 # @cognee/cognee-openclaw
 
-OpenClaw plugin that adds Cognee-backed memory with automatic recall and indexing.
+OpenClaw plugin that adds Cognee-backed memory with **multi-scope support** (company/user/agent), session tracking, and automatic recall.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Auto-recall**: Before each agent run, searches Cognee for relevant memories and injects them as context
-- **Auto-index**: On startup and after each agent run, syncs memory markdown files to Cognee (add new, update changed, skip unchanged)
-- **CLI commands**: `openclaw cognee index` to manually sync, `openclaw cognee status` to check state
-- **Configurable**: Search type, max results, score filtering, token limits, and more
+- **Multi-scope memory**: Separate datasets for company-wide knowledge, per-user preferences, and per-agent context
+- **Scope-aware routing**: Memory files are automatically routed to the correct dataset based on directory structure
+- **Multi-scope recall**: Before each agent run, searches across all configured scopes and injects labeled context
+- **Session tracking**: Multi-turn conversation context via Cognee's session system
+- **14 search types**: From simple semantic search (CHUNKS) to chain-of-thought graph reasoning (GRAPH_COMPLETION_COT) to auto-selection (FEELING_LUCKY)
+- **Health check**: Verifies Cognee API connectivity before operations
+- **Auto-index**: Syncs memory markdown files to Cognee (add new, update changed, delete removed, skip unchanged)
+- **Memify support**: Optional graph enrichment after cognify for better entity consolidation
+- **One-command setup**: `openclaw cognee setup` configures Cognee as the sole memory provider
+- **CLI commands**: `openclaw cognee setup`, `openclaw cognee index`, `openclaw cognee status`, `openclaw cognee health`, `openclaw cognee scopes`
+
+## Security: Recommended Plugin Allowlist
+
+OpenClaw will auto-load any plugin it discovers if `plugins.allow` is not set. To restrict which plugins can load, add an explicit allowlist to your `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
+
+```yaml
+plugins:
+  allow:
+    - cognee-openclaw
+    - cognee-openclaw-skills
+```
+
+Without this, any plugin found in your environment could be loaded automatically.
 
 ## Installation
 
@@ -23,76 +42,226 @@ openclaw plugins install -l .
 Or once published:
 
 ```bash
-openclaw plugins install @cognee/cognee-openclaw
+# Pin to an exact version to avoid unintended updates (supply-chain best practice)
+openclaw plugins install @cognee/cognee-openclaw@2026.3.0
 ```
 
-## Configuration
+## Quick Start
+
+After installing, run the setup command to configure Cognee as the memory provider:
 
-Enable the plugin in your OpenClaw config (`~/.openclaw/config.yaml` or project config):
+```bash
+# Cognee only (replaces built-in memory)
+openclaw cognee setup
+
+# Or keep built-in memory alongside Cognee
+openclaw cognee setup --hybrid
+```
+
+**Default mode** disables built-in memory providers — all recall comes from Cognee.
+
+**Hybrid mode** keeps `memory-core` enabled — the agent uses both Cognee recall and built-in memory search.
+
+Then optionally configure the Cognee connection in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
 
 ```yaml
 plugins:
   entries:
-    memory-cognee:
+    cognee-openclaw:
       enabled: true
       config:
         baseUrl: "http://localhost:8000"
         apiKey: "${COGNEE_API_KEY}"
         datasetName: "my-project"
-        searchType: "GRAPH_COMPLETION"
-        maxResults: 6
-        autoRecall: true
-        autoIndex: true
 ```
 
-Set your API key in the environment:
+## Multi-Scope Memory
 
-```bash
-export COGNEE_API_KEY="your-key-here"
+For production use, enable multi-scope mode by setting any scope-specific dataset name:
+
+```yaml
+plugins:
+  entries:
+    cognee-openclaw:
+      enabled: true
+      config:
+        baseUrl: "http://localhost:8000"
+        apiKey: "${COGNEE_API_KEY}"
+
+        # Multi-scope datasets
+        companyDataset: "acme-shared"
+        userDatasetPrefix: "acme-user"
+        agentDatasetPrefix: "acme-agent"
+        userId: "${OPENCLAW_USER_ID}"
+        agentId: "code-assistant"
+
+        # Search all scopes during recall (in priority order)
+        recallScopes:
+          - agent
+          - user
+          - company
+
+        # Default scope for files not matching any route
+        defaultWriteScope: "agent"
+```
+
+### Memory Scope Hierarchy
+
+| Scope | Dataset | Purpose | Example Files |
+|-------|---------|---------|---------------|
+| **Company** | `acme-shared` | Shared knowledge across all users/agents | `memory/company/policies.md`, `memory/company/domain-glossary.md` |
+| **User** | `acme-user-alice` | Per-user preferences, feedback, corrections | `memory/user/preferences.md`, `memory/user/feedback.md` |
+| **Agent** | `acme-agent-code-assistant` | Per-agent learned behaviors, tool outputs | `memory/tools.md`, `MEMORY.md` |
+
+### Scope Routing
+
+Files are routed to scopes based on their path. Default routing rules:
+
+```
+memory/company/**  ->  company scope
+memory/user/**     ->  user scope
+memory/**          ->  agent scope (catch-all)
+MEMORY.md          ->  agent scope
+```
+
+Custom routing via config:
+
+```yaml
+scopeRouting:
+  - pattern: "memory/shared/**"
+    scope: company
+  - pattern: "memory/personal/**"
+    scope: user
+  - pattern: "memory/**"
+    scope: agent
+```
+
+### Multi-Scope Recall
+
+During recall, the plugin searches each scope independently and injects labeled results:
+
+```xml
+<cognee_memories>
+  <agent_memory>[agent-specific results]</agent_memory>
+  <user_memory>[user preference results]</user_memory>
+  <company_memory>[shared knowledge results]</company_memory>
+</cognee_memories>
 ```
 
+This lets the agent distinguish between personal context, shared knowledge, and its own learned patterns.
+

-## How It Works
+### Timeouts
 
-1. **On startup**: Scans `memory/` directory for markdown files and syncs to Cognee (add new, update changed, skip unchanged)
-2. **Before agent start**: Searches Cognee for memories relevant to the prompt and prepends as `<cognee_memories>` context
-3. **After agent end**: Re-scans memory files and syncs any changes the agent made
-4. **State tracking**:
-   - `~/.openclaw/memory/cognee/datasets.json` — dataset ID mapping
-   - `~/.openclaw/memory/cognee/sync-index.json` — per-file hash and Cognee data IDs
-
-Memory files detected at: `MEMORY.md`, `memory.md`, or `memory/*.md`
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `requestTimeoutMs` | number | `60000` | HTTP timeout for Cognee requests |
+| `ingestionTimeoutMs` | number | `300000` | HTTP timeout for add/update requests |
 
 ## CLI Commands
 
 ```bash
+# Configure Cognee as the memory provider (run once after install)
+openclaw cognee setup              # Cognee only
+openclaw cognee setup --hybrid     # Cognee + built-in memory
+
 # Manually sync memory files to Cognee
 openclaw cognee index
 
-# Check sync status (indexed files, pending changes)
+# Check sync status (files indexed, dataset info, per-scope breakdown)
 openclaw cognee status
+
+# Verify Cognee API connectivity
+openclaw cognee health
+
+# Show memory scope routing for current workspace files
+openclaw cognee scopes
 ```
 
+## How It Works
+
+1. **On startup**: Health check, then scan `memory/` directory and sync files to scope-specific Cognee datasets
+2. **Before agent start**: Search each configured scope in parallel, merge results with scope labels, inject as `<cognee_memories>` context
+3. **After agent end**: Re-scan memory files and sync any changes (including deletions) to the correct scope datasets
+4. **State tracking**:
+   - `~/.openclaw/memory/cognee/datasets.json` — dataset ID mapping
+   - `~/.openclaw/memory/cognee/scoped-sync-indexes.json` — per-scope file hashes and data IDs
+   - `~/.openclaw/memory/cognee/sync-index.json` — legacy single-scope index
+
+Memory files detected at: `MEMORY.md` and `memory/**/*.md` (recursive)
