Cogni-Code

Install

Section titled “npm (recommended)”
Terminal window
npm install -g cogni-code
cogni-code install

Auto-detects Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode. Initializes graph memory at ~/.graph-memory/ if needed. For a custom location:

Terminal window
cogni-code install --graph-root /path/to/memory

With the background pipeline (Docker)

Section titled “With the background pipeline (Docker)”
Terminal window
npm install -g cogni-code
cogni-code install --docker

Sets up the Docker daemon that runs the scribe/librarian/dreamer pipeline automatically. Requires Docker Desktop or Podman. Auto-detects the worker provider (codex, claude, or opencode) or specify with --worker codex.

Updates are automatic — npm update -g cogni-code updates all hooks instantly (they call the cogni-code CLI, not absolute file paths).

From source (git clone)

Section titled “From source (git clone)”
Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/ConnorCallahan01/cogni-code.git
cd cogni-code/graph-memory-plugin
npm install && npm run build


./bin/install.sh           # Claude Code
./bin/install-codex.sh     # Codex CLI
./bin/install-opencode.sh  # OpenCode

First run

Section titled “First run”

Then start a session and run:

/memory-onboard

The onboard wizard walks you through runtime mode and seeds your first memory nodes. If you installed via npm, the graph is already initialized — onboarding is optional.
