alvis f67a5bee67 openai: OpenClaw plugins, memory migration tooling, backup and GPU scripts
Plugins for the Adolf gateway:
  - hindsight-openclaw-plugin: expanded memory recall/retain surface for the
    Cognee -> Hindsight migration
  - todoist-capture-plugin: posts captured ideas to agap-mcp's /capture-idea,
    sending the kb#180 bearer token when AGAP_MCP_TOKEN is present
  - feedback-loop-openclaw-plugin, kimi-quota-footer-plugin, cognee-mcp,
    cognee-openclaw-plugin

Plus migrate-adolf-memory-banks.mjs for the memory-bank split,
backup-hindsight-adolf.sh / backup-llm-dbs.sh (the Hindsight and adolf-state
backups that were previously missing), and gpu_preload_check.sh for the
GTX 1070 residency checks.

Transform ingested data into a structured knowledge graph.
This is the core processing step in Cognee that converts raw text and documents
into an intelligent knowledge graph. It analyzes content, extracts entities and
relationships, and creates semantic connections for enhanced search and reasoning.
Prerequisites:
- **LLM_API_KEY**: Must be configured (required for entity extraction and graph generation)
- **Vector Database**: Must be accessible for embeddings storage
- **Graph Database**: Must be accessible for relationship storage
Input Requirements:
- **Content Types**: Works with any text-extractable content including:
* Natural language documents
* Structured data (CSV, JSON)
* Code repositories
* Academic papers and technical documentation
* Mixed multimedia content (with text extraction)
Processing Pipeline:
1. **Document Classification**: Identifies document types and structures
2. **Permission Validation**: Ensures user has processing rights
3. **Text Chunking**: Breaks content into semantically meaningful segments
4. **Entity Extraction**: Identifies key concepts, people, places, organizations
5. **Relationship Detection**: Discovers connections between entities
6. **Graph Construction**: Builds semantic knowledge graph with embeddings
7. **Content Summarization**: Creates hierarchical summaries for navigation
Parameters
----------
data : str
The data to be processed and transformed into structured knowledge.
This can include natural language, file location, or any text-based information
that should become part of the agent's memory.
graph_model_file : str, optional
Path to a custom schema file that defines the structure of the generated knowledge graph.
If provided, this file will be loaded using importlib to create a custom graph model.
Default is None, which uses Cognee's built-in KnowledgeGraph model.
graph_model_name : str, optional
Name of the class within the graph_model_file to instantiate as the graph model.
Required if graph_model_file is specified.
Default is None, which uses the default KnowledgeGraph class.
custom_prompt : str, optional
Custom prompt string to use for entity extraction and graph generation.
If provided, this prompt will be used instead of the default prompts for
knowledge graph extraction. The prompt should guide the LLM on how to
extract entities and relationships from the text content.
Returns
-------
list
A list containing a single TextContent object with information about the
background task launch and how to check its status.
Next Steps:
After successful cognify processing, use search functions to query the knowledge:
```python
import cognee
from cognee import SearchType
# Process your data into knowledge graph
await cognee.cognify()
# Query for insights using different search types:
# 1. Natural language completion with graph context
insights = await cognee.search(
"What are the main themes?",
query_type=SearchType.GRAPH_COMPLETION
)
# 2. Get entity relationships and connections
relationships = await cognee.search(
"connections between concepts",
query_type=SearchType.GRAPH_COMPLETION
)
# 3. Find relevant document chunks
chunks = await cognee.search(
"specific topic",
query_type=SearchType.CHUNKS
)
```
Environment Variables:
Required:
- LLM_API_KEY: API key for your LLM provider
Optional:
- LLM_PROVIDER, LLM_MODEL, VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER, GRAPH_DATABASE_PROVIDER
- LLM_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED: Enable rate limiting (default: False)
- LLM_RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS: Max requests per interval (default: 60)
Notes
-----
- The function launches a background task and returns immediately
- The actual cognify process may take significant time depending on text length

"""
Search and query the knowledge graph for insights, information, and connections.
This is the final step in the Cognee workflow that retrieves information from the
processed knowledge graph. It supports multiple search modes optimized for different
use cases - from simple fact retrieval to complex reasoning and code analysis.
Search Prerequisites:
- **LLM_API_KEY**: Required for GRAPH_COMPLETION and RAG_COMPLETION search types
- **Data Added**: Must have data previously added via `cognee.add()`
- **Knowledge Graph Built**: Must have processed data via `cognee.cognify()`
- **Vector Database**: Must be accessible for semantic search functionality
Search Types & Use Cases:
**GRAPH_COMPLETION** (Recommended):
Natural language Q&A using full graph context and LLM reasoning.
Best for: Complex questions, analysis, summaries, insights.
Returns: Conversational AI responses with graph-backed context.
**RAG_COMPLETION**:
Traditional RAG using document chunks without graph structure.
Best for: Direct document retrieval, specific fact-finding.
Returns: LLM responses based on relevant text chunks.
**CHUNKS**:
Raw text segments that match the query semantically.
Best for: Finding specific passages, citations, exact content.
Returns: Ranked list of relevant text chunks with metadata.
**SUMMARIES**:
Pre-generated hierarchical summaries of content.
Best for: Quick overviews, document abstracts, topic summaries.
Returns: Multi-level summaries from detailed to high-level.
**CODE**:
Code-specific search with syntax and semantic understanding.
Best for: Finding functions, classes, implementation patterns.
Returns: Structured code information with context and relationships.
**CYPHER**:
Direct graph database queries using Cypher syntax.
Best for: Advanced users, specific graph traversals, debugging.
Returns: Raw graph query results.
**FEELING_LUCKY**:
Intelligently selects and runs the most appropriate search type.
Best for: General-purpose queries or when you're unsure which search type is best.
Returns: The results from the automatically selected search type.
Parameters
----------
search_query : str
Your question or search query in natural language.
Examples:
- "What are the main themes in this research?"
- "How do these concepts relate to each other?"
- "Find information about machine learning algorithms"
- "What functions handle user authentication?"
search_type : str
The type of search to perform. Valid options include:
- "GRAPH_COMPLETION": Returns an LLM response based on the search query and Cognee's memory
- "RAG_COMPLETION": Returns an LLM response based on the search query and standard RAG data
- "CODE": Returns code-related knowledge in JSON format
- "CHUNKS": Returns raw text chunks from the knowledge graph
- "SUMMARIES": Returns pre-generated hierarchical summaries
- "CYPHER": Direct graph database queries
- "FEELING_LUCKY": Automatically selects best search type
The search_type is case-insensitive and will be converted to uppercase.
top_k : int, optional
Maximum number of results to return (default: 10).
Controls the amount of context retrieved from the knowledge graph.
- Lower values (3-5): Faster, more focused results
- Higher values (10-20): More comprehensive, but slower and more context-heavy
Helps manage response size and context window usage in MCP clients.
Returns
-------
list
A list containing a single TextContent object with the search results.
The format of the result depends on the search_type:
- **GRAPH_COMPLETION/RAG_COMPLETION**: Conversational AI response strings
- **CHUNKS**: Relevant text passages with source metadata
- **SUMMARIES**: Hierarchical summaries from general to specific
- **CODE**: Structured code information with context
- **FEELING_LUCKY**: Results in format of automatically selected search type
- **CYPHER**: Raw graph query results
Performance & Optimization:
- **GRAPH_COMPLETION**: Slower but most intelligent, uses LLM + graph context
- **RAG_COMPLETION**: Medium speed, uses LLM + document chunks (no graph traversal)
- **CHUNKS**: Fastest, pure vector similarity search without LLM
- **SUMMARIES**: Fast, returns pre-computed summaries
- **CODE**: Medium speed, specialized for code understanding
- **FEELING_LUCKY**: Variable speed, uses LLM + search type selection intelligently
Environment Variables:
Required for LLM-based search types (GRAPH_COMPLETION, RAG_COMPLETION):
- LLM_API_KEY: API key for your LLM provider
Optional:
- LLM_PROVIDER, LLM_MODEL: Configure LLM for search responses
- VECTOR_DB_PROVIDER: Must match what was used during cognify
- GRAPH_DATABASE_PROVIDER: Must match what was used during cognify
Notes
-----
- Different search types produce different output formats
- The function handles the conversion between Cognee's internal result format and MCP's output format
