip install commands, changing the LLM model example, and updating prune/reset guidance across installation, examples, configuration, troubleshooting, and FAQ sections.

Changes

Cognee documentation update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Installation and quick start example
agentic-memory/cognee.md
Prerequisites, Docker setup, and pip install commands are updated for the new adapter package and Python version range; the quick start example imports register from the new adapter module, configures "falkor" provider, and resets via prune.prune_system(metadata=True).
Advanced search and LLM config examples
agentic-memory/cognee.md
The advanced search example is updated with CHUNKS/RAG_COMPLETION and an expanded list of search types; the example LLM model changes from gpt-4 to gpt-4o-mini, and reset code uses prune.prune_system(metadata=True).
Configuration reference updates
agentic-memory/cognee.md
Environment variable docs add dataset handler variables, and database configuration snippets switch to "falkor" provider naming for graph and vector setups.
Troubleshooting, resources, and FAQ updates
agentic-memory/cognee.md
Troubleshooting sections, resource links, and FAQ answers are revised to reference "falkor" provider naming, the updated adapter import, and the prune.prune_system(metadata=True) reset instruction.

Pull request overview

Updates the Cognee integration guide to reflect the current FalkorDB community adapter requirements and configuration conventions, aiming to reduce setup friction and common misconfigurations.

Changes:

  • Tightened prerequisites (Python version range) and added a Docker one-liner for running FalkorDB locally.
  • Updated the quick start and configuration examples to use the adapter’s registered provider name ("falkor") and refreshed prune_system/LLM model examples.
  • Expanded troubleshooting and resources, including notes on environment variables and “unsupported provider” errors.

Pin the Cognee install to the 1.2 release line and note that 1.2 is the
latest recommended version for new projects.

@gkorland I pushed a small follow-up commit directly to this PR branch that recommends Cognee 1.2 in the install section (pinned to cognee>=1.2,<2.0). Cognee 1.2.2 is the current PyPI release and the FalkorDB adapter 0.3.1 supports cognee <2.0.0. The change is already applied and CI is green, so no action needed on your side other than a review and approval when you get a chance. 🙏

Pin the install inputs to the tested release line.

The prereqs, Docker command, and pip install step all float on moving targets (falkordb:latest, the unversioned adapter package, and the “latest release” wording). That makes the guide non-reproducible and the version matrix ambiguous. Pin the image/adapter versions, or clearly label them as examples validated against the 1.2 line.
